Ok...flickr. Flickr and I don't get along so well, and in the throes of trying to use flickr for some personal use, I became utterly frustrated and opened a photobucket account, which I much prefer. For my personal stuff, for my blogs and whatever, I just need a place to basically host pics that I post, and of that it's precious few. I don't have a camera phone or any great need to publish my mug for all of the internets to see, haha.
However, with flickr, I did open an account and played around a bit. One of my favorites was krazydad's Flickr Chia Head. Check it out! Pick a pic and select where you want the chia plant to grow, and then watch as it fills it out. It made me laugh. Unfortunately I've not found a way to save a pic, so that's kind of a bummer.
I also made a trading card/name badge thingy, courtesy of fd's Flickr Toys, and I see the potential uses in such things, especially for any kind of recognition program, like for kids/schools, or to make some nice and fairly inexpensive gifts for family or whatever. It was fun to make:
As for technology itself...I enjoy technology when it is easy, fun, intuitive, and when I can see a use for it myself. That being said, I reluctantly admit to being wholy unimpressed with email, the web, digital cameras, and blogs with my first few exposures. Likely someday flickr will just knock my socks off and be my new best friend...or maybe not, lol.
