And while we're on generators, even though these aren't image generators:

Hee, hee, I'm on a trading card! I was tickled by Google-fu on Urban Dictionary and immediately had to use it in a sentence.

Oh, and as a Warhol painting, thanks to BigHugeLabs.com:

Week 3, Thing 5: Explore Flickr

Amy and Alex at ALA

When I'm not a librarian, I'm a freelance editor. I never meet the authors of my books--they're usually academics at universities around the country. Imagine my surprise when I walked by the IFLA booth at the ALA convention and there was Alex Byrne, head of the CAIFE committee of IFLA and author of The Politics of Promoting Freedom of Information and Expression in International Librarianship: The IFLA/FAIFE Project. I finished editing his book the week before the ALA conference. It was a treat for me to meet one of my authors, as editing is a pretty solitary occupation, and he sent me this picture his colleague took of us at ALA. I'm going to post the photo on my editing website too (not to worry, I have permission!)

It's nice to be able to tag photos and share them, but I really do very little public sharing of photos. Thanks, I like most of my photos to stay private, shared to friends by email. However, some of the things that can be done with Flickr are very cool--slideshows, easy blogging tools, etc.
