Flickit - Fun and easy Flickr uploading for your iPhone and iPod Touch
This is now my go-to Flickr photo uploader for the iPhone. Great UI, lets you queue up photos and upload in batches, free. Everything you could want, and nothing more. Ace!

Bassets Being Bassets - a gallery on Flickr
Love love LOVE Flickr’s new gallery feature. Curate a collection, selecting from the whole of Flickr’s massive photoset. Here’s my first example, a sampling of the best basset hound shots.

Mum & Dad at Flickr Turns 5.25
We were wandering round SF with my parents, not quite sure what to do to pass the time until dinner, when I looked at my phone and saw Rev Dan Catt's tweet about the Flickr Turns 5.25 party.
Apart from the occasional concern that they were the oldest people there, they had a great time! A couple of free beers and some t-shirts later, and they were happy. (OK, it was mostly the free beer.)
Hurrah for the Good Ship Flickr! (And thanks to Cal for using his last Polaroid for this photo!)

Any Flickr employees reading this are encouraged to help me give you more money!

Flickr of Inspiration
My “review” of Flickr, from five years ago, when it didn’t do photo hosting, and was instead a chatroom where you could paste graphics from your shoebox into conversations. My, the concept of an open social web with APIs excited me at the time.
Happy birthday, chaps!

Symmetry Explorer
Symmetrize Flickr photos based on tag. Ones that turned out interesting to me were “bassethound”, “kiss”, “hippo” and, disturbingly, “boobs”.

Stewart Butterfield's bizarre resignation letter
That’s the way to do it. “Nary a sheet of tin has rolled of our own production lines in over 30 years!”

LOLCODE It's Everywhere
Flickr’s API includes LOLCODE as a return format. Duly noted for any APIs I might create in the future…

My Friend Flickr: A Match Made in Photo Heaven (Library of Congress)
US Library of Congress + Flickr == FTW! LoC uploads photos from their collection to Flickr, sharing them with the world, then Flickr users can update the metadata, improving their usefulness. Everyone’s a winner.

Happy Birthday, Sheriff George!
Another social software village I’m a member of: Basset hound owners on Flickr. There’s a great community forming of basset owners commenting on each others’ photos, and here, celebrating the birthday of another Flickrer’s dog!

Stats for your account | flickr.com
Flickr launches photo stats — get access and referrer information. Before today, I had no way of knowing that one of my photos is the current Google No. 1 hit for “santa cock”. Thanks, Flickr.

Edit your photos! On Flickr!
Flickr’s new Picnik integration is top-notch — Enough photo-tweaking power for about 80% of the population, I’d guess. And, effectively, a new implementation of “hohohohat”!
