Two 451 Press articles were featured Netscape this week. The first was a recap of this week’s episode of The Simpsons at Watching Simpsons and the second was an article recapping this week’s interesting episode of 24 at Watching 24.

Other articles of note around the network are:

Digital Shutters discusses holiday photo shooting:

During that Easter egg hunt don’t miss the cute shots by constantly checking the picture you just took and erasing the bad ones. Bring along extra disks and only edit or erase when the action has slowed or you start to run out of disk space.

Tiny Treasury discusses the newest Disney Princess:

The character, Maddy, lives in the French Quarter in New Orleans and is the star of the new film “The Frog Princess” set for release in 2009.

YouTube Digger found a video online of an interesting paint technique:

While I think the end result isn’t the best portrait I’ve seen of the great man and master martial artist, it’s done in such a unique and clever way, with the guy using a series of chops and karate moves to create the work of art, it’s well worth drawing attention to and posting on YouTube Digger.

Elementary Chef gives the At-Home Recipe from a popular chain restaraunt:

If the recipe looks slightly too daunting, Olive Garden will be hosting a web cooking class to teach you the techniques. (How cool is that?) The cooking demonstrations will become available on April 9 at www.olivegarden.com/recipes.

Discussing Breast Cancer opens up conversation about discussing cancer with children:

My sound advice is to urge people to resist the temptation to ask them to take care of mommy because what they really need to know is who is going to take care of them.

Family Trip Deals writes about Montana Ghost Towns:

Many years since I’ve live in Montana (I moved back here in 1998), my parents have taken the kids to Bannack Days to enjoy a festival type atmosphere in Bannack Ghost Town. They can send and receive telegrams, eat ice cream, play in the river, ride horses, and many other fun activities.
