I have a Flickr account.

July 15th, 2008

So I found this cool new photo sharing service called “Flicker”, except without the “e” so it’s “Flickr”. I suppose “Flicker” was taken already. If it stores photos, shouldn’t it be called “Shuttr” or something, instead?

Anyway, the URL to my Flickr account is http://www.flickr.com/photos/28643143@N07/. I guess Flickr is too cool to give me flickr.com/buckwilson.

Anyhow, subscribe to it, bookmark it, do whatever you kids are doing these days to keep updated on it.

I’m trying to be more “transparent” with what I do with my time. Tweeting, blogging, Flicking (Flickring? Flickering?), if it’s social, I’ll try it. I’m just a sucker that way.

To be honest I’m just trying to increase my visibility among those who might care. I think I’m a decent enough designer, but the only way I’ll grow is if I connect with people who I view as “holy cow way better than me”. So anyway, if you’re a superstar designer person and you’re reading this, will you be my friend? Heck, if you’re a mediocre design person, you can be my friend, too! We can hang out and watch cartoons and eat Cap’n Crunch.

Oh, and Flickr called me a “Batch”. I thought that was pretty rude.


I’m pretty sure they meant to put “SAVE THIS, BATCH!”.

Buck, you rock. I added your flickr feed to http://whoisi.com/p/1427
Whoisi is one of my favorite new sites. That and identi.ca (open source twitter). I’m conversating with some cool people there, if you’d like to join us. Also, you’re inspiring me to do more transparent in blogging/micro-bloggin as well. So, keep it up :)

Both of those sites seem really cool. Whoisi already knows me; that is kind of crazy did you put that stufd there?

Either way I love the concept and will add all my junk to it.

I’ll sign up for an identi.ca account today so I can get in on all the fun there, too. Keep an eye out for a follow (or whatever it is called there)

I like Cap’n Crunch. It hurts my mouth.

I like your style and appreciate your balance of formality and wittiness. Keep going out of your way to be around people you want to be like. Very, very wise. Just make sure your Cap’n Crunch doesn’t get in the way. Maybe superstar designers won’t befriend those who eat Cap’n Crunch. I don’t know because I’m not one, but keep your head up. At least you’re making time to pursue your goal.

Thank you very much for the kind comments! It’s nice to hear from people who actually enjoy my writing.

I… I’m not sure I’m prepared to give up Cap’n Crunch, though. Hopefully I’ll never be forced to make that decision.
