The Flickr folks are finally getting around to doing a “Day in the life of Flickr” sort of event called “24 Hours of Flickr“. (It seems like such an obvious idea, I’m really surprised they haven’t done it earlier.)
Today (5 May) is the big day, and the photos are already collecting with enthusiasm, with nearly 500 photos there now. (I’d expect many thousands before it’s all over – there are over 22K people that have joined the group.) So go take some cool shots and add them to this record of the day on the planet. If you’re lucky (and good) they may include your image in a book they’ll be producing later.
It’s all wet and dreary here (but we needed the rain!), so I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do. We have the annual Byte Bash (UMM computer science club picnic) this afternoon, and I was hoping for some cool shots there, but the weather makes that less clear. We’ll see, though. Unfortunately the business of both the day and the end of the year (grading! grading! grading!) mean that I can’t go out on a photo safari of any consequence. Such is life.
