11I still have the [blog post from the Vancouver Geek Dinner](https://bmannconsulting.com/archive/2004/02/11/vancouver-geek-dinner-wrap-up/). And some notes on that [early full screen Flash-powered version of Flickr](https://bmannconsulting.com/archive/2004/02/16/flickr-kicks-off-rich-media-arms-race-for-social-networking-apps/). And some sort of [Flickr Buddy Icons](https://bmannconsulting.com/archive/2004/03/09/flickr-buddy-icons-fun/) that _still works 20 years later_.
