Me on Today is My Gift To You!
Today is My Gift To You today features one of the photos I submitted to Today FM! Thanks James! I took the picture just outside my home after I heard that Mairead on the show liked pictures of flowers.
I must put the rest of the Us photos online soon. Stay tuned!
Photo Friday: Darkness
I entered the Photo Friday ‘Darkness’ competition a few days ago with my Flight Over Water photo from a few days ago.
Hope I get a couple of votes but some of the competing photos are very good!
FAlbum – WordPress Flickr Plugin
Wow! I’m impressed! FAlbum is a Flickr plugin for WordPress. It’s simple to install and configure, except make sure you put the rewrite rules above any WP ones, especially if you’re using WP 1.6!
It displays your Flickr albums, most recent photos, and lots of other pretty stuff, all inside your blog!
There’s a longer feature list above, and a few demo pages. This is definitely one project I’m going to keep an eye on for the future!
Later… The FAlbum plugin is now running on my new photography site In Photos displaying all my Flickr photos in a nice album!

Defy Gravity
This is my first time searching Google Video and I came across this cool Skateboarders In Cork video while searching for “Ireland”. I recognise some of the lads, and it was shot on location in Emmet Square (photo above was shot there), UCC, CIT (I think), South Mall, over near the Victoria Hospital and elsewhere. Very nice work.

So, the Sad Old Tosser Matt held an exciting competition recently to find out who has the most types of potato at one sitting!
