# 5 Set up a roost on Flickr. The bird part of me delights in viewing photos and even more in examining artwork, probably because, in the long ago days when I was more than legend, a quill might be an artist's tool of choice.
# 6 To remind myself how valuable I've been in making the artist's vision exist for others, I have added a Flash montage of my favorite artwork using Flickr's handy Badge tool. Also created a Sirin trading card to pass out on my travels, but discarded it because FD's Toys asked for access to my Flickr account if published there. Sorry, but I am a private sort of bird. So I flew back and tried again choosing download instead. Voila! Here is Melusina.
# 7 Since the human part of me has occasional trouble navigating and I am now on a challenging journey, finding out about Global Positioning System applications seems very practical. This article What is GPS? has a good explanation of how it works and its uses. To think I have to try to open a printed map while gliding or must inquire directions from a harried avian commuter.
While flying over Albion I noticed a Crowe's Nest meriting much closer examination and dropped a feather to indicate I'd be back.

Melusina,
Here's some information from the BBC concerning a European alternative to the U.S. owned / regulated GPS: Galileo
