Last year, my parents lost a lot of digital photos in a hard drive crash. It was very tragic, because they had not backed up any of those photos. They had the Picasa software to help them with the backup, but I had never explained how to use it. I have apologized many times. Picasa is now a free program, and can help save your photos, should some disaster or failure ever occur.

This is a free program for Windows or Linux. Allegedly, Google is also working on a way to port it over to OS X, as well. Ponzi and my Mom both love Picasa. It’s very simple to use. Mom recently wanted to know how to upload photos to the web. I told her “well, just push the web albums button”. Yeah, that’s all there is to it. You can upload an entire folder full of photos through the Picasa client, right to your free Google photo account. Google gives you a Gigabyte of free space, just for this purpose.

You can also log into your Picasa account online, and upload photos directly that way. You can change several different options in your account. Choose your album cover. Change the look of your layout. Heck, you can even embed a slide show using any or all of your photos. It’s also easy to re-download albums should you ever need to.

As far as I’m concerned, Picasa whips all the other photo applications’ backsides. It’s an amazing program, and I sincerely hope you’ll give it a try.

Adobe Photoshop Elements on Vista is a post from Chris Pirillo

http://live.pirillo.com/ – Yes, Photoshop Elements works on Vista. It’s a good little program, with an ok user interface. There are also other good programs out there to quickly and easily edit your photographs… even some free ones!

Adobe Photoshop Elements combines power and simplicity so you can do more with your photos. If you’re looking for a user-friendly photo editing program that is great for most levels of computer users, this is an excellent choice. It has very little learning curve to it, unlike some of the more high end programs. Personally, I use PhotoFilter. It is for more advanced users, but it’s an awesome program. I’ve also used Picasa for many years. If all you need to do is basic cropping, maybe some red-eye reduction, then Picasa is definitely the way to go. Best of all… Picasa is free now that Google owns it. That’s right, you heard me. FREE.

There are many good free (and pay) photo editing software out there on the market. The chatters are throwing out programs like Gimp, Paint.net, and even Photoshop Proper. Decide what you need to do with your photos, and do your research before buying any picture editing software.

Google to Google, Dust to Dust

Google to Google, Dust to Dust is a post from Chris Pirillo

Does anybody out there use Google’s Hello? Hello!? Yeah, Hello – the photo-sharing IM service that integrates seamlessly with Picasa and Google’s Blogger service. Here’s the problem I have with Hello: none of my friends use it. My real question is: why isn’t Picasa pushing people to use Google Talk, instead – and why isn’t Google Talk incorporating Hello technology? Argh.

VMware and Parallels for Virtual Machines

chris@lockergnome.com (Chris Pirillo) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT

It doesn't matter if you're running on Windows or Mac OS X - every power user needs either Parallels or VMware (or both). There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with VMware and/or Parallels.
