Around The Horn

In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention. This time we look at National Parks, Alice Guy-Blache, Bluetooth, Facebook and Flat Earthers and Canon G5X II in Lightroom.
- All National Parks Are Free to Enter This Sunday because it's the National Park Service's 103rd birthday on Aug. 25. If you can't make it on short notice, there will be two more on Sept. 28 and Nov. 11.
- Pamela Green has directed a film narrated by Jodie Foster on the life of Alice Guy-Blaché, History's First Female Filmmaker. Here's the trailer:
- After Mashable range the alarm, Shawn King asks Rich Mogull if Bluetooth Is a Security Risk. "The flaw is real and very serious," he notes. "It's also manageable by vendors enforcing min key length." He adds, "I think most or all Apple devices (and Microsoft, according to press releases) are protected." As King sums it up, "So, Bluetooth could be a security and privacy nightmare but it's not."
- In How Flat Earthers Nearly Derailed a Space Photo Book, Heather Murphy shows how "a highly engaged group of conspiracy theorists can override a fact-based endeavor's Internet ads." Shame on Facebook.
- Derrick Story does some Raw Processing, HDR, With Canon G5X II and Lightroom 2.4 in Las Vegas.
