martinis all ’round!
Ludicorp, the company behind Flickr.com, threw a going-away party on Thursday night at the Alibi Room in Gastown (the office gets moved to San Francisco on Tuesday). Libations, scrummy eats, and t-shirts were there for the taking, and I met more Flickrati than I could keep track of. Especially after the martinis. More [...]

So, it’s the wee hours of Saturday morning, and I’m only downloading my photos of the past few days to clear off the cards for the rest of the weekend. Forget Photoshop and any modifications, I’m sending small batches of photos Flickrward and writing smatterings. The rest will have to wait until after David leaves [...]

I’m sure there will be a fair amount of tweaking going on [...]

This was from my trip to New York over New Year’s, 2002/2003. I took a circle cruise around the island and [...]

Just taking a moment to plug George’s site:

Every time I go back to his site, he’s added more photos and made improvements.
This is the third time we’ve attempted to meet since last year, when George, his wife Lana, and I started posting in the Vancouver group on Orkut.com, but something’s always come up. Lana and [...]

Vancouver is one of those cities where the only constant is change.
THREE free city dailies started up in the first few months of 2005, which I haven’t gotten around to looking at yet. Jury’s out on how long they’ll last.
In the first day [...]
