New Toyavailable on my flickr

I just got this new camera, a Canon Digital Rebel XT– going back to being a newbie learning a whole new interface. 8 MegaPixel SLR, wahoo!

I’ve been saving up my spare change and [...]

I really need to stop finding cool stuff and get some work done! But I could not pass on the Flickr Postcard Browser which takes any flickr tags and presents a view like a collection of photos laid out on the table, e.g. hitting some of my own on the tags “strawberry flower” for flower [...]

Mastercards with flickr uses the gazillion images found in flickr to create the familiar game of image matching. The site creator gives the nod to the version from Games For the Brain (a nice collection of stuff), but isn’t this really the old game of “Concentration”?
Here is the game I played using a flickr tag [...]

More exclamations of “holy flickr” emitting from my room. The flickr montager generates a mosaic image based on tags of a word from flickr.
I played a bit with it, tried my own montage on the tag “dog”. It randomly chose some image of a pocket puppy type dog (or as my friend Donna refers [...]

To learn, do. So to better understand how flickr groups work (sidenote- something on the net has “arrived” when I do not have to hyperlink its mention, when I write “flickr” it hardly seems necessary to lin k it to http://flickr.com/, see also Google) I decided to create a new flickr group.
Flickr groups allow members [...]

Also, they have expanded the in-page editing to the Blog This and Send button functionalities. This [...]

The Flickr Related Tag Browser is a cool way to surf and cross surf related tags within the vast flickr photo-empire.
Flickr Related Tag Browser lets you surf Flickr’s ‘tag space’. Flickr tags are keywords used to classify images. Each tag has a list of ‘related’ tags, based on clustered usage analysis.
Thanks to the Flickr team [...]

I whimsically, and falsely, wrote My Dentist Has an RSS Feed (there was a point, but that post has scrolled away…).
However, he is rather wired for his work. Today, at his new office, they used a digital xray machine that takes the photos of your teeth, but they insert a mini sensor card in your [...]

Regarding the recently blogged More Frivolous Fun: Spelling with Flickr, there is a new feature that you can use a small chunk of cut and paste JavaScript to put in the source of your web page, and have it dynamically create a different set of flickr-ed letters on every page reload… think of it as [...]

More fun with dynamic graphics, of no certain putpose. Spell With Flickr rummages through the vast supply of flickr photos of letters so you can create a dynamic generate spelled out version of any word, e.g here might be my new logo:

If you do not like the looks of any letter, just click on it [...]
