I’ve started playing with Flickr Groups. Groups are kind of like sets—the difference being a group is a set with many participants. Groups allow common tagging and a common place to post images that you have in your main photostream and in your sets. Groups are another way to cross post your content. They allow for forum-like discussions and comments.

I’ve created a few groups (LOTS of sets) and joined a few. What I noticed immediately was that my views increased pretty significantly in a short period of time. I think I will start listing my web address as a keyword on every image that I post and see if that starts an increase in traffic to this blog.

I was driving to pick up my daughter from daycare today doing what I always do--listening to NPR. Most of the new was pretty depressing.

There was an article on the detainees at Guantanamo Bay--tapes have been released via the freedom of information act. Very depressing stuff.

There was, however, one little gem. Tom Waits has released a THREE CD album called "Orphans". Apparently it has old songs, new songs, and covers. The interview was wonderful with Tom. His usual strange quips like "Don't feed the dolphins" popped out here and there. It had me pretty much enthralled.
