Flickr-Proof Yourself

by Tom Conlon on April 27, 2007 at 07:00 AM


How often does this happen to you? You wake up after a long night of hard, hard drinking. Head hurts, you smell like a landfill and the guy from 'Memento' could do a better job than you of remembering what happened last night.

You show up to work, check e-mail and find that a snap-happy friend has gone ahead and posted embarrassing -- and quite possibly criminal -- pictures of last night's antics onto one of those photo-sharing sites, such as Flickr, Kodak EasyShare Gallery or Snapfish.

Take back the night!

FlickrBlockers are a pair of gag glasses mounted with one of those big black bars that covers your eyes, which protects your anonymity and helps avoid predicaments like this one that you find yourself in all too often. The glasses (which you can actually see through) sell for $9.99 a pop, plus another $2 for shipping.
