here's a broadcast to all of those livejournalers who may or may not follow my blog.

i've syndicated my flickr photostream so that you can add it to your friends list ~ how very exciting.

http://www.livejournal.com/users/striatic_photos/ is the page you go to, then simply add it to your friends list from there and voila, some photos from me on your friends page each day.

do the wonders ever cease?

 "wanna join?"

one of the things about flickr is that the seasonal changes are thrust upon you, even if you are geographically forunate/unfortunate.

so here's the iced over park bench that mocks us:

"you aren't going to be sitting on me for another 3 months."

and it is a flat picture too. i like flat pictures these days, if you didn't know.

"at speed on the bike. i like that my keychain camera has no screen, so i am not tempted to take my eyes off the road when i do stuff like this.

you see, i really should have brought gloves .. my hands were really cold.

i was otherwise warm, however.
"

i've been biking around toronto a lot recently. i like it, even though i wish i had started in the warmer months.

i went down to the Port of Toronto for the first time and it was very interesting. close by and i didn't feel like i was in the city anymore.

here's a set of photos from my bike ride.

""In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields."

John McCrae ~ "In Flanders Fields"

very interesting ... { Nov. 11th, 2004|09:31 am }
the folks over at flickr seem to be working on some means of algoritmically determining which images are the most interesting.

i sure hope they also  attempt to determine the 100 least interesting images too.

Squared Circle { Oct. 31st, 2004|04:30 pm }
a little while ago i  started up a flickr group called squared circle. i wrote up some ground rules,  invited all my friends and waited. one flickr blog post and 472+ photos later, i'm writing this blog post.

it has been very interesting to see the response that a little idea can generate. after the first 200 images, i worte a forum post to serve as a retrospective of some of the best images submitted so far.

here's a sampling:
