flicking toys

Well, I didn't find any mashups I could live without, but I imagine if I did more digging I would. Or if I was less focused on neats things and more focused on useful things. Neat things such as tag-related montages, photo grouping by color, spelling words with pictures, and photos labeled interesting on a given date.
In the end I uploaded another application that works with interestingness. As I understand it, Flickriver uses a tag I select (birds in this case) to create a constantly changing set of thumbnails for my blog, website, etc. Each time my blog is loaded, a new set of interesting bird photos from flickr appear in the location of my choice (between my Blog Archive and About Me). Neat.

Soup so cute you could eat it!

One of my favorite flickr activities is browsing for ridiculous photos, of which there are many. It makes me wish I had a spy camera so when I see awesome things around town(like spectacular mullets or old ladies in leather pants) I could take stealthy photographs and share them with the world. I guess the world will have to settle for pictures of me and Grandma. I also enjoy looking through vacation shots of places I hope to live or visit. It's loads more fun than a slideshow on a Chamber of Commerce or tourist board website.
