As we approach the time to change back to Standard Time, it’s also time to remember to change the Date/Time Taken on our cameras.
Cousin Sam called me the other night with a photo crisis. … [continued]

The only graphics software that I dislike more than Picasa … you didn’t know there was one, did you? … is Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer. This one actually makes me angry because Adobe has the audacity to sell you an upgrade every year.

Remember the WLPG GPS disaster of 2010? Well, that’s over, I guess. I don’t know. I haven’t been back.

The documentation of my family history would be perfect if it wasn’t for the problem of sharing files with my family.
The stress goes on and on and doesn’t show any visible signs of lessening from year to year. I dread computer-talk with my family. I would almost rather eat nails. Obviously, they don’t read my blog because I’m like Chinese Water Torture. Drip, drip and they’d get it eventually. … [continued]
I was thinking about a game that could be played with the ancestor cards. Something along the lines of Go Fish Ancestor-Style. … [continued]
