In addition to being the 103rd anniversary of the introduction of Einstein’s theory of relativity, it’s International “Louie Louie” Day! So go honor the greatest party song of all time with a little mass-energy equivalence. Before you gotta go, check out how we got down this week:

• Moving pictures: Been living under a rock? Then you don’t know that Flickr now supports video! The much-anticipated feature went live earlier this week, letting the Flickrverse capture life’s little moments as “long photos” to share with friends, family, or the world. Uploads are limited to 90 seconds and are available to Flickr pro users. Check out what people posted to the (no longer) Super Secret beta pool and get your questions answered here.
• Watercooler ammo: Grab your coffee and donut, fire up Firefox, and bookmark Good Morning Yahoo!, a new morning video news program that gives you the quick-and-dirty lowdown on the latest in news and entertainment. Brought to you by Yahoo! News and the good people at Dunkin Donuts, it packages a daily mix of news videos and fun features culled by Yahoo! News editors. It’s updated live from 6:00am to 12:00pm ET weekdays. Don’t leave for work without it.
• Ask and ye shall receive: The gang at Upcoming is all ears and has made some recent tweaks based on user suggestions. You can now upload flyers and photos to help promote your event, including a special call-out for an official photo, logo, etc. And you can send a message to everyone watching or attending the event you’ve created. Keep those ideas flowing.
• Can you read it now?: Along with wisdom, experience, and distinguished graying temples comes a lack of patience for small fonts. But the My Yahoo! team has delayed your need for bifocals just a bit longer by offering the ability to increase the font size on your special page. Just go to the “Personalize this page” button and blow up those pixels. No looking down your nose at that.

As you like “moving pictures”, maybe Yahoo should look into SVG (Open). SVG is maybe the most important ingredient in the recent Acid3 support race of Safari and Opera. And Safari is also further spreading it on Windows and the iPhone. SVG Open is the SVG world conference, read everything about it at http://svgopen.org

Dunkin Donuts is amazing! Wonder if GMA got upset at your service name ‘Good Morning Yahoo’. Even though we make sleep products we love anything Dunkin Donuts - rock on yahoo!
