Yet Another Photo Toy

I found this at fotogail's MySpace page. I think you'll need flash to see it.

These are photos of my garden, this year:

This is very well-integated with flickr. Easy!

Gosh. It's almost hypnotic.

MOO

I'm still too tired for a real post -- but I do have some excitement to share: my free MOO minicards came today, and I am delighted with them. Of course, I hardly every go out, and these arrived just too late for my weekend adventures, but I'm sure I'll find some use for them. I've already given one to my next-door neighbor, who loved the peeling tree bark one.

They are tiny, and I think of them as my UNbusiness cards; something to think about if you, too, are not officially employed, or employed in some hobby that these might represent. These are on heavier stock than most business cards, and the photo prints are very good quality. I almost never print out my photos, so it's really fun to have these.

Doglets, Dogster| flickr, tabblo

I set up Catster accounts a few months ago for Spike and Boo, and finally got around to joining Dogster for Henry and Lucy last week. Here is LUCY @ Dogster, and here is HENRY @ Dogster. And, of course, they each must have their own unofficial flickr badge, to present themselves to their new social network:

While playing around at flickr, I discovered tabblo, which is nicely integrated -- a few clicks, a little patience (at least if, like me, you have far too many photos) and all your flickr photos are at tabblo, where you can make posters:

See my Tabblo>

They offer several different layouts, and prints. Not that I particularly want huge posters of my silly, social- networked dogs on my wall. Having them on my lap is sufficient.

Don't Do This

I can hardly bring myself to write this post.

There's this cool new Flickr toy: dopiaza's set generator, which allows you to automatically create new sets on flickr based on various criteria such as interestingness, date posted and tags, or even from a random set of photographs.

Great idea. I decided to do it -- to replace my "Your Favorites" set with a "Most Interesting" set.

So I deleted the "Your Favorites" set.

And all the photos in it.

All my best-loved, and no-doubt best, photos.

Anyone who blogged them, including me, now has a This photo is currently unavailable box instead of a photo in their post.

I still have these photos, on my computer -- I hope -- but will not be able to remember all of them. And they won't be at the same URL, so no automatic post fixing.

Believe me, I am very, very sorry.

Interesting Photos

[Where are they? They're gone.]

Shelley and qB have both posted Flickr's picks for their top photos, according to the mysterious interestingness formula. Here are mine:

It was a good mail day -- Flickr Schwag and poetry.
