I’m late to note that earlier this month, February 10 marked the 22nd year since flickr launched. You can ask your favorite chat thing “when was flickr launched” and the answer will spit out as February 10, 2004, but its just grabbing that from Wikipedia. Big trick. Doing some date calculation (sans AI), that means […]
Throw a party, in 2025 Flickr announces the arrival of Creative Commons version 4.0 licenses (cough, 12 years in the works?). I’d seen the announcement banner on flickr, though gave it no notice (especially since I use CC0 on my own photos, no versions needed). That is until I spotted a note from Sarah Honeychurch […]
Just like almost everyone with a soul, a partial mind, and a heart, I am aghast at the crumbling into a fascist pile of the country I was born in… and semi-paralyzed on the “what to do”. As mostly, a release is creating something, a visual statement, expression brimming with angry sarcasm. How literally organizations […]
Whew, I really thought I had my blog title pun game back on, but this one just did not work. This is mostly, as blog posts ought to be, for myself as a note of trying a new to me photo tool called Photini. As it turns out (BIB, Because It’s Blogged), the name has […]
Tag, we are it. I love me free form tagging. A bit before there were #hashtags there was the Web2.0 frenzy of folksonomy, and wealth that Wikipedia is, leads me to the birth of a term used quite widely. It rounds counter to the rigidity and forced rules of Official Metadata, in that people, groups, […]
One day late! I’m sorry Flickr, your 20th Birthday was yesterday but I have been thinking about this for a while, I promise. My love is real! Okay, here are 20 special things (there are more) in no specific order except when they pop out of my head, well actually as I am blitting them […]
I never thought of this benefit when I set out to do things regularly on the web, be it actually writing in your my space (that thing that seems to be now called newslettering, WTF), posting photos, even spewing to some social media platform formerly known as something else). In some, not nearly all or […]
Look at the pup’s photo. Why so sad, Kay? This flickr photo of you I took in 2014 while visiting your human, Richard Elliot, at his home in Auckland, has just been added to the home grown collection of my flickr photos that have been reused elsewhere. Maybe it’s boasting or self vanity, but discovering […]
Alas, the first three months of the year I kept to my goal/obsession to stay on form for daily flickr photo posting and daily #ds106 daily creates. Yes, I hit the mark for January, February, and March. Alas by April 30, 2023, day 120, my slippage is showing, with 118 daily flickr photos and 108 […]
Flickr does some very fun things for me, and my pink and blue dot loyalty planted in March 2004 remains true. One of the fun things it has done numerous times over the past 6+ years is, without much a recognizable pattern, decides to locate my photos somewhere in rural China and remote regions of […]
