NASA joins the Commons on Flickr today with three iconic sets spanning the US space agency’s 50+ year history. Their Commons account will feature photos from across the agency’s many locations and centers, chronicling the history of space and lunar missions, and the people and places of the organization.

NASA images are presently in the public domain so nothing to do with copyright license as such. There are about 200 images available on Flickr that are grouped into three sets. The first set is Building NASA with a self-explanotry name, second is Launch/Takeoff with features of many launch of NASAs rocket and project and third is NASA Center Namesakes set features photos of people at NASA.

Debbie Rivera, lead for the NASA Images project, said.

NASA’s long-standing partnership with Internet Archive and this new one with Yahoo!’s Flickr provides an opportunity for the public to participate in the process of discovery. In addition, the public can help the agency capture historical knowledge about missions and programs through this new resource and make it available for future generations.

Last year, Blogger turned ten. We were excited to present you with a (small-but-mighty) bounty of gifts, a token to commemorate all of your contributions over the years. For Blogger’s 11th birthday, we’re hosting the first ever Blogger global birthday party!

We’ll keep it simple—we set the date, you set the parties and Meetup Everywhere will help facilitate (free of charge!). Through the wonder of Meetup Everywhere, you’ll be able to find other bloggers in your area and either join a celebration that has already been set up or start a new party local to you,” he explained.

Meetup.com is the way for blogger to organize this birthday party worldwide. Few events have been created so far and the number is growing fast. Well, there is no size limit as long as Blogger is concerned, and it is also supplying a downloadable party pack. The PDF document has printable templates for the things you will require for the party, name tags, registration list, party hats and even directional signs for the people to find the “fiesta.”

You are free to create a new party in your town on the Meetup page or join the existing ones. So don’t miss out on this if you love blogging, as you never know who you could meetup with!

There is a free tool known as SlimPDF which is extremely light weight. Download and install it on your PC. This program is available for Windows users.

On installation, it asks you to register to get latest updates and offers. You can skip the step if you don’t want to register. After installing, run the program. Click on the “Open a PDF file” button appears on the middle of the program interface to open any new PDF file.

There are many features available to customize the look and feel. There are tools like zoom, fit page, fit width, normal view, rotate, and many more.

By testing this tool, I found it fast because of its light weightiness. Though it doesn’t comes with lot more advance features such as PDF editing, split and merge PDF, PDF creation, Comment, review and collaboration, etc. but if you want an application for reading PDF documents only then SlimPDF is highly recommended.

You can also print PDF documents using this tool. Also it is totally bloatware free. Where Adobe reader comes at 26.12 MB size and size of Foxit reader is 6.73 MB, this tool has a size of 1.3 MB. One thing I’d love to see in future is portable version of this tool.
