Dickinson’s Flickr Hypotheses

I would like to propose the following hypotheses:

1. Any photo uploaded to Flickr will fall within the guidelines of at least one Flickr group.
2. As time increases from 1 to n, the odds of a comment being posted asking the owner of any reasonably interesting photo to be added to at least one of said groups increases to 1-(1/n).

Some of the comments I have received supporting these hypotheses:

* [Invite to a group of only cats sniffing flowers](http://www.flickr.com/photos/remydwd/99883396/#comment72157594178677675) – picture of Buttons in roses.
* [Invite to Photo Rights Mobilization group](http://www.flickr.com/photos/remydwd/17635876/#comment72157594163582727) – picture of sign at WWDC with passing mention to wanting to avoid being bothered by security.
* [Invite to Interestingness group](http://www.flickr.com/photos/remydwd/76276012/#comment20887287) – picture one of my “most interesting” according to Flickr.
* [Invite to “The Continuum”](http://www.flickr.com/photos/remydwd/76276012/#comment20906993) – same picture as previous comment.
* [Invite to group about British Comedies](http://www.flickr.com/photos/remydwd/3049639/#comment621314) – picture of me with Simon Pegg & Nick Frost

2006 International Parade

Dancing

Thinking

Policing

Holding

Every year, we seem to inadvertently wander into town the day of the International (or Immigrants) Parade. While there are a number of countries that get their own unique parade — most notably the Greeks and the Puerto Ricans — this parade offers an opportunity for all the remaining countries to get their parade on. So whether you have as much of a showing as China (several blocks of paraders) or as little as Haiti (one sedan), you get to march up 6th Avenue in alphabetical order.

It has become very apparent to me that a telephoto lens is a fantastic boon when shooting parades. I wish I had picked one up sooner.

Possible TAR10 Spotting

Today, while in Manhattan, we *may* have seen a team in the current taping of TAR. I am not 100% sure, but comparing it to known information about the currently taping season, it seems to fit.

If you want to see the details – keeping in mind they could be spoilerific – check out [my post to TWOP](http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=2666383&view=findpost&p=5539283).
