Week 3: Flickr phun

Time is flowing oddly these days, but sometime in the last couple weeks we had a baby shower here at the library for one of our children's librarians. This fabulous diaper cake was one of our centerpieces. Exactly the kind of image that should be shared with the world, no?

Regarding Flickr - I realize that everything is owned by someone, and usually one of the big kids, but come on, how many email and user accounts do I have to subscribe to before I am a social, savvy being?

Flickr is an interesting medium for sharing. Like many other sites and activities it is easy to get sucked into --I just spent 10 minutes watching stpiduko's "People I Asked" http://www.flickr.com/photos/eamon/sets/72157594526998899/ it's an amazing collection of photographs of people far and wide, strange and not so strange. But really, was it worth 20 minutes (yeah, I got sucked in again) of my life? Sure --this woman's tattoo is amazing! I'm really more voyeur than social networker - I have no desire to tell stpiduko how fabulous he is (surely he's heard that by now) so I'm not really being social am I? To loosely refer to John Bender - where do the lines fall between demented, sad and social?

P.S. My attempts to post Flickr images with the URL option were wholly unsuccessful... so much for technically savvy.
