A Site that Deserves a Post of its Own

This is a cool site.  Don't be alarmed that it's not in english - you won't need to read anything!  Just load it and watch!

Trust me - watch it!

From the Folder I Call 'Interesting and Random'

I somehow happen to stumble across some very random stuff on the internet.  I'm sure there's stranger out there, but I think I'd rather not go there.  

These are just a selection of them I'm going through today.

1.  CV Gadget - Kinda like googling yourself, but better.  Interesting to see where you are listed on the web.  

2.  Census Atlas - Interesting charts and tables about the US of A.  Census data since the 1920s.  You can get a very good overview of the population.

3.  Fark - Collection of 'weird but true' news stories.  You'll find something to say 'huh' at on this site.

4.  Human Flip Book - If you haven't seen this, you need to watch it.  Way cool.  Seriously.

5.  Eternal Sunset - See the sunset all over the world.  Some pretty cool pictures.

6.  How Many of Me -  Another way to see if there is anyone out there like you.  There's only one of me if I use my maiden name - and 6 of me with my married name.  How cool is that.

Healthy Thinking

These are a couple of sites that would be good references for everyone.  Health and medical information sites.  I haven't used them too much yet, knock on wood.  

1.  KidsHealth - also has a teens page and a parents page.

2.  MedlinePlus - a government website with a lot of information about medical terminology and drug information

3.  PDRHealth - tons of information on everything health and medical related

4.  Family Doctor - another comprehensive site

5.  OR - Live - interesting site to watch surgeries, without all the drama of a tv show

More Computer Sites

I feel like I've been talking about my computer a lot.  Considering that I'm on it the entire day, it's probably pretty reasonable.  I'm clearing out my bookmarks and I have a bunch of computer-related ones.  Mostly programs that I've come across and think (thought) that I'd use someday.  Forgive the short descriptions, I haven't used most of these and I just want a record of them that's not on my computer.

1.  Fonts - tons of downloadable fonts

2.  Audacity - a sounds and music editor

3.  Custom Address Book -  comes with extra functions to get your addresses organized

4.  Jumpcut - edit your videos

5.  Blurb - make your own book

6.  Mosaic Maker - create photo mosaics from digital photos

7.  Pingg - Online Invitations, party planning and event management

8.  Picnik - edit photos the easy way, online in your browser

9.  Post In Notes - sticky notes freeware for your desktop

10.  Webware - blog of cool web apps for everyone

11.  Butterscotch - blog of 'delicious downloads and tasty tech'

Is a picture is worth a 1000 words...or 9 cents?

I've been working on getting all our wedding pictures squared away..all 1000+ of them.  It will be a full 3 inch binder.  But I think it's worth it.  : )

1.  Snapfish - This is where I order most of my photos from.  I usually do it when they have deals.  Sometimes 20 prints for a penny each.  It usually ends up being between 10 and 15 cents per print including shipping and handling.  Plus they have a bunch of the photogifts and occassionaly give you free prints if you've bought enough.  It's easy to use and I haven't had any trouble with them yet (knock on wood).  If you are interested in signing up (it's free!), please let me know so I can refer you and we both can get some free prints!

2.  Shutterfly - Another photo uploading and printing site.  Maybe a little more upscale than Snapfish, but good quality and still easy to use.  I actually got a free photobook from them after the wedding.  

3.  Winkflash - I haven't used this one yet.  They say it's a good place to actually store your photos and be able to download them again.

4.  SmugMug - Likewise with this one.  I haven't looked into it yet, but have heard too reviews.

5.  Photobucket - I've used this a bit for sharing photos.  I haven't found a good way for people to download the pictures off of it yet tho.

6.  MyPictureTown - I reccently used this one to upload pictures of a friend's wedding to share with other friends.  It looks like downloading them will be pretty easy.  I haven't heard any input back from them yet, but it looks promising.

I use Walmart alot to order pictures too.  It's easy to pick them up in store and they have customer service that I can directly talk to there.
