No school, no work, nothing. So, I spent the day working on getting caught up on some of my photographic backlog. I started by processing a set of shots of Club V that I'd been asked to take, then dove back into the vacation photos from this summer. Lots of photos of the Pana'ewa Rainforest Zoo just outside of Hilo (one of which ended up being my 11,000th photo uploaded to Flickr!), plus some more snorkeling. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2007\/12\/13\/finally-more-photos\/\">&#x27a1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>2006<\/strong><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2006\/12\/13\/happy-holidays-from-me-prairieand-flickr\/\">Happy Holidays from Me, Prairie&#8230;and Flickr<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">A bit of silliness on Flickr these days: if you add a note that says simply 'ho ho ho hat' to a photo, Flickr will add a Santa hat to the photo where the note is placed. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2006\/12\/13\/happy-holidays-from-me-prairieand-flickr\/\">&#x27a1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2006\/12\/13\/other-life-updates\/\">Other Life Updates<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">It was pointed out to me by Casey when I ran into him, Jen, and their daughter on the bus yesterday as I was heading home from school that, with the dearth of posts here lately, I've been letting down those (poor, sad) souls who depend on my rambling here to live vicariously through me.
