And giving them a good sniff. Otherwise she might not be able to tell who is who.

Also, the owners say she's a purebred Golden Retriever, but her coat is so short... I've never seen one with a coat so short. Anyone else? Also, she looks and acts Golden, so I don't really doubt them, but sheesh, I was just very surprised.

Flickr Interestingness

This post will eventually be at axis, but my nameservers are moving (without my permission, I might add), so I can't post or read or do anything... grumble.

And this is photo-ish, so here it is for now.

In the woods
by Kevin Day.

A great new way of exploring "interesting" photos on flickr is by their, um, interestingness (oh, someone, somewhere, is going to end up having fun with that awful word and soon... maybe it will be me):

Flickr: Explore interesting photos around Flickr: "There are lots of things that make a photo 'interesting' (or not) in the Flickr. Where the clickthroughs are coming from; who comments on it and when; who marks it as a favorite; its tags and many more things which are constantly changing. Interestingness changes over time, as more and more fantastic photos and stories are added to Flickr."

Just a peek into the last 24 hours tells you that Interestingness actually is interesting. Um. Ness.

Whatever. Go see for yourself here.
