DSCN8935.JPG I’m just toying with the Flock browser that incorporates things like Flickr media streams, social account tools for Flickr, Photobucket, YouTube, blogs of all sorts, del.icio.us, etc. Even has a posting client for WordPress and the like.

I hate kneading, partly because I got confused between wedging clay and kneading bread; one you want to put air in, one you want to get air out. Art school broke me for bread making. Enter [...]
