I dragged myself through a normal day today while in post-flu haze. Here are some snaps from lucid moments:

(1) Boss Mark started our afternoon staff meeting with a "First Five"-minute talk on how he uses Flickr to syndicate phonecam pictures in real time to his blog.

(2) Chris did a second First Five on the cool developer's extensions available for Mozilla Firefox.

The yellow hard hats you see are to promote the upcoming relaunch of our web site. Each one has a project logo sticker and is personalized with the name of the recipient. We're giving them out to dozens of staff and clients at a "Hard Hat Tour" we're doing Thursday morning.

(3) After the staff meeting I admired a new addition to our staff art gallery: a sculpture of a human figure made from 30-50 rolls of clear packing tape by Mark Jenkins, one of our production designers.

(4) I'm checking snow conditions on web cams tonight as I'm in NYC for a meeting with a product partner tomorrow night and all day Wednesday, and at a conference in Montreal Friday thru Monday.
