Another Birthday

Today is the sixth birthday of my blog. For your enjoyment, I’ve posted two appropriate pictures. One depicts a Hot Wheels® themed cake and the other is a coloring page, courtesy of "Lil’ Fingers," that you can print off and fill in with whatever color(s) you want. I’d recommend using some yellow.

Something I hope to accomplish during my current break from school is to get my Flickr photo page populated with pictures I’ve taken over the last two years or so. That’s right, I’m now placing my photos on Flickr. Thanks to Yahoo taking the site over and merging it into its family of services, getting an account set up there back in October was quick and easy. There were some problems that I saw with Flickr about a year or so ago when I was looking around for a good place to store and share my photos online, but, for the most part, they all seem to have subsided when I took another look at the site in October, so that's why I decided to host my photos there.

As I type this, I have a little over 100 photos on Flickr, but only two "sets" – one from my trip to see the Canadian Pacific Railway's Holiday Train last week in west-central Minnesota and another from an extensive mini-vacation in northeastern North Dakota in October. Hopefully, within the next week or two, I will have placed a couple hundred more photos into my account. I don’t believe any of the photos will be “new,” or ones that I haven’t yet shared here on the blog, but I just thought I’d let you know the address of the website (http://www.flickr.com/photos/mwahlsten) where you’ll be able to view all of my photos in the foreseeable future.
