Finally, a solution!! Why Keep Reading?  This post will enable you to... 1) Free up storage space on your computer to make it run faster 2) Access all your photos easily and quickly, from anywhere 3) Share your photos privately and quickly to whoever is in your photos 4) Get cool collages and compilations that are enjoyable to view... automatically 5) Back up all your Data I'm the kind of person who loves taking and having pictures.  I enjoy being able to pull up a photo at a drop of a hat.  I also love efficiency.  The problem is, as storage on computers expands, so do the size of photos and videos.  So no matter how large a storage device you may have, your old photos keep getting lost on old hard drives because your new computer can't handle all of the storage from past and present photos.  Also, every program you own is trying to sync your photos causing mass confusion of where you find your photos, and how many copies of a photo you have on ...

A good friend of mine from http://breakthetwitch.com/ is experimenting with minimization.  He and his wife are going around their home and throwing away things to minimize what they have.  With that rise of the minimization movement, I am curious if that is truly 'the best way'. I do think minimization is great from a simply environmental perspective.  The less you have, the less your environmental footprint.  But I am also a strong believer that there is no perfect tool that does everything.  And usually an almost perfect tools is perfect at doing one task.  So by that thought, the less you have the less tools you have.  Thus, the harder it will be to perform most tasks. Have you ever tried to drive a nail into a piece of wood without a hammer?  Or unscrew a screw without a screwdriver? Of course I am not suggesting a different tool for every single task you need to perform because then an organization an space problem would occur an...

The process if you have your iPhone stolen is a messy one. And unfortunately, even though it is extremely common, there are many holes and improvements that could be made. For instance, if your phone is ever recovered by a noble person, and it has a password lock on it, could it ever find its way back to you? Under the current process, I don't believe so. There is no real way to link the stolen iphone back to its owner. Lets try this experiment, if an iphone with serial DNPJFA3KDTTQ is ever recovered, and you find this blogpost by search, please let me know! Idea: there should be a website for owners of lost/stolen iphones to post the serial numbers with an anonymous email address attached so that contact can be made between the people who find the phone and those who lose it. Supposedly with Apple's Activation Lock the phone cannot be activated anyway, so what happens when it is stolen?

With so much going on in life it is easy to want to keep doing and not waste time tracking progress and making charts.  And luckily for us, with the use of technology we don't really need to any more! Balancing checkbooks is a thing of the past.  Bank error is a very low percentage (disclaimer:  unfortunately I couldn't find the actual rate). Since I am not a fan of wasting time, and I am more of a big picture person with a knack for visual and searchable data, I strongly recommend the use of https://www.mint.com/ to help keep track of accounts. Lets face it, when was the last time you compiled all of your account statements and graphed all the data yourself?  Probably...never.

Santa Claus is a novel idea, a way to promote the belief of something fun and magical with children.  But is it the best thing for kids?  After talking to a friend and hearing his take, it completely altered my perception about Santa Claus. The belief is that if you are good you get on Santa's good list, and if you are bad you get coal.  So lets say a kid who has been perfectly good comes from a less than fortunate family and the parents have recently lost their jobs.  That Christmas the kid may not got very good or any presents at all, while the rich (and not necessarily well mannered) kid next door may get many wonderful presents. From a chid's perspective, if Santa is magic, the grounds should be leveled.  The quality of gifts would be distributed based on the good or bad actions of the individual that year.  Therefore if you are good and receive less than stellar gifts it might leave the impression that the world is even more unfair and biased, ...
