Introducing the Daily Zeitgeist
filed under: PicturesYou no longer have an excuse to be bored online.
Through BoingBoing (which really should soon get a "P'net must-read" tag - I read it several times a day and recommend it highly), which pointed the way to Mind Hacks (a website and also a cool-looking book I will soon buy and report back on), comes the Flickr "Daily Zeitgeist," which runs an ever-changing mosaic of teeny thumbnails from the public pictures kept on people's Flickr (photo sharing) account. I've added the DZ near the bottom of my links (right side of the page), but here it is for a trial run:
I am almost endlessly fascinated by the mundane details of other people's lives (hence my relentless blogging of the most mundane details of mine), so the ability to simply click on any interesting-looking teeny tiny thumbnail image and look at that person's whole online photo album - parties, trips, friends, art shots, etc. - is online time-wasting NIRVANA.
