Really hope this is nay-saying… I have 3 Flickr accounts, don’t relish moving them all to… where? Picasa Web Albums? Meh. This is the story of a wonderful idea. Something that had never been done before, a moment of change that shaped the Internet we know today. This is the story of Flickr. And how Yahoo bought it and murdered it and screwed itself out of relevance along the way. via How Yahoo Killed Flickr and Lost the Internet

Every bit of evidence indicates that if he were President, the Far Right would lead Romney around by a ring in his nose. Just last week, we saw it clearly on display. It didn’t take but two weeks for the Far Right to force the Romney campaign to sever its ties with openly gay Richard Grinnell, who it had hired as its foreign policy spokesman. The campaign itself argued that it had begged Grinnell to stay. But right wing talk show host Brian…

There’s a lot going on in the family (can’t blog about that) and there’s a lot going on at Holy Moly (hey, Faddah Manny is our vicar now!). My husband David had a little contretemps with a local streetlamp the other day while riding his bike, and now sports a nifty scrape on one of his legs.

David’s out on a training ride for the American Diabetes Association “Tour de Cure” today. He’s committed to riding 35 miles on June 10th at the ride event in Naperville, and some of us will be volunteering that day, too. After that, we’ll be celebrating his parents’ 50th wedding anniversary (David expects to be pretty wiped out). As David has diabetes (very well controlled by diet and exercise) he’s entitled to wear a red jersey on ride day. He’ll also be riding in honor of other family members who have diabetes. Actually, David’s riding with some other team members who…
