History: 40 years computer mouse

The mouse is almost as old as I am. Ughh! Anyway I found this story of the history of the mouse interesting in this article by SolarLife at NowPublic .  What made it more interesting is that Rod Holt has commented on the story. You might say who is Rod Holt. He was Chief Engineer and Vice President of Engineering of Apple during the Apple II era.  An actual tech celebrity! Anyway what makes this particularly amazing is the stunning photograph’s they used in the story(like the one to the right). Yep that’s my mouse from my Macintosh Classic. Ok it a shameless act of self promotion but what the heck.  Well have a great weekend and I’ll talk to you later.

Google brings us LIFE

Google working with LIFE magazine has begun publishing LIFE's picture archive. These are photo's and images from 1700's to the present and many have never been published before . You can read more about it here on Google's official blog or can go here to access the archive. Published above are just a sampling of what I found. I'm a history buff so I found this addicting and cool.

Importing photo's to Picasa

In this tutorial I go over the process of importing your photo's to Picasa. Hope you enjoy.

Picnik at Flickr

I use Flickr to share my photo's. Sometimes before editing or touching them up. A nice feature on Flickr is the ability to edit photo's you've already uploading them. The software they use to do this is called Picnik. Here's a demo I shot of it.
