So, this morning I dropped Frisket off at Monstermutt and heading into Manhattan. My goal was to pick up a computer which I'd bought way back in November and which has been in for “repairs” since early December. On the way to the computer place (Madison Ave Computers) I saw a bike messenger riding south on Madsion take a quick turn onto 30th. As he rode through the turn he dropped his phone or walkie-talkie. At the same time, the light changed and traffic rushed across the intersection. I assumed I was going to see what happens when a phone meets a Michelin but no, a delivery truck stopped before riding over the phone. As horns honked, the cyclist ran back and retrieved the phone from under the van.

What if we could tag not just photos, but also other tags? We could start to build a tagweb. When a tagweb is created from your tags, that tagweb works perfectly within the realm of what makes sense to you. The reason nobody came up with this before Flickr was because we didn't have Flickr as a visible reference point. You can't just imagine something out of the blue without first thinking about related things.

But to recoup this money and lost interest for the Trust Fund, the Republicans will issue the new privatization tax, which will eliminate benefits by up to 70 percent or more.
