When did Flickr become the eBay of the photo world? You can literally type in a phrase for anything and get pictures back. For example... marshmellow aliens. The search isn't perfect, thought: hamburger trees doesn't return quite what I imagined in my mind, although the fourth result is pretty promising!

Feeling both brazen and bold (sorry, couldn't resist the alliteration, even if it's repetitive!), I gave Flickr one last gauntlet: roy kim's girlfriend. The search results were quite satisfying. The threat of SkyNet is averted (for now).

. . .

Something a little more serious: Chasing the Chinese Dream: "For a growing number of the world's emigrants, China -- not the United States -- is the land where opportunities are endless, individual enterprise is rewarded and tolerance is universal."

The times, they are a'changin'.
