I ROCK for a beginner. Tonight we sat at Trey's and played Donkey Konga and it was similar yet different, and I was okay at that too. The pie was apple lychee.

Are you playing on Expert? I'm trying and mostly failing on the "Hard" level. The inedible pie made me laugh. What flavor was the pie? Guitar Hero is my most recent addiction.

You might want to track down and ask Ben Winters about it - he's been doing freelance work for a few years, primarily sports. My company is doing some work for Corbis images recently, and this has given me some exposure into the world of "microstock" -- something like 'user-generated stock photography,' from semi-pro or even amateur photographers. Prime example is iStockPhoto.com, which was recently bought by Getty Images for $50M. There are others like this whose names escape me. Can't say that it's a living, but I imagine you're *not* familiar with the blandness of contemporary stock imagery, so you might be less inclined to unintentionally mimic the tropes of the category - which could give you some form of competitive differentiation.
