Thing #7 - blog about anything technology related. Okay, let's not get too specific here guys! I think I'll stick with what it seems I've been blogging about all week. Digital photography! It's so amazing what you can do with your own personal pictures these days. I have a basic point and shoot digital camera. It's an olympus 750. It's slim and compact and I take it everywhere with me. Photography is definitely my favorite form of art, and technology today makes it easy for me to display my masterpieces. There are tons of websites that let you share your photos with the online community. My personal favorite is, of course, Flickr. I talk all about that site in this post.
Shutterfly Is another favorite photo site of mine. Here, you can upload your digipics and get them professionally printed in all the standard sizes, even poster size or printed on artist canvas! You can design a full color custom photo book with your pictures, you can put your photos on coffee mugs, shirts, bags, jewelry, mousepads, and more. Why not turn your favorite photograph into a puzzle? Shutterfly is oozing with creative juices. I can't imagine what advanced technology in the future will bring to the table for photography, and I can't wait for it either!

Exploring Flickr
For "thing number 5" (explore flickr), I decided to blog about some of my own photos! Of course, it's going to be pictures of my baby Jandy.
I think I have a million pictures of her saved on my computer. She's a mutt - australian shepherd and shar pei. She's so much fun to photograph because I catch her in the craziest poses.
These are two of my favorite shots of Jandy. I sat on the floor with her that day and took about 10-15 pictures of her just being a goofball :)
I can spend hours and hours on flickr. One awesome photo always leads to another! It's also a big social network. You can communicate with your fellow photographers by leaving their pictures comments, or responding to comments they've left on your pictures. There are thousands of group pools with specific themes in which you can add your own picture that fits with the theme. You can invite other people's photos to join you in the pool as well, and participate in group discussions on the group message boards. You can also subscribe to someone's photo stream, and when any of your "subscriptions", aka contacts, post new photos, you can see them all on one page.
As you probably realized by now, I'm completely sold on this whole flickr thing. I've been posting my pictures there since march, and I think I'll stick around there for a long long time =)
