Little help from far away, thanks to Creative Commons and Daruma

A few weeks ago a Flickr user dropped me a piece of Flickr mail asking if she could use one of my photos. Hi there, I’m helping with a fund raising bake sale for victims of the recent earthquakes and tsunami in Japan. I was looking for a daruma image to use for the packaging… Continue reading Little help from far away, thanks to Creative Commons and Daruma

Follow-ups, Notes, And Updates

In no particular order: The MetaFilter community continues to amaze me. After getting some much appreciated help from Extraface readers but no resolution, I threw the Jazz Cap question out to Ask.MetaFilter.com. Though I still haven’t found a photo, I got back several solid recollections, a few of which came in within an hour. Here’s… Continue reading Follow-ups, Notes, And Updates

I found this year that the tools I was showing off all provided some real… Continue reading Thankful For Technologies

Flickr Change Of Address Cards

So far, one of the toughest parts of migrating my online identity from Earthling(and EarthLink) to just plain me has been moving my Flickr account from anearthling to extraface. I’ve spent a great deal of time thinking about the process, poking around in the Flickr interface and 3rd-party tools, and finally in the Flickr mail… Continue reading Flickr Change Of Address Cards

Flickr Is Not Comics, But It Is Something

I just finished reading Understanding Comics, by Scott McCloud. It instructed, inspired, fired, and delighted me. It's a singular work of clear and penetrating explanation, but you probably already knew that. I'm like the television neophyte discovering Seinfeld for the first time in 2006. Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art Why me and this book didn't… Continue reading Flickr Is Not Comics, But It Is Something
