Can you believe it is Thursday already? :)
We’ve had back to back 4 day working weeks thanks to Memorial day and our trip to Big Sur. Photos from those trips have been dominating the blog for the last couple of weeks but that probably reflects our life over the last couple of weeks. We are finally getting back to normal and things should be quiet this weekend.
I haven’t been spending my usual time keeping up with technology which is why tech posts are infrequent. I’m sure everyone has noticed that Apple is in the news, thanks to their switch to Intel processors. Being the proud new owner of an iMac G5, I hope the PowerPC machines keep their value like they always have but it’s probably a case of wishful thinking. Nevertheless, a decline in PowerPC Mac prices would probably be a good excuse to pick a new Mac up for my brother or parents or in-laws :)
I have been spending a lot of time with photos and I think the new Picasa is awesome – in some ways even better than iPhoto ’05. Flickr is great too. I am strongly considering upgrading to a pro account and archiving all our photos at Flickr. It would be worth it for the ability to share all the pictures and to have a backup – hard drives can be so unreliable!
Have you noticed the new Flickr Zeitgeist on the right panel? I think it’s pretty neat.
In other major news, we are going to watch Coldplay live!! Yay! The concert is Aug 19th in Mountain View. Their new album is out already and we are already listening to it on Napster. Unfortunately, Napster has started being strict about not allowing multiple logins into the same account so App and I cannot use Napster at the same time through the day :( This will probably be our last month with Napster. Time to try Yahoo Music Unlimited. Even if they don’t allow multiple logins, hey its only $5 a month!
I’ll stop rambling for now. It’s time to get back to work. I’m posting this through email for the first time, hope this works! Ciao!
