idea time

y'know what i'd like to see? i'd like to see a web app that helps you keep track of when the last time you contacted your friends was... basically it would list your friends and you'd be able to put in the date you last contact then and it would be sorted by oldest first so that you'd know which friendship has gone the longest without 'maintenance'...

not because keeping in touch with people is a chore or anything, but just because it's hard to monitor so many connections to make sure the lines of communication haven't gone dark for too long...

omg flickr is SLOW!

holy crap, i can't believe how slow flickr is... it just took me an hour and a half of fighting with flickr to get urls for the 2 photos from the last post... i actually ate my entire dinner in the time it took to render a single page... that's unusably slow... how do people manage to put up with that? and then there are the many, many links which don't actually do anything unless you copy and paste the link location into the location bar of the browser...

ugg...

do it yourself

y'know, when i see a product like this credit card sized fold away camera tripod i think to myself: self, why would anyone pay good money for what they could make with their own two hands out of a cereal box?...

and then i made my own (not quite as fancy) version out of a cereal box...


and just like the original, it folds up to the size of a credit card so you can put it in your wallet...
that said, with that big chunk taken out of the middle of it, it also fits in the belt loop of the soft case my camera came with so i don't have to clutter my wallet...
