Hoax image of #occupyWallStreet goes viral on Facebook

Here is an interesting example of how you must not believe everything you see on social media. The image looks pretty convincing, but as soon I saw it I started thinking suspiciously - "Where did they get such a high vantage point?" .... and the answer is Google Maps.

The story has been shared on Facebook over 22000 times, yet it is a hoax. See the image source on Google Maps here.

FREE Omingraffle stencils for Drupal 7 and Commerce

Omnigraffle is without doubt one of the best planning and visualisation tools available. I use if for wire framing software projects, including Drupal. It enables even novice users to rapidly produce impressive imagery to communicate complex concepts to clients and helps avoid mis-interpretation.

I recently discovered on Graffletopia, the community driven library of stencils for Omnigraffle, that there are some Drupal 7 specific stencils. These include Drupal 7 components, Drupal Commerce and Drupal Search.

Thanks @webchick and @drupalize.me - Free Community Drupal Videos available now!

Less than a month ago I identified a significant opportunity to improve Drupal's growth. Many users struggle with the concept of patches and would readily fix bugs, provide improvements, contribute more if they understood how.

Rather than write a lengthy blog post I thought it more beneficial to engage the power of the Drupal community. Angie Byron for years has been a Drupal Documentation super start, Jeff Robins co-founded Lullabot who specialise in Drupal Training. All I did was send a humble Tweet, the result was far greater than I had anticipated.

In response to my initial suggestion, Lullabot have created a whole new Free Community Drupal Videos section of Drupalize.me in response to my suggestion. Kicking off with two tutorials addressing creating and applying patches, Lullabot are welcoming further suggestions from Drupalistas with ideas which help foster a better Drupal.
