There's Something for Everyone, Online

I guess the Internet really is a buyer's marketplace. My father, who can barely (and grudgingly) manage email has no use for the Internet. When I try to tell him all of the things he can do more efficiently online (check the weather report, make travel plans, buy movie tickets, read a variety of international news sources), he usually tells me he prefers to do things 'the traditional way.'

Well, I think I've found something you can't do the traditional way....have a cyber affair. Sure, everyone knows that people meet and cheat online all the time, but there is actually a business created to facilitate it. Talk about a niche market! Not the meeting part, but the cheating part. That's what I'm finding so over-the-top about this concept...anyway, something for everyone, I suppose.

It does make me seriously consider dropping our Internet service at home, though. Wonder if I should tell my dad about this service next time I'm having one of our "progress is good" debates?!?! :snicker

Disclosure

now that I know that people I know are actually reading this thing, I do feel the need to disclose the fact that some of my posts are sponsored. That is, I get paid to post and link to other sites. For the most part, I try to accept sponsored opportunities that match my interests, so it may not always be obvious to a reader which is a sponsored post. However, sometimes, I'm going to be less discerning about the opportunities I take (hey, that trip to WDW is going to cost money, you know!), so consider yourself warned.

Very Cool

I think that since I have owned a digital camera (just since 2005), I have probably taken more photos than I did in all the years leading up to then. It is just so easy to snap away, and as a result, I end up with so many great photos.

The downside, though, is that I rarely print them out. As a result, except for the professional portraits I have of the girls, our house is pretty bare of any photos from the past two years.

So, I was pretty intrigued when I heard about the digital photo frame. I have to say...this is such a cool idea. Basically, you can load photos that you have on your memory card right to the digital frame and showcase photos and movies on your walls, in the same way you would a printed out photo. What is really cool about this is that you can load montages, movies, or just swap out images as easily as inserting a memory card into a drive. This way, you don't have to belabor the decision about which single item to display...you can display them all. They also play sound, which is really nice for movies, or for putting music to montages.

I'm already eyeing up our walls to try to figure out which one would work best.
