Great Google Gadget! Beach Landscapes... I LOVE this one!


I don't know why, exactly, but sometimes my Internet Explorer loads the content of an iframe but does not display it until I click inside the iframe and hit "refresh." Sometimes, you just have to refresh the inside of the iframe to make the good stuff show up. This is worth the effort. Then refresh it again to see a new image!

Photo and Image Storage

My favorite has to be Photobucket.com but maybe that's just because I've been using them for so long. Navigation and custom folders and subfolders are all very easy to set up. There's also Flickr and Snapfish.

ALSO SEE: How to Leech Pictures from Flickr or Google Images

And have a look at these fun thingamabobs: MyPictures3D for the ultimate in picture organizing and saving and sharing and also see the virtual reality fun of 3Dna, which is kind of hard to explain so you just have to go see it -- you can organize all your files and links with it.

Dumpr (an odd name) is a fun online utility for playing around with and then sharing your image files. Place your image on display at a museum with onlookers or put it on a Rubik's Cube, among other things. Many links for instant posting to blogs and such.

Here's a few examples:

An old family photo in the "museum setting." I'm the little geeky kid in the middle.

A photo of writer/director/producer/actor/computer genius Ben Affleck done up as a "pencil sketch."

A picture of me with the "alien effect." Yeah, I know, I know... this is what I look like in the early morning before I've had my cup of coffee. LOL.

Me, as a "rubik's cube."

No, you DON'T have to be stuck just linking to them like I did here. As stated, they can directly link your picture to many different places including blogs and MySpace and Facebook, etc. Plus, you can save any image to your hard drive.

Picture Trail lets you create imaginative slideshows with your pictures then store and share them with others. I know Photobucket does the slideshow thing, too, but it's pretty standard - one picture after another rotation. Picture Trail takes that a step further.

The Infinite Cat Project

I do love cats and there's no such thing as too many kitty pictures, right? So whoever thought this website up is a genius. From the website:
The story of a monumental concatenation...

Shortly after the turn of the false millennium, or early in the year 2000, I was cruising a favored Apple computer forum and chanced upon the picture you see to your left. That's Frankie, the progenitor of the Infinite Cat Project, admiring the beauty of a flower. (Major kudos to Paul Hamilton, owner of Frankie, for kicking this whole thing off.)

Not long after that another visitor to the same forum beheld his cat growling at the picture of Frankie and summarily posted an image of that event. I thought this sequence held promise and had my own cat, Poozy, join the queue, a progression that now boasts over 1400 cats.

There's always room at the table for one more kitty. So join us, won't ye?
