BEWARE: I Just Saw an ad on Face Book for Photo Merchant....Holy crap they are High...

I just saw this FB ad for a site Celled PHOTO MERCHANT...WENT TO TAKE A PEEK...THEY HAVE 3 WEBSITE TIERS....9,19 & 49 $$$ per month... and no where could I find how many images you can upload....I have web hosting done by SmugMug and that now costs $150/yr with unlimited uploads and they have partnered with 2 of the best labs in the nation and I also Have an art related site at FINE ART AMERICA (FAA) does their own On Demand Printing and produces really nice Giclee images off a top line Epson Printer.  FAA  also has unlimited image storage, file size at Smugmug is right now restricted to 50mb and Fine Art America is restricted to 24mb...Fine Art America is Free so long as you do not need to have more than 25 images for sale....but at $30 per year you can afford to use it strictly for extra off site back up storage.....PHOTO MERCHANT IS SO DAMN CRAZY HIGH ... IT ISN'T EVEN FUNNY.

Just a thought about T.V. shows ... ... ...

I think this would be hilarious.... several really cool older actors are on the top shows now....
Take David McCallum - Ilya Kuryakin (man from U.N.C.L.E.) now on NCIS ... it would be funny as hell for a group of CIA monkeys to grab him just outside of NCIS offices as they all leave work and proclaim they had finally caught reknown spy Ilya Kuryakin ... next ... Greg & Dharma star - Thomas Gibson , now the staunch supervisor special agent Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner -- scene-: either have Dharma (Jenna Effman) or Larry - Dharma's hippie Father (Alan Rachins) be in a scene and when Hotch shows up they (singualary or together) both run to him as exclaim... GREG WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ...

THIS COULD SO WORK....for so many different shows...

New Tab for Facebook Fan Page

I have added a new tab to my FACEBOOK FAN page..it is a Shop tab, that allows anyone anywhere in the world to easily purchase my photographic work.  The images can be purchased as Canvas, Mated, Framed, Acrylic, Cards or just as an Art Print for you to mat and frame later on... Here is a link to the new part of my fan page ->>>> http://tinyurl.com/7q7m5yu

What was I THINKING....

Like a dummy, I went and spent approx 8 hours at a POW WOW...before going I did not have any where near full range of motion in my neck...and it hurt like H***.... ... ... ...well it really hurt, to just try and turn it or look up and down...so what do I do...i toss my camera harness to the side and attach my neck strap...yep that is right my neck strap with my D300+70-200f2.8 lens and off I go... ... 8hrs later I am driving home with really intense pain in my neck shoulders and top half of my back...all my muscles are tight, I mean really tight and each key stroke I make hurt real bad....but I am now off loading a few hundred images of various circle dances and people sitting around enjoying the drumming and chanting of the inter-tribal musicians...and I made a few contacts.... now the contacts are what make this venture worth while...
Good Night all have a great Sunday and Week ...

In Need of a Really Good P.I.M. (Personal Infomation Manager)

Looking for a bit help from my collection of really diverse friends ...
I used to run my life off the standard DayPlanner / Day runner and I would loose 2 or 3 a year...quite costly....then I met Palm and wow, my Palm TX with the add on keyboard was fantastic...it up dated the calendar on my destop or laptop so I always had back up calendars ... but alas my great little Palm will not work with Win 7 ... I have tried all sorts of hacks and stuff and it still does not work properly ...sooo where I need your help ...

Can any of you recommend a really great PIM (Personal Information Manager) that can be run say on a tablet and then update my desktop / laptop calendars ... I have found some that are portable (actually run off a usb thumb drive...not viable ...i loose those easier than the paper day planners ... 

PLEASE PUT YOU SUGGESTIONS IN THE COMMENTS SECTION BELOW

THANX IN ADVANCE ...

and if you're wondering...yes my Palm TX is still running great and it will be going to ebay with all accessories shortly to help fund a Windows 7-9" tablet to use as a Photo Portfolio and PIM only.

Blessings to all
