Some Flickr Favorites
From time to time, I find some great photos on Flickr, and I mark them as “favorites.” But for whom? Well, I’m going to post a few of my favorite favorites. I hope you enjoy them too.

Oh Yeah!

That Kool-Aid guy, who does he think he is? Just smashing through walls with no afterthought? Does he realize the mess that will need to be cleaned after his fat ass leaves?
I’ve had Kool-Aid, and while it’s generally pretty tasty – especially the purple – I’m not sure it’s worth [...]
Halfway Homemade Chicken Soup & Grilled Cheese
Halfway Homemade Chicken Soup and Grilled Cheese, originally uploaded by firsttubedotcom.
“Halfway Homemade chicken soup” starts with a mirepois. Then you add pre-made chicken broth and two leg quarters of a chicken and egg noodles. The grilled cheese is hand wrapped fresh mozzarella and peasant bread lightly brushed with grapeseed oil griddled until golden brown. A [...]
Fooooooood
I consider myself a bit of an amateur chef, as some of you know, and although it’s really just a hobby, a year or so ago I started taking pictures of some of my favorite dishes. I have a few things I still need to capture, but many I’ve preserved for posterity. Either [...]
A Review of Online Photo Services
Some time ago, I switched to Google’s Picasa Web Albums online photo management software. Although it’s simple to use, Picasa Web has been missing too many features for too long, and after Google locked me out of their software for a few days due to a bug of some sort, and their iPhoto plug-in [...]
Funny: Flickr Parse Error
Everyone makes mistakes, even the good people at Yahoo!/Flickr. I’ve done this on OSNews – it’s broken for 20 seconds, but you still get emails and IMs from users. Many PHP functions take two arguments — a string an an array — and it’s tough to remember which comes first, because sometimes it’s the [...]
More About Picasa Web Albums
Forgive me if this sounds especially arrogant or offends anyone, but I think I should be asked to join Google as the project lead for Picasa Web Albums, because I am really let down by what exists today and I think that I might be able to write something better myself with a week’s worth [...]
Flickr Feeds
Who knew that Flickr supported so many types of feeds? RSS, RDF, Atom, SQL, PHP, Serialized PHP, YAML, CSV, JSON, CDF… that’s incredible.
Review: Picasaweb vs. Flickr
Now that I’ve successfully used most of the features on both flickr.com and Picasaweb, I decided I would write a short review of the two services. The need for online photo storage is certainly a very real one, and different services have different objectives. Here’s a short breakdown.

Picasaweb goes Gold …well, for me at least
I’ve gone ahead and transitioned my photos from flickr to PicasaWeb. Picasaweb is simply so much easier to navigate. Yes, it’s true, there’s no easy way to include a photo in multiple albums. Yes, this is completely anti-tag-based-systems and therefore contrary to everything I preach about Gmail, but the fact is that [...]
