Bored with Flickr

Actually, I've perused whole lists of Flickr mashups, tools, and webaps, and don't see much I want to do with any of them. For me, I like my photos to be representative of my memories, and I have no desire to mess with them and make them jigsaw puzzles, or change the colors, or put balloon captions on them. (Unless it's on pictures of cats.) Just thinking about putting a balloon message in a picture of my mother gives me the creeps, but maybe that's because the last picture I have of her is in her coffin.

As for games, well - I've managed to be bored by PacMan and Tetris, and Bejeweled, and it doesn't look like Flickr games are going to catch my fancy either. Even Solitaire games can only hold my attention so long ... I think it's because I like games only with real interaction with other players. I liked to play bridge, and Risk, and other board games, but part of the fun is to have the companionship of the other players. Playing with the computer can't keep my attention.

I'm thinking that moving on to RSS feeds will amuse me more.
