It’s been on my to do list since August, but I finally got the last mile of code done to restore my Five Card Flickr stories site to life.

If you had not played with this before, the initial description tells it all:
I’ve been ultra interested in the idea of telling stories in pictures. Ever [...]

Let’s say you were marooned on the apocryphal desert island that was equipped with a broadband internet connection limited to accessing one web site, what would it be?
Well maybe that is not the question I was framing- most people might claim email or twitter, maybe even (eww) facebook [...]

I always provide links back to the source as attribution for the flickr creative commons photos I use. Today I ran into the not so surprising case of wondering what to do, and what the ramifications for, if the original is no longer there?

Wow it has been so nice to be lazy, to be spending what feels like more time offline than online. All of the tech todos on my list for the holiday vacation remain undone (the list crumpled up and is burning in the wood stove now). The plan to [...]

This of course, is not a promise I intend to keep. I find these challenges very rewarding, especially the ones that you [...]

Nothing is more sweeter than the serendipity of finding something online that grabs a breath from you, and such that you drop what you are doing to dig deeper. This has only happened to me, oh, estimating (counting on fingers…) maybe 18672 times.
One more.
A day or so ago, on scanning the flow of tweets, I [...]

Flickr was quietly introduced a new feature that will be interesting to use- Galleries.
Think of it as a way to build collections of photos from other flickr users.
It was always hard to do this before; the ost viable route was tagging photos, most people do not allow other people [...]

Randomly surfing flickr for photos for a new video project. Sometimes, when I find a photo (usually via a compfight search) i like that’s part of a set, I look at the whole set.
On one today, I found it was generated automatically by something called Flickr Set Manager:
Flickr Set Manager allows you to automatically create [...]
