I’m in ur iPhone, guiding u 2 ComicCon
It’s already December. Are you planning your July trip to San Diego for the 2009 Comic Con yet?
If you are, you should check out the new Schmap!! guide to San Diego, where you might come across one of my photos from last year’s con! Go to the Services – Business area, mouse over “San Diego Convention Center” and wait for the magical moment when my name appears below a photo in the loop.
At least is was a little magical for me, okay?
The truth is, I didn’t think it was a really great photo… but I guess it does capture the sheer mass of people who were flooding into the convention center with me from the trolley.
This iPhone mock-up was presented to me by Schmap!! to help me visualize what my photo within their guide would look like to someone who has a much cooler phone than I do. They have guides for a couple hundred cities around the world, clearly designed with the internet-enabled mobile phone user in mind. Old-fashioned PC users like myself can download their little program and view the desktop version of their guide.
Schmap!! found my photo on my Flickr stream and contacted me through Flickr to request permission to use the photo in their guide.
I didn’t see a reason not to comply – I’m not using the photo for anything else, and now I get the return benefit of being Totally Famous. At least in the eyes of my mother, who will always think that I’m the greatest thing since sliced, gluten-free and flax seed fortified bread. (Thanks, Mom.)
