Fastr

Put your semantic-iconic quicks to the test by playing Fastr, a Flickr-based tag-guessing game (via).  I was in the lead for the better part of a round yesterday, but then I blanked on a series tagged "youth" (or "young", I forget) and wound up ninth.

Tag Brick

I went ahead and pulled the tag cloud from the right-hand column this morning.  It worked fine for a few months last fall, but for several weeks now the tags have ceded their cloudiness, freezing instead on the set you see here, many of which come from Ph.'s FR basketball schedule.  His season ended two weeks ago. 

I returned to the Tagcloud site, saw the latest news headline from 65 days ago: "TagCloud Continues to Grow." On an apathetic whim, I sent in a troubleshooting note: "What the hay's going on with my cloud?"  But I haven't heard anything back.  Maybe one of these days I'll look into a plugin that will allow me to do something similar.
