Unfortunately, though, it was taken with a film camera and the file available on Stock.xchng (click on the picture in the post) is 1500x1000 and its the largest file I have. I used it as my background for a while, but modern monitors have such high resolutions it wasn't big enough. There’s no usage restrictions, so feel free to download it.

It seems like every blogger's foray into Cuil was to see if their own blog shows up. Mine didn't. After a couple of days, though, some links that reference my site appeared, but no direct links to my site did. But if you Google the name of my blog, I'm the #1 result. Cuil might be superior from SOMEONE's perspective, but not mine. How refreshing to see that people properly credit other’s work!

I've only gotten it to work once. One time w/out it timing out. And even then, the results weren't great and I'm not a fan of the format. There's nothing I've seen that makes me want to use it except for the fact that I've only gotten it to work once and I have this sick desire to see it work again...

I haven't tried it yet but intend to. If I go that route though, I'll have to scrub out the dead salmon. One of my commenters on SXC said the photo would look good in black and white.
