Dunstan Orchard

So, there I was perusing my RSS spew when I spotted an item about a cool new feature of Flickr. They now offer embeddable slide shows that can include video. Cool! Clicked the link to the Flickr blog item and what do I find? A sample slide show by a guy named Dunstan Orchard. Weird.

Well, I don't know the guy, so when I say weird it's referencing the closeness in our names. He works for Flickr, so it's no wonder he has a ton of pics on the site. You can find out more about the new slide show feature here. Here's his slide show.



This all comes not long after I heard from another Stan Orchard (no Dun), a world renowned frog expert in Victoria, BC. Sheesh! I'm feeling kinda inadequate. The Stan Orchard (no dun) to the north is helping eradicate an invasive species from Vancouver Island, while the Stan Orchard (with a Dun) to the south is helping create awesome online tools. I'm just an old Web hack in Seattle. :-(

Maybe we should start a club so I can hang out with the cool folks. At least I share their name!
