Hello, my handle is Quiplash--I am well known for my snappy comebacks.

(self-portrait coming soon...)

I'm a reference librarian, queergeek blogger, Flickr photographr, social networking software beta-test whore, and Sound-of-Music Maria wanna-be :-D

I joined flickr very, VERY early on: February 14th, 2004. My first account was Quiplash; this is my second flickr account, Quiplash! with a bang :-)



Yes, I'm the guy who came up with the idea for the the Flicky Awards just so you know who to blame ;-) but at the moment, I am administrator of only one flickr group, Avian Flu Watch. I'm spending most of my time lately on The Flu Clinic at CurEvents.com, watching the potential avian influenza pandemic unfold with mounting horror.

The most recent songs I've listened to on last.fm:



Here's my last.fm profile.



Here are some of the photos I've taken which are on flickr:
