Well last night, it wasn't the best of nights. My vehicle is still
dead. The tow truck driver came and jumped it and refused to tow it to
my mechanic.
In the middle of all this, I was trying to have
Skype calls, IM convos and work on a few things.
One of my
skype calls was with
Geek Talk Live's
Robbie Trencheny. I had origionally spoken with him on the
Go-To-Meeting call with a bunch of other podcasters and blogger. I believe the call was originated by
Matthew Bischoff. It was a great call and learned a lot of new technologies out there.
Robbie and I were talking about podcasting and other things related to such. He then checked
his Flickr account and saw this email:
| 1. Double what you paid for! Your original 1 year pro account has been
doubled to 2 years, and your new expiry date is Nov 22, 2006.
2. More capacity! Now you can upload 2 GB per month.
3. 2 free Pro Accounts to give away to your friends! This won’t be
activated for a day or two, but when it is, you’ll see a note on your
home page telling you what to do.

He asks me if I have a
Flickr Pro account.
I didn't because I was waiting until the new price structure came down
from Yahoo!...which that has as well...but get to that in a minute.
He sends me an invite for a free
Flickr Pro account. A $24.95 value. That was AWESOME! Thank you VERY much
Robbie.
He has some really good ideas about podcasting and show notes as they
relate to mp3 players in general. I look forward to what comes out of
Geek Talk Live in the coming months! He also wanted to know the inner secrets of Dawn and Drew....but those are going for sale on eBay ;-)...
Speaking of
eBay..there is none yet on
eBay, but I'd put $10,000 up that today or in the next few days,
Flickr accounts
will go on sale on eBay.
Of course they won't go for more than retail value...but I'd bet they
could maybe get $20 for one. It seems that everyone that signed up
previously has 2 accounts to hand out, and I bet you could make $40 on
the whole thing. Here is a
link to watch for Flickr on eBay.
Below is the new special that
Flickr is running for people who aren't so lucky to have cool friends like
Robbie give them a
Flickr Pro account.
So, I think that recaps last night's podcasting/blogging adventures....Keep an eye out on my
Flickr pro account and
RSS feed for updates. I think I can post all of my pictures on
iPhoto...I
am busy tagging them all now. Other than that, 24 was awesome and it
looks like they are bringing back President Palmer to help out the VP
turned President in this season.
