Spelling with Flicker
OK ... these little "doodads" that make up Thing #5 of the "18 Things" are all cute. But practical? Dunno.
Anyway, if my old band ever plays together again at least I'll have a place to go to fetch images for a potential flier. But wait ...
Does that, then, make this doodad practical in some way? Hmm ...

When the Beatles and the Monkees Jammed
I found this great photo on Flickr. A Beatle and a Monkee. It's pretty well-known that Micky and Paul got along well, as did Mike and John ... but I've never seen a shot of these two before this one by John McNab. The caption claims that George is trying to convince Ringo (off camera) to let Micky Dolenz use his drum kit. Cool!
Anyway, it only took one round of putting "Monkees" as a search term into Flickr. I'll have to check with a friend (and PWPL patron) who is working on an update to his Monkees book to find out if he has ever seen this one.
Oh, yeah ... I guess this is kinda "THING 4".

Reading the thing about the 2nd thing ...
OK, I did that. Interesting material. I posted a comment. No sense in being redundant, so um ... it's there ...
Right.
Right.
Subscribing to RSS Feeds ... Again
OK, so I've subscribed to a few RSS feeds from Blogs like Rolling Stone, Mojo, etc. These are sites for magazines that I use from day-to-day at work to select CDs for the collection. Some other sites, like "Crooners Corner" keep me up-to-date on reissues, and also let me check out some vintage music that may have slipped by me "back in the day". Fun stuff.
I add the "again" because I was doing RSS feeds for a while and found it got out of hand. Tooooo much information. We'll see how it goes this time, LOL!!

18 Things That Flash?
Hmm ... a very 60s-ish title for a program?!?
Oh, wait, it's "18 Things IN a Flash"! OK, I get it. We're going to be exploring the exciting virtual landscape, and looking into some of the new tools that can be found here that apply to the wonderful world of information dissemination. Yeah. That works. And so, here is my blog. Thing numero uno.
I now have an "avatar". Funny, but that word used to be reserved for Hindu deities, like Vishnu. Times sho' 'nuf do change, don't they! If I could have made my Avatar dude truer to form I would have, but they had no tabs for adding "Some Extra Chunk", "Tail Length" or "Facial Hair Stylings". The clean cut hippie lookin' dude with the Greek fisherman's cap (OK, at least I own one of those) will have to do.
Well ... more as the "things" happen!
Peace,
Tony
