Remember where your pictures were taken with GPicSync
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Do you remember looking at the family picture albums with Grandma, she would flip from page to page explaining when each picture was taken and where. Usually there was something on the back that would indicate where and when the picture was taken. Fast forward to today and to our digital cameras we currently have. The internal clock on the camera does a good enough job keeping track of the date but how do you know where the picture was taken? This is where GpicSync comes into handy. GpicSync can add your Geocode into the picture data. “GPicSync automatically inserts location in your photos metadata so they can also be used with any ‘geocode aware’ application like Picasa/Google Earth, Flickr, loc.alize.us, etc.” So now 50 years ago not only can you tell your grandchildren where and when but the exact coordinates of where the picture was taken. With GPS radios plummeting in price its only a matter of time before your standard digital camera is GPS enabled doing this for you, but until then theres the manual but very cool GPicSync.

Zero in on the Perfect Password
I know I know, passwords are a pain but you do need them. Using a weak password or worse yet using the same password for everything can be a hackers dream come true and nightmare for your once thought super safe account. While many sites alert you to weak passwords very few of them actually help you create a strong password. Thats where “The Password Meter” comes in handy. Type in the password you are looking to use and The Password Meter will grade your password and tell you whats missing in order to have the best password you can.
Stream Live Video from your Cell Phone
So it had to happen, now that data plans and smart phones such as the iPhone are as common as over exposed tattoos on a beach we’re seeing a whole new way of approaching the internet, through a ity bity screen and a half assed camera. If you thought video on the internet is pretty hot well wait until you get a load of this. Using your cell phone and a data plan you can stream a videocast live. Thats right, like a super duper twitter your friends can follow your travels of lameness right along with you. So imagine this, tons of people streaming live video at the same time up into the internet. Two things you are bound to see in great numbers are extremely lame video (albeit live) and someone is going to figure out some way to put some nudity up there.
Why sell your house, just swap it!
We’re back!
So after months of intense work in the real world my attention is now turning back to Noheat. We’ve made several attempts to come back to live with some ghost writers over the few months but at the end of the day I decided taking a break from writing would be better than filling the pages of Noheat with garbage. So we’re back to a mostly daily writing routine now. I’ve been working on some Nascar software for kids that has been a rather tight deadline sucking up my every waking hour. We are coming to a close with that project now and I am starting to find my footing writing again. After living in Nascarland for a while I am glad to be coming back to Noheat with a fresh perspective and full of content.
Common Sense and a Gas Cost Calculator
The world has gone gas price crazy. To read CNN you would think that the last barrels of oil are on their way right now. Articles like this article from CNN prove just how far crazy things have gotten. Buying a $9000 Geo Metro to save gas just defies math. For one, the Geo Metro is worth only $500. So that gives you a vehicle that has to save you $8500 worth of gas. Even with my big 6 passenger Durango I could drive over 2 1/2 years on that gas. With an average car you could drive 5 years on that gas and equal the same amount. After you are done with Geo you have a vehicle that is worthless and more than likely have to be junked causing environmental damage. While the average car will keep on trotting along and will most likely be sold returning some of your money. During your tenure with the Geo you will suffer along with no amenities (most likely no air conditioning and crank windows), extremely bad acceleration (you won’t be able to get out of the way of traffic), and crash worthiness of a beer can. Its true the US uses too much foreign oil and alternatives need to be found but common sense seems to be something we are lacking more than oil reserves. If people bought vehicles that fit their lifestyle and purchased the greenest car they could we would be vastly better off. We in no way need to resort to buying beer can cars, the solution to our problem is buying the best car, the longest lasting car, the most logical solution for our daily transit. For that reason I am including a Fuel Cost Calculator link, this way you can do that math and see how much you were spending last year and this year and then make your own judgment. For me and my gas guzzling Durango my extra expenditure this year would be about $600, far out weighing the hit on resale I’ll take if I were to trade it in.
