Pictures from someone else on Flickr of flowers at the campus of the University of Kansas. Check out all the KU Photos. Compare the pictures of flowers to mine.

Very happy to see the Spurs step it up and win in the 4th quarter against the Rockets. I'm just surprised they managed to do it with Tony Parker suddenly deciding he's a jump-shooting point guard. I don't think he tried to penetrate even once all game. I can't figure out why, and I have...

I don't know why I didnt notice before, but Flickr has a very cool "Notes" feature that lets you associate a note with a section of your photograph. This picture is the first I've used the feature on. Plus I've got a comment partially describing the interesting situation.Ryan has an even better example of using...

I just purchased a Flickr Pro account for two years. After I started to put in all the pictures I currently have here on the site, and noticing the limitations on free accounts, I decided to go ahead and shell out the money. It's a great product, and I don't mind paying for it at...

"Links...of...Interest!"I've finally decided to use Bloglines handy feature, the Clip Blog. I'll put all the interesting posts I find, but that I don't have anything interesting to actually say there. I won't bother to put a synopsis, or anything, so you'll just have to trust my judgment that the posts are worth reading. By the...

Scoble supports the Microsoft vision that so-called "Smart Clients" are the future, instead of web-apps. He says:Why? Well, it isn't hard to see how an app that runs locally would be able to make users more productive.Beware phrases like "it isn't hard to see" or "obviously". All it really means is "I'm not going to...

Amusing blog post from a Google employee who was doing laundry at work, when Colin Powell, who was touring the site, came in. He discussed her laundry techniques, and then she got to explain her job, UI Design to him. Talk about a unique experience!

I'm going to start using the political blog not just for partisan politics (which it mostly was during the Presidential election campaign), but for anything on matters pertaining to government, law, and politics.Eugene Volokh on "Punishing Monsters". Eugene wrote an earlier post expressing support for using punishment that many would deem cruel in extreme cases,...

Wow. So that's it. That's the rediculously anti-climactic ending to the careers of 4 Kansas Seniors who have had so much post-season success in the past.Bucknell played terrific basketball. I'd say they have a very good shot against Wisconsin. However, Kansas played plain-out awful. Langford was hurt; he just couldn't do the things he normally...

March Madness goes to market. The most interesting article about NCAA tournament predictions I've seen. Found via A Constrained Vision and from Yoco.When the opening bell sounds at the stock and commodities exchanges around the country tomorrow morning, the traders will be buying and selling the usual products -- crude oil, gold, Treasuries, the S&P...

Go read a great article on Shawn Marion of the Phoenix Suns, and Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs. Or the Matrix and The Sickness.

Today's "Ask Yahoo!" has successfully made me feel old, at age 23. Although, to be fair, my memory of the answer comes after the answer given. To me, the "B" drive was almost always the 5 1/2" floppy drive. I'm kind of surprised that wasn't mentioned in the answer.
