Not all battles are fought with a sword
Albert Einstein spent several years in Pasadena, California, working at CalTech. Einstein wasn’t known for being terribly focused on his surroundings, and apparently many of the locals were terrified that they would go down in history as the person that mowed down Einstein as he stepped out into the road without looking. (Apparently he left a check of some size in a library book – he’d been using it as a bookmark instead of depositing it.)
My 15 minutes would appear to be scattered like little breadcrumbs across the trail of my existence, and yesterday I discovered a few more.
It all started when kjell mentioned on Twitter how cool Flickr’s new stats were. I hadn’t heard of them yet, but being a good data head I immediately rushed to sign up and started poking around as soon mine were available.
A little poking turned up some unexpected clicks from ScienceBlogs. Digging some revealed the fact that two of my photos are being used in their channel photos this week!
Way cool.
Oh, and the originals are here and there.
