Flickr linux something counter graph chart thingy

http://linuxinside.org/flickr/?nsid=84152687@N00


I found this on this dude, guybrarian's flickr profile.


It totals all your flickr view and such. I think it is very important for a flickr whore to have. I am a flickr whore, so I have it.


Here is a guybrarian t-shirt. I don't think it's related to the guybrarian on flickr, but could be related to the guybrarian in the seattle public library.

Steampunk Web Game sort of thing - pmog

The Passiveley Multiplayer Online Game seems to have a steampunk theme.


http://pmog.com/


I've been playing it a bit today, and haven't quite figured out what the game of it is.


I did find this nice site with scary pictures using it though. It's called childhood fears.

Sensual Botanica

Sensual Botanica at Flash Gallery in Block 7 of Belmar in Denver (SE of Wadsworth and Alameda). The opening is this Friday (tomorrow!) at 6:00PM.


There's some good stuff in this show - and a picture of mine. I should be at the opening for a bit - I have a plane to catch, so it's hard to say for how long.


Be there.
