In the “Real World” we are easily able to analyse situations and generally make good decisions.

For example:

The transport driver next door buys a new truck, which allows him to increase his profits by 50%. Do we go out and buy a new truck so that we can increase OUR income? Of course not.

I’ve been using the free Photo management program “Picasa”   for the management of my photos for ages.

It’s the best application I’ve used for removing red eye, sending pics by email, making albums, etc. etc.

The latest version, 3.5 now adds many new features like geotagging and face recognition.

I LOVE face recognition. Picasa scans your hard drive for photos, and presents you with the faces. You then start putting names to the faces, and google will start building albums of the photos where a particular face appears.

As you provide feedback on the selections it makes, it gets more and more accurate with its identification.

After the process finishes, you can click on someones name, and see all the photos in which that person appears. You can then export these to a folder, make a slideshow and upload it to YouTube, or perform various other tasks with them.

If you are already using Picasa – grab the upgrade.

If you’ve never used it before, download it and prepare to have all your photo management problems solved.

Download it free from www.Picasa.com

WordPress is a fantastic website platform that is now extensively used for blogs, websites, and a combination of both.

But it has 2 very different faces that most people don’t know about. Which can cause a great deal of confusion when WordPress is discussed.

Both versions are free, which adds to the confusion. If only wordpress has given them different names . .
OK, here we go. This will be pretty painless.

For most people, starting an online business involves finding a website developer, and then going along with whatever the developer says.

While this may seem easy and convenient, it also has many dangers. The main one is that you can easily lose control of your website and your entire online business. You can also become locked into an arrangement where any change to your website will be time consuming and expensive.

I want to take you back a couple of steps, and share some basic stuff about websites and online businesses that most people don’t know. (more…)

A local neuroscientist leading a team of 10 people in groundbreaking Altzheimer’s research has lost 6 months of research data and analysis.
Because his laptop was stolen. And he had no backup of the data.
