In the morning I went for a shortish walk. On Saturday there is going to be a “No Kings” march and “democracy fair” at Rinconada park. People at CH are talking about car-pooling the ¾ mile to where they would intercept the march. I figure that we don’t need no carpool for that, but I wanted to measure the distance. Up to Waverly, over to Embarcadero, down to the park, back to CH. Turns it to be less than 2 miles. So that’s settled.
At 11 I joined a webinar by Smugmug.com. Smugmug is the photo sharing site where we put a lot of pictures we wanted to share. I have rather neglected our collection there for the past few years. But I’m a paying subscriber, so they sent me the invite to the webinar to show off some improvements. It was mostly about changes in the way they handle photo sales. Apparently a lot of members sell their pictures to people who order via Smugmug. I don’t, so it wasn’t too interesting, but it got me thinking about Smugmug again.
Last Friday I mentioned looking at the family photo album I had put together back in 2001. At that time I scanned all the “kodaks” in the albums my mother had made for me, and I believe on of Dennis’s also. Scanned and fixed up in photoshop, and organized and commented. Now I think, hell, I could put this collection into a Smugmug gallery as a simple way of getting it back online and shared with the 2 or 3 people who’d care. So I started doing that. It’ll take a few more days to finish but I made a good start.
