Photo management

January 31st, 2006

I seem to be taking lots of photos as of late. I love looking back through them weeks after they’ve been taken, but I’m having one problem: keeping them organized in a manner that allows me to find them quickly and easily. I’ve tried iPhoto and Flickr, but neither seem to be exactly what I need.

Anyone ran into the same issue that can lend some great advice? Please shoot me all the tips, tricks and advice.

Generation Observation

January 29th, 2006

Yesterday while at my local coffee house, I noticed something I had never taken the time to examine in detail. The differences in generations and the way they use technology and their way of life.

I noticed in the coffee shop, older folks enjoying coffee, mostly black, reading a newspaper. On the other hand, the younger generation, drinking their lattes, surfing the internet or listening to their iPod.

On the street, I noticed the older generations driving their Cadillac’s and Buick’s. I see the younger generation driving their Honda’s and Toyota’s.

I see older gentleman walking the streets in their trousers, button-down collared shirts, and wing-tipped oxfords. I see the new generation wearing jeans riddled with holes and furry boots.

Interesting to see these day to day observations and wonder what my children will one day do and wear.

Dine-In vs Take-Out

January 28th, 2006

On Friday night I decided to order take out from my new favorite Chinese restaurant. Now I’ve dined in the establishment a few times and each time, no matter what I ordered, I always received egg rolls and soup with my meal. However, last night I noticed for the first time, that when you order take-out, you play the same price and only receive the main dish. Not that I miss the extra food, as I have more than enough to do for a few days, but is dining in that much better than carry-out?

Is this common or just an over site?
