Hey Shawn, I'm a big fan of Picnik. It's quick, intuitive and does the job. Plus, they just opened up a bunch of the advanced features for free.

Thanks for the comment, Danny. I would agree that Pazienza strayed
into some pretty controversial topics -- I just think maybe a
discussion with him about appropriate boundaries or whatever might
have been a better way to go, rather than firing him.

I don' t know that I'd so quickly rush to Pazienza's defense. While I do believe journalists should be allowed to blog responsibly, Pazienza seemed to drift into politics (“I wake up every morning baffled as to why America hasn’t thrown George Bush and Dick Cheney in prison...") and other matters that could damage the objectivity --such as it is-- of CNN, whether or not he officially identified himself as working for CNN. And, if his work was being picked up by other large news/opinion sites, then I can see how that too might irk the brass over there.

That said, perhaps a firing wasn't in order. If he was such a popular blogger, perhaps they might've found a way to capitalize on that and reap the benefits for CNN.com.

In your case Matthew, your blog pretty much sticks to technology issues, and I believe it enhances your stature as a tecnology writer, which in turn benefits the Globe and Mail. Your blog and Pazienza's appear to be on very different ground.
