We Can’t Do Anything Right
Every time I think of this, I smile: on Monday, Rain City Guide published an interview with Redfin about blogging. In a flight of tooty-fruitiness, we described our “child-like joy in finding colorful pictures on Flickr to post.” Seattle Realtor Marlow Harris, Redfin’s natural antagonist, left a sinister warning that this may be illegal.
The photos are public, but from here on out, we’ll provide a link for attribution. Marlow: good bust, baby.
Bonus link: Gastrokid.

The picture you have there is (c) all rights reserved by the photographer. On the other hand, there is a huge amount of creative-commons licensed material in Flickr that you can use with total freedom (and are even encouraged to use!) Advanced Search in Flickr lets you filter out the all rights reserved stuff.

My initials are MH, but that isn’t me! Though it does sound like something I would write
