Photo Friday on Metachat February 5, 2010 11:57 AM Subscribe
It's Friday!...which means that over on Metachat, we continue the Friday tradition of posting photos by members on a given theme (this week, Fences; other recent marvels, Glow, Photobooth, Reflections, Old/New. If you haven't been over to MetaChat in a while, or ever, Photo Friday is a nice place to start with a post or a comment - and a relaxing way to wind down the work week with a few moments of Zen.
Many thanks to essexjan, who manages the Photo Friday project, and to the photographers who post.

No, but if you hang around long enough, someone surely will.

Thank you for this post. I always forget about photo Fridays until it is too late.

How is this MetaFilter-related?
It's as MetaFilter-related as the Kiva group, or MeFightClub, or MeFiSwap or any of that other stuff that is made mainly of MeFites but has nothing else to do with MetaFilter.

I'm really glad today's theme is fences and not "feces" like I originally read.

Yeah, that would be a really shitty theme.

I wondered who these mythical people are who have pictures of fences lying around.
Apparently I know one. I'll inspect the specimen with great interest at my next opportunity.

How is this MetaFilter-related?
MetaChat is one of many of MetaFilter's separately run spinoff sites/projects. It was established as a place for MetaFilter members and others to do the kind of aimless chatting, light fare, and other non-topic-focused interaction that isn't appropriate on any of the MetaFilter pages. Most users are MeFites and more folk are always welcome to join in.
When the site was new (2005) it was more common to see occasional mentions of its activites pop up MetaTalk - it's open to everyone and new members are encouraged. But it's been a long time since we popped into to MetaTalk with an invite/reminder to come on over, or even a 'hi, we're still here.' That was the motivation for today's mention of PF.

Yeah the occasional "hey you might not know about this other closely-related community" post in MeTa is totally okay. If it becomes "Hey Kiva weekly update!" [which I am not implying it would] then yeah less great. I really enjoy MetaChat. Thanks for the update, Miko.

"I pulled one out for this."
I would like the record to reflect that although it is Friday at, er, 4:29 local time and 56 degrees american here with the trees just starting to bud and the bulbs pushing up that I held my tongue.

Oh -- that is definitely not the plan! Understood and in full agreement.

Actually, I too appreciate the update, because I spend far too little time with the bunnies. :(
Thanks, Miko.

Did you just spill the beans on what happened in Vegas?
I was originally going to respond "No, it said photographs of fences, not feces." I see that joke has already been cooked, served, eaten, digested and disposed of. So, I've got nothing.

MetaChat is like MetaFilter's "Friends of the Library," and there's a book sale, every day.

Oh yay I'm glad you did this! We think alike - I was planning on posting something like this yesterday but then I decided it was more important to go drink too much beer in celebration of yet another horrible snow day.
Photo Fridays have been getting better and better - three cheers for essexjan, who has been doing an awesome job with themes and heads up announcements and putting up wonderful pictures of her own!
