Here's an example of why I love work so much: we needed to make a slideshow thingie for people's photosets. So Eric whips it up and I'm slow in sending him UI component grapics. So in the meantime, he makes it just work with favorites, and personal tags, and the global set of all photos tagged with the same word (explanation here). Cal gets back at 11pm from giving a talk to the local php group, whips up some scripts for fancier urls. Next morning Caterina, George and I settle on a design for displaying them, and up they go.

But the really cool thing is this: flickr.com/photos/tags/decay/show - an excellent slideshow presentation that just emerges, created by no-one/everyone. (Replace 'decay' in the URL with 'green' or 'sky' or 'clouds' or 'paris' or whatever.)

I've never worked in a context where so much gets done in a day.
