Travel
with Dick and Jane
We've got a lot more
pictures to link here, so check back frequently if you're into that
stuff (or email us and we'll tell you when we add something)
It's not OK,
Google: For the past 12 years, I've depended upon a great program (on
both the Mac/PC and the cloud) called Picasa. Unfortunately,
Google has replaced these two programs with the cloud-based Google
Photos. They've moved my cheese in an attempt to make a better
mousetrap. Despite my trauma, I'm converting the links
below. (If you find one that doesn't work, please email me and
I'll
try to fix it somewhat promptly, perhaps before I die.)
Realizing that I
have way too many pictures piling up, I am listing almost everything
here so you may want to know what you are getting.
- Unless marked as below, the item links to a more-or-less polished
travel album (lots of commentary and some really bad puns) (Tip: older
ones have much more commentary than the newer ones)
- Stuff labeled "in progress" reflects some stab at making sense of
the pictures but these are unfinished attempts at the above
- "Backup albums only" are just that: If bandwidth allows,
every night when I
travel, I back up my camera card to the cloud, and that's what you're
looking at. Given that I may never get around to curating a
slideshow with weird commentary, I figure this is better than nothing
(bit you can be the judge of that).
