whirly feet

Mine was, inexplicably, or ironically, one of my feet. I took it in San Diego where I was attending O’Reilly’s ETech conference in 2005. Flickr was quite the topic of conversation.

This was back in the era where your account/profile had to be approved before you could actually post visible photos. Fortunately one of the Flickr dudes was a few rows back from me in the main hall and was on the IRC backchannel and sorted it out for me right quick.

In the vein of the recent meme of “what was your first Twitter tweet?”–what was your first Flickr post?

    My first flickr photo was a shot of our front yard during the storm in 2005 that knocked out our electricity for a few hours.
