Kissing Booth

After years of resisting, I've finally joined Flickr and started uploading photos there.

I'm not sure how much duplication there will be between my Flickr photostream and what I post here. This photo, shot a couple of days after Valentine's Day in Red Bank, is also up on Flickr, but there are some other photos there as well that I haven't posted here.

I think this is all part of feeling a need to more fully explore the "social software" sites out there. Generally, I like doing things on my own; I wrote my own content management system to run There Is No Cat and Geneablogy rather than adopting something off the shelf, for example. I like learning how to do this stuff. The social software sites are less amenable to self-implementation, though. I have very mixed feelings about giving up control over my own content, over its presentation, over relying on a third party, and over provding the requested information to a behemoth like Yahoo! So this is an experiment for now, I think.

What do you mean there is no cat?

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."

- Albert Einstein, explaining radio
