Can you believe I actually won something? Yea, me neither.

Not sure if you remember or not, but last week there was a bit of an outage on Flickr. Right in the middle of the day and it last about an hour, maybe a little longer.

They provided a blank template unto which they requested users get creative, snap a pic and upload once service was restored. They would then sift through the entries (that were correctly tagged,of course) and select 1 that would win a pro account upgrade for a year. WOW!

Well, they ended up getting more entries that they thought, so instead only picking 1 winner, they picked a bunch and I was one of them. It must have been a random drawing or something because this:

Isn’t that great. But it did win me 3 months worth of pro service at flickr for FREE! WooT!

You can see some way more creative entries here. Don’t come back and laugh tho, that will just make me feel bad.
