I’m very excited that a design I submitted to Threadless.com has been accepted and is now ‘up for voting’. Over the next seven days, people can rate my submission from 1-5 (five being best, and what I’d kindly ask all of you to vote) and an optional tickbox to indicate that you’d buy it — no obligation mind you!
Check it out — you may recognise it from my Flickr photostream:
My most popular image on Flickr is a scan of a photograph taken back in the mid-90s. It features my cat Jack sitting rather casually in the bathroom sink.
Flickr has a love/hate relationship with cat pictures. So much so that they’ve had to factor in special calculations of the ‘Interestingness’ algorhythm to downplay the interestingness of cat pictures. So I removed all the cat-related tags and removed the photo from cat-related pools, then overnight it rose from #295 to #2. A few comments later, it rose to #1.
The date of the #1 spot is the date the photo was originally uploaded: 15 May, 2005.
