Hmm…I took a look at my server logs, and it appears that someone’s been tracking me down. Well, hi someone, whoever you are. :::waving:::

Meanwhile, try the Postmaster’s Challenge!

Maybe taking up photography as a hobby wasn’t a good idea.

Photos Sold

Kewl. I was contacted by a magazine for permission to publish some of my Flickr photos. I said sure, provided a little information about each photo and kind of forgot about it.

Today they contacted me to tell me they’d be sending a check for $500 for 4 of the photos they are going to publish.

Fortune smiles upon the dysfunctionals. I’m a happy guy. And my Flickr pics are up to 250,000 hits, by the way.

I can use the good news. This week has been a horrible one at work. We had the holiday, which means a ton of mail waiting for us on the day after the holiday. We ended up on a national list of screwups. And I ended up in the middle of a procedural error on the part of another department.

$500. $500. That’s going to be my mantra today.

You thought diamonds were forever? Forget it, they get lost or stolen. However, I’m starting to think the Internet is forever.

In a moment of hubris, I thought I’d Google myself. I’ll be darned if I didn’t show up in a Pinnacle Software text file from 1994. You do the math.

 I did find myself in a print publication from 1978 or 1979. It’s from the Ghost Rider comic book. Found this on an online archived bit torrent.

Thought I’d share with you my all-time top ten viewed photos on Flickr as of today. If you can’t see a photo, you may need to log into Flickr, go to http://www.flickr.com/account/prefs/safesearch/?from=privacy, and turn your SafeSearch off. Some of these pictures have been flagged as Moderate or Restricted.
