I was browsing my iTunes today, looking for some hidden gems which might buried deep in the under explored corners of my library.

Like many long time flickr users, I was upset yesterday afternoon when I received a mail from flickr saying my old login is gone (though to be fair, the accounts themselves are untouched) , and I now have to use a Yahoo account to login to the site…. I hate having to explain how to access a new site or service to someone, or worse yet, ask them to sign up for an account just to view something I’ve posted.Here are the services that I’ll be evaluating in the coming weeks: flickr (I know it well, and except for the Yahoo meddling, love it)23fotkizoomr (this one seems to have the largest and most supportive user base of the flickr alternatives)smugmugI may very well decide that after all this to just suck it up, the Yahoo login isn’t as painful as I thought it would be, or that the other services just don’t offer what I need in a way that I’m comfortable with. I will certainly be paying for at least one of these services in the coming months to support my photo addiction hobby, I just don’t know which.Of course, I welcome any suggestions based on your experiences with these or other services.

One of my favorite TV shows ever to come out of Great Britain was called the “Peep Show”.

It seems that others have paid attention to the brilliant pairing these two make while in character.

The Seattle times interviews Jeff “the dude” Dowd, the real person who inspired the Coen brothers movie “The Big Lewbowsi” - one of my all time favorites.
