photo organization
A while back, I was looking for some software similar to Apple’s iPhoto. I really liked iPhoto, especailly after seeing Croft demo it for me on his mac. I searched for a PC alternative and found Picasa. The software was okay, but lacked some of the nice features and only had a thirty day demo or some other restiction. For whatever reason, I ditched it. I’ve been using ACD Systems ACDSee software for some time. It’s okay. The other day, Slashdot had a note that Google aquired Picasa. So, I downloaded their free software and wa-la! In seconds I have inventoried photos. I have a lot of work to do for organization on my part, but that will come in time. If you don’t have a copy of this software, get it! It’s well worth your time.
Now I can get going on those WebCT Conference Photos I’ve been promising.

I’ve heard that Picasa is a very nice alternative to iPhoto for no-Mac-having losers, and now that Google owns it, I’ll probably give it a try on my PC. Glad to hear you liked it!
