RADdendum to the AWK/TLASILA post: Graphical/gadgetal readers, you gotta check out this little
RETRIEVR program linked to on the weirdly straightforward
To Live and Shave in LA blog. It's kind of a prototype or something, but it allows you to search Flickr (or at least a selection of Flickr images) by DRAWING what you're looking for! Just check it out OK?
Also, this TLASILA post on bird calls, '37 Unsigned Species: Attention Troubleman!' is kind of exhausting yet somewhat informative/clever.
