Colin and Cameron on Easter Sunday
Posted via Pixelpipe.
This is one of my favorite shots from Easter Sunday (the rest of the album is at Smugmug). Colin and Cameron are delighted because it's their second Easter egg hunt of the year, they got to leave the Sunday service early, it's the start of Spring Break -- and I've got the week off as well, thanks to HP "recommending" that we all take this week off. What's not to like? :-)
Separate topic, this time on how this photo got published to this blog. I've been searching for an easy way to post pictures from iPhoto to Blogspot (which hosts this blog). I installed Picasa for the Mac, which I like in general. But it was taking a long time to refresh its database with the iPhoto pictures. Plus, I'm not sure I want my entire photo collection re-thumbnail'ed and re-indexed just so it's easier to post to Blogger.
In Googling for a solution, I happened across Pixelpipe, which is a much more general purpose publishing service. I'm giving it a whirl. You'll see this picture here and in Twitter and in Facebook all at once, something I did just by exporting the picture from iPhoto once. Still have work to do on making the posts more friendly (by default it labels your post with the filename), but seems very useful.

On the road to geekdom...
Yup, it started early in our family. Here are the boys visiting their virtual animal pets at Webkinz.com.Lest you think only the boys are geeks, Katye is in the office playing from our Mac. :-)
Cameron is surprisingly adept at navigating the fairly complicated Webkinz.com world given that he barely has the fine motor skills needed to control a mouse -- oh, plus he can't read.
