I work on the fourth floor, mind you.

So amazing it physically makes my toe twitch.

I can only agree with him completely.

I went to my first hockey game (ever!) and saw our San Jose Sharks defeat the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning 3-1.

For the next two months, Zak Akin is the featured artist at a gallery/design shop/cafe in Palo Alto called Jungle. His “Pixelism” exhibition opened Friday evening, and I’ve posted pics from the gathering in a Flickr set.

I took these pictures while walking the few blocks from the restaurant where I’d had dinner to the BART station.

View the set on Flickr.

I’ve posted the pictures I took yesterday at Pride into my Flickr photostream.

I just moved a batch of photos from my 1998 Scotland trip over to Flickr.

Through a combination of photographic technology advancing a lot in the last seven years…

(and the APS camera I took these with was so cool at the time)

…and poor compression…

(I paid extra to get copies of my pics on floppies – all bounded to a maximum height/width of 600px, as it turns out. )

…these aren’t anywhere the quality I remember them (and want them) to be.

I thought briefly about trying to get higher-resolution images pulled off the APS film carts again, but that’ll be a whole lot of expense that I don’t need for a very minimally incremental result.

Better to beg/borrow others’ digital cameras until I get my own and to take new pics.

Thanks to a post in the Flickr blog, I discovered a cool new meme making its way across the ‘net:

Memory maps.

Basically, you take a screenshot of different places you’ve lived using Google Maps‘ new satellite photos, import those pics into Flickr, and use the Notes feature to annotate them.

There’s even a Flickr group where you can see others’ work.
