![]() ![]() That and additional detail in Vanyaland’s article puts the event in a very different light than how the Globe chose to report this story. Regardless of what the singer said to him, that was unforgivable and should have been grounds for termination. He escalated the situation dramatically and committed a cardinal sin for any security guard at any live music venue by jeopardizing the safety of the performer and the performer’s equipment. I can’t think of any situation where I, as the owner or manager of a venue, would let someone work for me after that happened. That’s inexcusable for a security guard, and absolute cause for dismissal. ![]() Vanyaland was able to provide additional detail which helps put this in context, however: The security guard at the center of this controversy used physically intimidating gestures and body language and attacked the performer’s expensive traveling gear in the process. Emotions escalated and the staff member was removed the venue management ultimately fired the staff member for the infraction. The performer clearly wasn’t having a great night and stopped his performance to berate a staff member for eating his dinner close to the stage. In broad strokes, the same story is told. Now compare it to an article posted on Vanyaland, a site that focuses on music:īela Lugosi’s Fed: Peter Murphy interrupts Cambridge gig as security guard eats dinner near stage I admit, the circumstances around this are completely trivial, but I think it’s important to recognize.įirst, read this article in the Boston Globe, recounting the events of last week at the Middle East nightclub in Cambridge, Mass.:īouncer, singer almost got into a fight at Middle East because of a burger Posted in Uncategorized Bauhaus Burger Brouhaha: The Devil Is In The DetailsĪt the risk of making a mountain out of a molehill, I’d like to draw attention to an example of the media failing to do its job.

The second is Flickr Downloadr, which doesn’t cost a cent but is, quite frankly, a bit kludgy in the UI department. The first is Bulkr, an Adobe AIR-dependent app that is available in “Pro” trim for $29. I also tested out two free-to-download third-party backup tools. It works, but it’s kludgy if you want to back up your entire library, as I did. Flickr has a download tool that enables you to select individual photos or galleries for download to a handy ZIP file. The first method to back up your Flickr photos is built right into Flickr. Makes me wonder what else I’ve lost over the years, frankly. But it’s been almost a decade and a half, and in the intervening years I’ve bought hard drives which have died and migrated data to more than half a dozen new computers, so I guess it shouldn’t be a total surprise that I have stuff on Flickr I don’t have anywhere else. Many of the earlier ones I don’t have on my Mac or my iPhone. I’ve been using Flickr for nigh on 13 years now – since before Yahoo bought it in 2005, I know that much – so I have a lot of photos there. I’ve outlined three ways that you can download your pics quickly. I took what I learned and put it in a new blog post over at Backblaze. So I decided to back up my Flickr library to my Mac. ![]() That made me nervous for two reasons: Flickr is a single point of failure, and Yahoo has problems including massive user ID and password security breaches. At some point, I realized the only copy of some photos I have are on Flickr, the popular photo blogging service owned by Yahoo. ![]()
