Free, Photographed, and Fickle

FREE
Today has been a delightful day with no place I had to be. Keeping that in mind, I went nowhere save for a little walk through downtown New Westminster. The clouds are dark but there's also sun. Most importantly, there's no rain. So, my lack of required activity and the weather made this a rather nice day. I Facebooked and through a few comments decided that I cannot wait to retire at 55. Free days could never 'get old' for me.

PHOTOGRAPHED
I'm glad I decided early on to use tags well in Flickr. I just discovered a little progam that allows a user to back up the info there. As, on a trip only about 70%
Logo: MS Internet Explorer 8of the images get uploaded, it proves to be a better location for searching for photos for my digital frame. Online, I could easily throw together a group by location, person, or activity. Then, it'd be a breeze to download the whole kitandkaboodle to a SD card for my frame. There's no parallel in the old paper type of albums.

FICKLE
Also, I found myself switching back to Internet Explorer 8 from Firefox. I don't know why, I think I just needed a change. I do run Google Chrome on my netbook as it seems very fast under XP. Finally, the Microsoft product seems to have caught back up with the Mozilla group. I mean it has tabs which operate the same way as I got used to. To me, pages look better displayed in the Microsoft product but opening a new tab may take a bit longer. Ah, it doesn't matter. I don't own the game, Brain Age, so I figure re-learning how to do familiar things will keep me from getting senile.
