In case you didn’t notice (yeah, I’ll admit that there might actually be people in the world who didn’t flinch), Flickr went down for a considerable amount of time today (something about moving 20TB of photos).
Well, Flickr’s back up again (thank G*d, I was starting to fade holding my breath so long).
And I gotta tell ya, the genius of Flickr is that, during their downtime, they put out a colouring contest. A friggin’ colouring contest. I mean, some people shy away behind geekery and tomfoolery to explain away the inevitable. Flickr? Nawh. It’s like a snow day where the busses never come — stay home fools! A make snow angels!
Oh, and I think I also found housing for this weekend, so thanks! But Boston, well, I’m still looking!

Harsh!
But true!
AND some people didn’t get hit by the down time-I couldn’t believe it either!
I put a link back to your Blog-let me know if that’s not okay-and I will remove the link.
