Photo crazy

My mother's company very frequently has contests to encourage high sales and customer satisfaction. My mother is very good at her job so she frequently wins these contests and scores prizes ranging from ski trips to kick ass gas grills to digital cameras. A few months ago she won a digital camera. She already had one but the prize one was a 2 megapixel camera and supposedly took great photos. The problem came when she installed the software and literally could not figure out how to get the photos from the camera on to her computer. My mom isn't dumb nor is she a tech newbie. The software, apparently, just sucked. So last week when I was at her house my mom gave me the camera. I was terrible excited. 2 megapixels kicks ass, particularly when you compare it to my like 4 year old digital camera.

After installing the software I can absolutely say that my mom was right, this software sucks ass in a major way. Didn't these people test this shit before they sent it out into the world? It's really that bad. However I'm a wee bit more technologically advanced than my mom and I was able to retrieve the photos and I have to say that my mom's frustration with the software was definitely my stroke of luck because it does take really good photos. So I'm planning on going photo crazy in the next few days. If you look at the very bottom (for the moment, I may rearrange) of the sidebar you'll see the photo albums that I'm uploading.

Here's a sample:

Grace, Grace everywhere.

and a note - I'm sending you "Basket Case" not "Sick Puppy."

Is three comments on your various websites in about a 5 minute period too much?

Yeah, maybe.

It's absolutely not and I'll change the book on the list right now.
