Playing with Picasa

Where I'm staying has slow wireless, so as I was waiting for email to load, I decided to look more at some of the many programs I have on my computer. The program I choose was Picasa 3 (a free program from Google: http://picasa.google.ca/

Due to a history of problems with my computer, I keep my files on an external hard drive, which I didn't plug in tonight. So the only photos I had to play with are the photos I have on my laptop - which consist primarily of photos for my desktop.

While I was playing with Picasa, I noticed first the Collage function, where you can create a collage of a series of photos. Then I noticed there was different settings for the collage, from the typicall pile photos, to mosaic, frame mosaic, grid, contact sheet, and multiple exposure.

After playing around with the layout I found the page format and noticed the Desktop Background button that turns the collage into the desktop background.

Below are the desktop photos I created:

• First the Pile Collage with nature photos I took (mostly from Scotland, but a couple from a plane over Brazil, a couple from else where in the UK, one from the Netherlands, and one from Canada)
• Second the Mosaic Collage with some of those nature photos (removed some to make the mosaic look somewhat good)
• Third the Mosaic Collage with some hot guy pics I have as backgrounds..... and as I am attempting to keep this blog 'clean' the guys aren't showing much more than a hot ass ;-)

If you want any of these as unwatermarked desktops, just email me and let me know which one: nudecanadianboy@yahoo.com

World of Warcraft - The Internet is for porn (YouTube)

A friend showed me this, so I thought I'd share:



Info on YouTube:
Please note, I didn't make the video and I don't take credit for it. I happened to find the video on FilePlanet and downloaded it to share with you all here =)
Adapted for World of Warcraft, the song is from the musical Avenue Q.

Bill 44

As I mentioned a few posts ago, I really should have commented on the absurdity of Alberta's Bill 44....

Luckily a friend sent me this vid to point out the positives in the bill...

Additions to the blog

So I have been thinking of a few ideas to help myself post more than once a week.

One idea I have is to post my thoughts on some current event once a week, say Sundays.

I have noticed on a few other blogs I go to that aside from HNT there are other weekly posting, which I am going to start looking into (such as TMI Tuesdays) - though I'm not sure yet how to find out about some of them.

If anyone has other suggestions, please let me know. Usually something simple would be nice, as my life does tend to be busy.

These changes, like the Sunday Reflection, may take a couple weeks to appear as mentioned in my previous post, my laptop is in the shop for repairs and that limits my internet use (good and bad).

Please post any suggestions you have to this post :)

Happy Independance Day

Canada Day 2009!

Happy Canada Day everyone.....

... I'm in the office attempting to work, to earn money to pay for school.

Therefore today's post is almost a repost of last year's post....

I have reinstated the photos on last year's post, and I now direct you to that one as my full Canada Day blog post:

Enjoy.
