Ears still ringing, and we;ve got some amazing talent in the room, including @dlnorman, @sleslie, @grantpotter, @brnajack, @brlamb, @noiseprofessor, @DrGarcia, @draggin, and […]
For another hurry up and post story, this is an example of the flickr group Tell a Story in Five Frames, where you have to submit to the group discussion a single post with a title and 5 photos that… tell a story. It is in the vein of my Five Card Flickr stories, but […]

In preparation for a presentation I will do June 2 for the ETUG meeting in Nelson BC, I have been collecting a new series of "Amazing Stories". On my recent trip to the east coast, I snagged a series of new ones from friends and colleagues I visited. And this will be a dress rehearsal […]

I tried as hard as I can to post this yesterday, but the apps and the nets failed. I was sitting there in Washington Square park, and awash in seeing all kinds of human stories play out.
