Testing Picasa Embeded Slideshow
This is a cool feature that Picasa offers. I can embed a slideshow of photos right into this blog or any other web page I want. You can see the results below.
Another cool feature of Picasa is a visual link to the photo album. As seen below.
Flickr Vs. Picasa
I’m testing out two different photo sharing services. I’ve used both and recently started using Flickr again; but thought I would take a look at Picasa Web again and have been pleasently suprised. The sites do the exact same thing, but no surprise Google has done a great job with Picasa;
although as with all Google sites it does lack a certain “splash” quality; but the same is true of Flickr.
I have the same sets of photos on both sites. Take a look at the public galleries of Carlos jr and tell me what you think. You can e-mail me at my primary address.
Picasa – Carlos Jr. Flickr - Carlos Jr.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts, and if you would suggest some other service. One of the main reasons for looking at either one of these sites is that there are plugins for Aperture 1.5 that allow me to post directly to their sites without the use of a secondary program or doing web-uploads.
CyberWyre Data Mining using Google
If you ever use Google, and who doesn’t, then you might find some of these commands very useful and if any thing interesting. Give them a try and let me know what you think. The Weather one can be very useful and quick.
How Google Earth Works
I have been using Google Earth, since before it was called Google Earth. Back then it was known as KeyHole. I use Google Earth at work to look up buildings we manage or are looking at managing. It is an amazing system and if your computer is less than a few years old then it should run fine. There is a free version for now, so there is no reason not to download and try it out. Oh, it gives directions and finds places for you as well using the Google search engine.
