My friend Billy Brown started quite a little trend on Vimeo with his clip "me right now".

As I'm posting this there have been 41 other clips tagged with "me right now" in the past 5 days.

Here's my first: click

I'd never really used Flickr's slideshow feature until today. I always dismissed it, assuming I knew what it was all about. But after actually using it, I had a broader thought about websites.

The slideshow incorporates arrow key functionality, so you can just flip through a person's collection of photos really quickly without having to focus on where you need to click to see the next photo. More websites should work like this. The paginated model currently in place is old and needs to be improved.

Before advertising executives can sign off on any commercials that roll before internet videos, I think they should be forced by law to sit down and watch them 200 times in a row.

Spectacular.
