#5 flickr, #6 mashups

Had a play with flickr yesterday - see http://www.flickr.com/photos/14027247@N06/

I put some photos from my British trip last year up that I thought people might find interesting. Innerpeffray library is Scotland's oldest free lending library. It has a ledger of borrowers names and occupations dating from 1700? I think, and thus is of continuing interest to social anthropologists. Plus lots of gorgeous antique books!

Also had a play with mashups - again, see my flickr site. My fave is the Warholiser - turning photos into art. That is, art that I would actually consider displaying in my home. Putting your own wedding photo up in the house seems a bit embarrassing, but the Warholiser makes me unrecognisable - yay!

Speaking of which, is anyone else but me slightly uncomfortable with the idea of posting their personal details on the web? I know it's the done thing by many folks these days, and I don't mind my library colleagues knowing it's me talking, but it gives me pause.
