February 29th is a day that plays hard-to-get, but that’s what makes it special. The next one won’t be until 2012, so make the most of it and do something memorable!
(Oh, and Happy Birthday to all the Leaplings out there.)

If you’ve been a Flickr member for more than a year, you should think about subscribing to Photojojo’s Photo Time Capsule.
“The Photo Time Capsule digs up your photos on Flickr from a year ago, choosing the ones that are most interesting (most views, comments, and faves), then sends them to you a quick email. I’ve been using it for a while, and it’s amazing how nostalgia-inducing getting a little time capsule every couple weeks has been.” — Amit Gupta, Photojojo
Though only a year ago, the photos highlighted in my first email felt like a real blast from the past. Oh, and if you don’t know Photojojo, check out the archives for much photo make and do goodness.
We hope that those flocking to Austin next month will join local Flickrites and a few members of Team Flickr at the Cathedral of Junk for the SXSW Worldwide Flickrite Meet-up! You’ll want to bring your camera.

Starting immediately, Flickr is looking to hire a Front-end Engineer for our San Francisco office.
Web Developer, Interface Engineer, however you want to say it, you love to keep it client-side when it comes to coding. If you get fired up writing web applications that perform wonderfully across browsers, operating systems, languages and devices and your resulting maintainable code looks like well-documented poetry, then we want to talk to you.
To apply, please send an email to iwannaworkatflickr@yahoo.com with the job’s title as the subject line. Include a cover letter and resume: bonus points if the resume can be included in the email or if it is online somewhere and you just send a link (we will accept attachments but we’ll be really annoyed by them — keep that in mind). Check out the details below.
We smile on those who already have deep experience with Flickr: include a link to your photostream if you have one. Be prepared to tell us why you want to work on Flickr specifically.
Flickr revolutionized photo sharing with its launch in 2004. Its innovative approach to how people store, share, sort and search for photos has attracted millions of users and influenced the way the current generation of web-based products and services are developed. Flickr’s vision is to be the ‘eyes of the world‘, enabling the sharing and discovery of what people see around the globe, from friends and family to group collaboration to breaking news. Flickr was acquired by Yahoo! in March 2005, and remains a separate brand.
Every week, millions of users visit Flickr.com and millions more access Flickr through API-based applications, photos posted to blogs and other third party sites and services. It’s a complex and quickly growing application and ecosystem and design is at the heart of it.
We have a track record of innovation to build on and a strong desire to radically improve Flickr, both for new users and casual visitors as well as the power users who form the core of the community. There’s a huge and tremendously long list of new features, programs and technologies set to come online this year. If you’ve ever wanted to have a big impact, this is it.
Attributes of successful candidates will include:
Responsibilities of the position will include:

I found a group called domestic spaces/human traces, and was quickly whisked away by its power of suggestion.
