Why I’m switching from Flickr to Picasa

Friday, February 12th, 2010

I have been on Flickr for years, and it's an outstanding online photo service. I also didn't mind paying the $25/yr for unlimited photo uploads. It's a great way to forever backup my iphoto albums, and easily share them online. However, when I look at Google's Picasa, I get most of ...

Bye Bye Text Books

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

New favorite tool – DropBox

I have been blown away at what google has done with gmail over the past several months. It is by far the BEST email application in my book, and here's why. I'm not going to go through a feature list...boring, but I will highlight some of the features that have made ...
