I really find both the subject matter ("ubiquitous computing in the service of sustainability") and the medium (using flickr with notes) really interesting. I think that people have looked mainly (and understandably) at flickr for photo-sharing but have missed the learning and community of practice/interest wooden baby cribs otentials that are here.

A lot of people heard about the devastation caused by the earthquake in Indonesia. I was on Phi Phi Don island off the Andaman coast of Thailand when the tidal wave hit. Not really up to posting the full story as yet, but here's some info I emailed to family members. We were on a boat tour when the captain dramatically veered off course (we were headed to remote Bamboo Island) and was frantically talking on his cell phone. Their English was very poor so it was not clear what was going on. Long story short, we got on the beach but were too low when the tidal wave struck. It created a flash flood effect and I was in the middle of rapids containing debris, wood and all matter of building material. Ton Sai, the main village and also the pier, are completely leveled is the rumor. I cut my knee up pretty bad and have trouble walking but nothing broken. I am fine r n b hits onsidering the state of most of Phi Phi and the rest of the folks here in Phuket hospital. Unfortunately, all of our stuff was on a bungalow hotel called Maprao about 40 minutes from where the boat landed so we were not able to go back and get any of our things. Thus, currently nearly penniless, passport-less, travel insurance-less etc. at the moment. But at the hospital everything is free including email access. Unfortunately, the US embassy has not been very helpful in contrast to other embassies and we don't know much logistically in terms of loans, passports, retreiving our stuff, etc.
