My Flickr stream has apparently gone past 10,000 views as of this morning. Pretty neat.

via LifeHack.org: a “period table” of visualization methods, techniques, strategies, apparati, etc. (Not sure if this is meant in jest or as a real-and-true reference)

via LifeHacker: Smart sets (a la iTunes Smart Playlists) for Flickr…
- Some amusing haiku movie reviews (such as this and these) helped your narrator here bring home a brand new camera from the company holiday party this year. Huzzah! Now (after I was just beginning to master the old one) to learn how to use it…



(How am I doing so far?)
- Also, because we went from a Sony to a Canon, we realized that the ol’ Memory Stick was out. But of course, the 16MB SD card that came with the Canon was hardly going to service us for the up-coming trip to Maryland. Luckily, between rebates and an unredeemed gift card, we managed to grab a 1GB SD card for about $5. Sweet.
- Also, my dad just jumped on the Flickr bandwagon to better share his international travels. Now playing? His bad ass trip to China. Enjoy.
Was I out to lunch on this aspect of the Flickr maps when it came out? Or did they just add this recently? Observe:

See the little blue dot in the lower-left corner of the thumbnail? When I first loaded up the map this evening I saw that most of them had it. And the only one that didn’t was one I hadn’t geotagged yet. So I let my curiosity get the better of me and I clicked on it:

…and sure enough it goes to that spot on the map with the call-out for the photo’s geotagged location. Neat! Put it all together (with my annotation, of course):

Anyway… I thought it was pretty spiffy.

So I decided to check out Flickr’s new “Camera Finder” feature that I’ve been hearing about this week. Mostly out of curiosity. What was all the fuss about? What kind of data does it show? What kind of discovery does it have? Anyway, seems that most of the popular cameras are all DSLRs (digital photo snobs!) but I drilled down a little bit to find my camera, and what should my wondering eyes see?

None other than our Stoli cat, of course. Rockin’ KetelOne for NaNoWriMo. Because our feline is literary like that… (Speaking of which: 44,492 and counting…)

Essay on the state of sci-fi, its influences, and (for the love of gods) whether/not it has enough (!?) to do with Star Wars…
