A Simple Way To Go Faster Than Light That Does Not Work

I just blew the dust off my Flickr account (unused since the Carcacookies Incident) to upload a bunch of stuff from my iPhone. It may be a crappy, unadjustable camera, but it's nonetheless an internet-aware digicam with effectively unlimited storage that is always in my pocket, so I've been taking lots of photos since last July. I waited this long because of a photo-swapping email thread on our Hunt team mailing list where someone proposed a group Flickr tag.

I have been throwing photos onto Facebook in the interim, but it's not the same. As far as I can tell, those photos aren't public, and you can't tag them as freely as Flickr allows.

Went through my "FlickrMail" and back-added everyone who added me as a contact over the years (and who didn't appear to be a 419 scammer), and then plugged their feeds into my RSS reader, a bit of technology I've only really started to use in the last year. So yeah, feel free to add zendonut as a contact, if you'd like.

I had some fun reading comments that I didn't know about, since I'd never set Flickr to alert me by email when my photos got comments. (I just rectified this.) Amused that a 2000 photo whose caption references Randal Schwartz's in-airplane photos got a comment from Randal Schwartz saying exactly what I was thinking, as I sat here reading that caption again in 2009.

Unsurprisingly, the Carcacookies got lots of comments. This one is my favorite. Fans of cthulhia's work should not miss the Memoir 35 cake that she and classicaljunkie constructed, and unveiled at the hunt.
