What would you consider to be your 15 minutes of fame so far in life?
In the 1990s I wrote an article that was published in a nonfiction book from a small feminist press, that got a few press clippings from papers that review that kind of thing. One of the clippings even namechecked me.
I like to think that, in the time of the Internet, the more accurate quote is "everyone will be famous to 15 people." And I've acheived that to one degree or another in various communities I participate in.
I got tagged by poopoorama. I guess I have to do this blog meme thing now.
"Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with 5 facts about yourself. Then choose 5 people you want to tag and list their names. Then leave a comment on their blog letting them know they’ve been tagged."

I went on my second Flickr photostroll yesterday. Croctommy and my new pal Katenadine from Flickr/PCNW came along. There were tons of people! The weather was perfect, I had a great time, and I am very much enjoying looking at everyone's shots.
I brought the Mamiya medium format TLR out for the first time since acquiring it last month. Some folks good some good shots of me with all the equipment. That stuff was heavy!
I was interviewed for an article about geotagging photos for the New York Times that was published today (Page C9 in the paper edition). The author saw a post I had made to the Flickr Geotagging group and decided to ask me for an interview. The photos were taken Tuesday in St. Edward State Park in Kenmore. I'm pretty happy with it, because the author actually knows what he's talking about and he didn't take my quotes out of context. We actually talked for a long time and he's pretty cool.
Here are some other blogs that mention the article:
