Picasa for Mac

 
I have been waiting literally for ages to organize my pictures. At one point I almost did it by using Picasa, but unfortunately it was only a few weeks before my transition to a Mac. Ever since, I have been trying to convince myself to change my picture storing habits from self-controlled folders to trusitng iPhoto to do the correct thing, but it never worked for me. I think I just need to have the control.

Any way, Picasa is finally available to macs. And it works quite well, especially since at its core Picasa is an image viewer, not an image organizer like iPhoto. By the way, I have the same problem with iTunes, I wish it could only monitor my music folders and show their contents, but that's a different story.

Anyway, hopefully this move will make emailing and Picasa-Web-Album-Sharing of my pictures much easier and hence pheasible. People who know me usually think my camera is a one way black hole, and even though my pictures are usually good (photography is one of my hobbies) they rarely get to see the final shots! Hopefully it won't be the case anymore.

To coelebrate this development, here's a picture of the sunrise in Galveston Island, Texas.

Enjoy!

Large Japanese soroban, belonged to John Nash.

I found this soroban in an admin room. Now belonging to our university, it used to belong to John P. Nash.

Being impressed

How technology has progressed! I'm on a conference call with two colleagues, sending SMS messages to another friend, taking a picture of my back yard and writing a blog post about it. All at the same time, from my cell phone. That's why I like to be in this industry. What you can only dream of one day will be accomplished in no time.

A post after a long hiatus

Ok, here I am after a long delay. It's been hard to keep up with all the work. Well, I'll try to write more often. Anyway.

Today I rode on my motorcycle for the first time. What a pleasent rush of feelings! The wind, fast moving scenary around you, and the looming danger which requires you to be 100% aware of everything. Nice experience.

Well, yes, I had not mentioned it earlier. I did big a motorcycle a few days ago. And I'm so happy I did. I'll post some pics in my next post.
