Cool toy of the moment? This is a good idea for people like me that are constantly needing to charge their digital camera or their ipod.

I just couldn't resist sharing this with you, we've all had this moment at some point in our lives... just not on camera.

Hey riel, what’s the best way to share all these pics and flip video we have of Email? Create a blog or something? you must know....thanks, n

I get this question a lot, so I've decided to post this answer on my blog so I can reference it for others later.



Sign up for a Gmail account http://mail.google.com (it's free)

Then go to http://pack.google.com

Download Picasa, Firefox with Google Tool Bar (don't grab google desktop unless you have a really good processor)

Next off you go to http://blogger.com - sign in with your gmail address
sign up for a new blog... make a post have some fun.

Go open Picasa on your computer, from within picasa you can hit the big B button to post a photo directly to your blogger account.

From within gmail (top right) or in Picasa, you'll notice that there is googles online photo sharing service,(picasa web) you can also use that to create a slide show, store galleries etc.. here's one of mine : http://picasaweb.google.com/djriel/SnowingInVancouver

Finally, for video storage head on over to google video http://video.google.ca/
you can again sign in with your gmail account and then upload videos there
Again from within the interface, when you're watching your / or any video
there is a blue button on the right side that says "email / blog / embed"
hit that, it'll open up and you'll see a link to post it to blogger
you can then write up some text, and it'll embed it into your blog for you.

All very slick and easy once you get used to it.

You can also use the google toolbar (you might have to go into options to add the B button to the tool bar) to blog directly - so highlight whatever you want in a document or on a webpage, hit the big orange B button ... and it'll pop it into a quick post box for you.

A further cool thing you can do is go into your blogger settings (on the site) and set up a mobile number - they'll give you an address to mail to, you can then mail photo's off your camera phone straight to your blog (text in your quick message and then edit it later on the computer)

Welcome to the new age :)
