2007 in pictures
Cover-flow style, courtesy of MooFlow tools. The photos were compiled from Flickr.
I was attempting to automate the process ala-fd’s Flickr toys, what with the Flickr API’s fantastic use of JSON responses (no need for server-side nor cross-site xHTTP requests). Alas, my days were packed. But I’m getting the hang of it. I’m relearning JavaScript [...]
