Thing 3 flicking through flickr

So my second task on 'rudai 23' was to upload a picture from an image bank. It was nice to refresh my mind about  “Intellectual property”, Copyright, “Creative Commons” and “DRM”.

There was one day that was sacrosanct though, Saturday how I loved thee, because right after 'Anything Goes' my Mum took me off  to the local library where I got to pick a massive bundle of books to keep me going until the next trip. I devoured them, I gobbled them word by word and fed my ravenous mind. The librarian was like an adoring Aunt who bestowed me with treats. She seemed to love my enthusiasm and would have a little pile of 'good ones' stashed behind the desk for me.
