Update:I added a screenshot I took yesterday.

1. I have a nearly edetic memory about phone numbers that I’ve called more than twice. Over … well a long time since high school, I can still remember the phone numbers of most of my friends and girlfriends that lasted over a week. I even remembered a number of a buddy that I had called only once six years later – he was freaked.
2. Licorice, fennel, anise … anything that smells like black licorice will make me puke. It’s a bad memory from when I was a little kid getting 2-3 migraines a week, and needing Paragoric to get sick (it was the only way to make the migraines subside).
3. I’m a Cowboys fan in a Philadelphia Eagles stronghold. But I grew up down the road from Randy White, a Hall of Famer, when I was a kid. We met him before the 1977 season, and I followed the Cowboys throughout the year and their Super Bowl win over the Broncos – in which Randy was the co-MVP. It sealed my fate.
4. I have a nearly inexhaustible appetite for trivia, and retain the oddest facts. My wife discovered the rule for me remembering these trivial items – if it has absolutely no real bearing in my life, I’ll remember it forever.. However, I can’t seem to remember to turn off the lights 15 seconds after being asked to. Go figure.
5. I’ve broken every finger on my right hand, and every toe on my right foot. I was not in a car accident, and I don’t play street hockey with a concrete ball. I’m a klutz … and well, that wall deserved it.
6. If I think of a food item that I want, nothing short of dedicated unconsciousness will stop it short of actually getting it. I’ve been known to keep a craving for Vietnamese for a week, Chicken Satay for a fortnight and Hooter’s wings for months at a time. It drives my wife nuts – but at least she gives in now, because it’s just easier that way.

I have no clue who I’m going to tag for this, because to be honest most of the bloggers I know will ignore it. Hmmm… how about Shep, Bill, Dave, and Shari?

• New Header Image
• Fix the ‘Related Entry’ piece
• Add SlideShowPro galleries
• Figure out how to get JS Lightbox to work correctly
• some formatting tweaks

I can’t even begin to say when it will happen – but hopefully a lot sooner than my last update.

Wow, that worked a lot easier than I expected – I’m up and running again in only 2 hours…

The article is part of a series they are doing on various ‘passions’ – hobbies and enthusiams that people have. In this case, it is a part of the segment Passions – Birding, about how birders go about their hobby and I assume how it is a growing activity. The part that I was involved with was a focus on Flickr, particularly the one group that I help administer Field Guide: Birds of the World. In the article which is posted, I get quoted and they used one of my pictures – I don’t know yet whether I’ll be involved in the broadcast itself.

Either way, it’s pretty cool to have someone to ask me about my birding, and have some of my pictures reach an audience outside of the Flickr community. I’ll be interested to hear the podcast (although I’ve heard some negatives already about the host).

update: It’s back, but here’s what you got if you went earlier tonight.
