I love it! I can't keep up!
Things I imagine should exist before I think them up. I guess this is what growing old is about. (VBG)
Two new things I discovered today, first is a small add-in for Picasa2, the photo handling software free from Google that I have liked but not used a lot can now move your photos not only to Picasa's online storage but you can send them to Flickr too.
Flickr (now part of Yahoo) is the more web friendly photo site in my opinion. And *NOW* while viewing my photos I used Picasa to upload I can directly connect to my blogs and post the images to those blogs, I'm doing it this second.
All of this means web publishing is as easy as writing e-mails but a lot prettier.
Let me recommend you try:
http://picasa.com
http://www.flickr.com
http://picasa2flickr.sourceforge.net/
http://www.blogger.com and/or
http://www.wordpress.com
All the services are free with advanced features available for fees.

There doesn't seem to be much innovation on aviation in this country anymore, is it all the lawsuits? But here are two grand dads in their 70's building an old dream, a flying car.
How cool is this?

Tagmaps
TagMaps - World Explorer
Here is something new and fun from Yahoo.
Tagmaps combines the Yahoo map with Flikr photos so that as you look at the map you find tags for the ares on the map and by holding your mouse over those tags images from the area appear in a window to the right. Then you can look more closely at those pictures by clicking them and look at the photo collections of the photographers.
It's pretty neat!

Can't we all just get along?
ACLU Objects to Praying Marines Hoax
I'm normal.
I work with people who are politically opposite from me and I respect them, deeply.
I receive e-mails from them that are, I believe, their genuine feelings sent to persuade me that my end of the political spectrum is wrong and theirs is right.
The link above is a link I found after receiving the e-mail the link's webpage describes from a co-worker. The page "de-bunks" the content of the e-mail, I found the link with a simple search on Google of the words: marines bowing aclu, this link was the top listing in the search.
What disturbs me is not the idea that the ACLU would oppose prayer on federal property, the fact is it has no such opposition.
What disturbs me is that my friend would rather believe that my "liberal" leanings would want to stop prayers by folks in their own space and time, ever, and that my friend would not look more closely himself at the information he spreads to others. I believe it is important, now more than ever that we all look closely at the information from which we make our life's decisions. We live in a crowded planet and misinformation is expensive.
I do not oppose prayer, like my friend I consider myself Christian, I try to be like Christ in my life. I believe that God made me, but like *ALL* humans I am imperfect and so I must respect that I do not have all the right thoughts and answers and others who seem unlike me, who are not Christian (or liberal) are not *ALL* wrong. And if they are atheist or simply different than me I will respect their desire to *NOT* have to pray as I do. God made them too.
Even the most objectionable, God made them.
So I am here humbly offering to my co-worker and anyone else interested in reading this that we all take an extra breath before we pull the trigger against anyone from "the other side". Are we that certain that we are "right"? Is there a chance the opposition has merit? Is it conceivable that we may not have all the needed information before we become condemning?
Remember that extra breath.

Get out of Cell Phone contracts?
CellSwapper Solves A Very Annoying Problem
What an idea!
I *HATE* cell phone companies. The whole Reagan revolution meant the downfall of customer service and cell phones debut in the same period led the way in customer NO-service.
A major part of the NO-service was the inclusion of terrible contracts for long time periods with exorbitantly high cancellation fees. So along comes this site, CellSwapper, which tries to mate folks trying to leave a contract with others looking to get into one.
There are many reasons to change services, poor coverage, poor sound, etc. can mean you want to change but if you are stuck, this just may be the way to go.
Have a look. Here's hoping you don't find it necessary, but most likely... well, good luck.
