Judy Pearsall, the editorial director for Oxford Dictionaries, said “selfie” appeared to have been first used in 2002 on an Australian online forum, and the hashtag (hash)selfie appeared on the photo-sharing website Flickr in 2004. “But usage wasn’t widespread until around 2012, when ‘selfie’ was being used commonly in mainstream media,” she said. Australian English sometimes uses the suffix “-ie” — such as barbie for barbeque and tinnie for a can of beer — which helps to explain where “selfie” may have come from, Pearsall added.

Sisters Mei-Rung Huang and Mei-Yu Lo are showing their works jointly at the Orinda Library Gallery through the end of May. Huang has a wide range of ceramics both decorative and functional on display, and both she and Lo are showing paintings. Lo has captured on canvas natural scenes inspired by her hikes, but prefers to create her own compositions, blending a bit of realism with the semiabstract as depicted in her “Marsh” and “Blue Mountain.” Huang’s paintings still have a hint of the traditional Chinese brush painting techniques she cultivated earlier but it’s her acrylic portraits of animals that, like her sister, give her a chance to represent human characteristics.
