not really a blog, here are just some notes, quotes, links and thoughts that are as much for myself as anything. if anyone else ever reads this, please excuse the silliness. hi mom

and, "smallduck".. don't call me that. it's just an id from back in the day playing Marathon at work (guess what colour i always was). as well as going to this page, through the inevitable magic of RSS these entries also land on my facebook page - where i use my real name :-o

i recently changed the theme of this page but i still don't like it. i then customized it a bit and now i like it slightly less.

a funny thing

So.. flickr.com, popular site for hosting & sharing photos. Started by Vancouverites, bought by yahoo and for the most part not ruined in the process, nice. (MS, don’t buy yahoo! grrr)

So they just recently add support for hosting videos too, makes sense because cameras take videos too. I’m annoyed that iPhoto doesn’t store videos too.

Boom - backlash from people who don’t want flickr turning into youtube (which is easy, just don’t have the click-to-reply-from-your-webcam feature, that should do it).

So of course the rediculous backlash is being parodied: NO photos on Flickr ”Photos are the past! Please sign my petition” :^D With comments that follow: “I propose tagging all still images “UNMOVING FAIL” until this problem is corrected!”, a sparkly animated pony, and a great many like: “Flickr Video stole my bike” “Flickr Video makes bad coffee” “Flickr video told me it hated The Big Lebowski”

Any pictures I send to flickr in the future will definitely be tagged “UNMOVING FAIL”
