5. Take the Flickr tour.
or try this Flickr Tutorial from Mediamazine
I am already familiar with Flickr, at least for viewing images. I looked at the tour briefly, and I think I will check out the tutorial in the hopes of finding interesting uses for Flickr. That’s the really cool thing about Web 2.0 – it’s not just about using new websites and online applications, etc.
It’s more about finding interesting ways to use a personalized set of apps/sites together in synergy in order to create a vastly more useful (and entertaining) internet experience…
6. Blog about your Flickr experience and an interesting image you found.
I went looking for LOL Cats and I found one:
If you are not familiar with LOLCat phenomenon in general, you need to check out the whole concept via the I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER? blog…
Meanwhile, I ended up staying up into the wee hours image editing, uploading, and organizing a set of photos of my grandparents’ house (which no longer exists…) It is a public set of photos, which you can check out here, if you are so inclined…
That is all. I’m going to bed.

Dang! I could feel the joyous laffter welling up inside after checking out the cats & other animals.
How come: “SPQR” — I seen that on manhole covers in Rome.
Ta!

SPQR is a Latin abbreviation for Senatus Populusque Romanus – The Senate and People of Rome… It went on nearly everything the Romans did (as the State in its official capacity, not individual Romans necessarily…)
I chose it as I am a History major and I love that kind of stuff…
