UPDATE October 2019: I have created a web application that can be used to generate a portrait pattern using a process similar to that described below. Portrait Pumpkin Application This is the step by step process that I use to create portrait pumpkins of my family each year. Getting Started […]
So I played around with the Google Earth integration in Picasa and it is neat. It is very useful if you don’t have a GPS or GPS data for your photos, but it does not automatically correlate the photos with any sort of GPS information. The best I could do […]
Picasa 2.5 has recently been released with a few new features. I like the new screen saver that just cycles through your photos (I like the option to view all starred photos). I dislike the prominent placement of the “Save Changes” button that backs up your originals and replaces them […]

This plugin replaces those ugly titles with an excerpt from the post body. http://notions.okuda.ca/wordpress-plugins/blogger-title-fix/
I have upgraded the GPX Viewer mashup script to version 2 of the Google Maps API. There are only some minor changes to the API and some of the objects used. It doesn’t make the script any better, but now it is more likely to be compatible with future versions […]
Well, it looks like I have been beaten to the punch, yet again, TripTracker.net has a nice, easy to use, interface for showing GPS track logs and adding photos to maps. This is on my to-do list of things to do, but someone already did it. I’ll just have to […]
