Here’s a few photos of the little bit of “snow” we have had here in Louisville. It’s all pretty much melted away already, FYI!
(Imho, Louisville isn’t south enough for me. I could really get used to summer weather all year long, but it seems such is not possible here 
)
Free Flickr Pro for Rogers users
I somehow missed reading this email in my old @rogers.com email address which I don’t really check these days:
As part of your Rogers Yahoo! service, you’ll get access to Flickr Pro at no additional cost. With Flickr Pro, you’ll get unlimited photo storage, unlimited photo albums and permanent high-resolution archiving (valued at $24.95 U.S. per year).

Under the lordship of Jesus Christ, the mission of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary is to be totally committed to the Bible as the Word of God, to the Great Commission as our mandate, and to be a servant of the churches of the Southern Baptist Convention by training, educating, and preparing ministers of the gospel for more faithful service.
Thus, today’s Phriday Photos features some pics I’ve taken here at Southern Seminary

E. M. Bounds once said, “There is no arriving at a high state of grace without much praying, and no staying in those high altitudes without great praying.”
There’s a part of my life I was reminded of earlier tonight that I really need to pray about. Theology is as serious as anything else in life, but this, makes life even more serious than I think it needs to be. However, there is a gravity to this that last a lifetime, so I suppose the seriousness of this matter is appropriate. Nevertheless, I need to pray more — a lot more. Especially for grace, that high state of grace; the undeserved favor from the Lord kind. The God’s-riches-at-Christ’s-expense kind.
On that note, I leave you with some photos from Southern Seminary here in Louisville, Kentucky:

Well, well… this is it. Thank you for loving me — I will miss you all dearly
Why Flickr is the best
This is a shameless plug for Flickr. (No, they are not paying me for this.)
May I be honest with you? If you share your photos online and you’re NOT using Flickr — you’re not kool! Ok, I can forgive you if you’re using the Flickr wannabe Zooomr, or overpriced pro services from SmugMug or PhanFare…but other than that, I must be blunt — you suck =D (Of course, you know I’m just joking. Unless I really know you, then I cannot justifiably say you suck LOL) From my research of the photo sharing services that are available, Flickr is the best of them all! After all, Flickr is the award winning photo sharing community that Time Magazine called “completely addictive”
Why? One word: community.
It is the buzz word of our times, especially in today’s postmodern emerging generation where we want church and our experience of the Christian faith to be genuine and missional. Flickr is so popular because it focuses its photo sharing on sharing with the world-wide community of photographers — you don’t just post your photos online to share with your friends, but you share your hard work with like-minded photographers around the world. This provides the opportunity for mutual edification — building each other up, encouraging one another, critiquing each other’s photos, giving constructive criticism where appropriate.
How does Flickr do this? I could think of 3 ways.
- Blogging
- Groups (photo Pools, discussions)
- Commenting & Favorite’ing
- Explore
1. Blogging
With Flickr, it’s very easy to share your photos on your blog — especially since Flickr automatically creates different sizes of each photo you upload! So, if you have a domain for a photoblog, you can even save on webhosting space and bandwidth by having your Flickr photos shared there!
2. Groups
There are many groups on Flickr, created by users on just about any conceivable topic/idea (doesn’t even need to be about photography). Here you can discuss each others photos, and “Send To” the group’s Pool so you can see each other’s photos! It’s an easy way to collaborate and share photos from an event.
3. Commenting & Favoriting
How can you sense a community unless you have conversations? Along with discussions in Flickr Groups, Flickr gives you the ability to Comment and Favorite on photos you like (or dislike). It’s great way to help each other grow as photographers and tell each other what we really think of their still captures!
4. Explore (Interestingness)
Explore is unlike anything else I have ever seen on any other photo sharing service. If you’re ever bored, go to the Explore page. Flickr has a feature (algorithm really) called “Interestingness” that ranks photos upload according to where the clickthroughs are coming from; who comments on it and when; who marks it as a favorite; its tags; etc. It’s all done by the Flickr servers, so that everyday you visit Explore, you can see the most interesting photos on Flickr! How kool is that =D
Flickr certainly has many areas of its service which it can improve on. It’s far from perfect. But since it is an entity of Yahoo!, it has the resources to be anything we the users want it to be!

Virtual City
Check out this really cool online mapping service called “Virtual City” — they’ve done some really intelligent street-side mapping of Toronto. (Reminds me of Microsoft’s Virtual Earth / Live Search Maps, especially their Street-side browsing)
