Watching Twitter tonight has taught me one thing, Phillies fans are a bunch of whiny dicks. But it's ok, every tank needs a bottom feeder.

And I thought I wanted to hug Johan last week. I think I'm officially in love.

Actually, a Flickr (sic) is one of the first movies ever made for mass consumption. Because the state of the art hadn't reached 20 frames per second yet (the minimum needed to overcome flashes of light between each frame), people would see those flashes of blank light within the movie. Hence, the 'ancient' remarks by movie goers saying things like. "We just came back from the Flicks" or "Did you see the latest Flicker that Charlie Chaplin just made?"
( BTW, I do know the present use of Flickr. I just thought it'd be fun to mix a little video history in the blog. ;->

Yes, which is exactly why the name Flickr never made sense for site that had still images only.
