Week 3 - Flickr again

Oh yes, and the mashups were fun - hard to control the cursor on Retreivr though. Plus, a little bit of tech cheating on montagr because they colorize-unlike the book montages. But still amazing. 

Week 3 - Flickr

What a cool and amazing site this is. I've had a blast searching out places I grew up and places I have always longed to see, relatives and friends and vintage pictures.  I have also been awed by all the incredible award winning photos. 
And of course, every stream you follow opens you up to other streams -so addictive!
I have not yet opened an account but think I will - although my former picture taking obsession has taken a major dive since my kids got older. Still - a lot of old photos to post!

Week 2 Create a Blog

Apparently Blogger is the easier site but somehow I still find ways to tie myself in knots. I have an odd mix of attraction and aversion to Web 2. Or perhaps the aversion is just getting Web 2 skills into my screaming protesting brain - I've always enjoyed playing around with this stuff once I finally get it.
I don't have a burning desire to post anything other than 23 thing commentary right now but who knows - maybe I'll be spouting out volumes of opinionated blather by the time we're through.
