Singapore, U.S. Consulate:
The new U.S. passport pages are, gasp, beautiful to behold.
We may have some of the most boring currency on the planet but, thank the lord, U.S. Passports pages have been upgraded to a stunning new design.
Check out theses photos and short film I made on Sentosa Island.
Maybe these PP designs have been out for a while but I haven’t seen them before and they made me instantly long to be back home - the imagry is that powerful.
I got my set of iconic views installed as “Extra Pages” yesterday at the U.S. Embassy.
After arriving in Singapore with only three spare VISA pages and planned stops in Indonesia, Malayasia and Japan, it was time to add pages before returning to Chicago next Thursday. The service is free and the worl is done while you wait.
I was told that waiting for passport services as a U.S. Citizen is a lot shorter at an overseas location and very true was in and out in less than 40 minutes. With the new law requiring U.S. Citizens to carry them for trips to neighboring countries there is a huge backlog stateside so I am thankful for options.
My favorite is the one with the steam locomotive!

“MySpace or Facebook?”
That’s one of the first questions I have been asking editors-in-chief in my travels the last three months and the answers have been surprising. More on that topic later, I have finally have had my bags unpacked in Chicago long enough to update my Facebook page and invite my friends in.
Robb on Facebook
I had been holding off doing too much with F’Book until the new widgets were released. I have a found a few I really like already and also found that Yuri Victor has started a Visual Editors group on Facebook for supporters of the public charity and addicts of the Web site.
Hats off to Yuri. BTW, I was blown away by this quote on the group’s ‘Wall” by Luke Knox.
VizEds people are the best people. Period. It’s a fact.

Brain never seems to rest
Robb’s brain never seemed to rest. He always has his finger on the pulse of what’s next in the worlds of technology and journalism. He brings technical skill, imagination, speed and an almost kid-like enthusiasm to his roles as a webmaster, news design consultant, new media consultant, photographer, speaker, educator, musician…..I mean, really, what doesn’t the guy do well!
