2008: A Year in Review

I get to celebrate the new year with my Flickr account.  I’ve been locked out for the past 2 weeks and just convinced yahoo that the account was mine this afternoon after multiple detailed emails proving that I know what is in the accounts.  In celebration, I renewed my pro account for 2 years.
