Random Thoughts X (The 9th Regeneration)

I need to get our pictures more organized/all in one place. Kindergartener needs a baby picture for "B" day Thursday. Pull up pictures on new computer, not there. Go to old computer, find the pictures. Go to print. That computer no longer hooked up to printer. Upload to drive, switch back to new computer, print. I am horrible with baby books, and considering she is #3 there are very few printed pics. Next year the 6th grader will have a big project that will need lots of pictures. I had better start finding them now.

This is part of why I constantly nag husband that we need to print pictures more often. After last computer crash about ten years ago and many recovery efforts that got most of the pictures back, we now have an online backup and do print some off every couple of months. I prefer having printed pictures for grad parties too and not everyone huddled around a computer screen.
 
I get some of the dumbest requests.
"We set up something to send an email and it takes like 2 minutes before we get it. Could you set up something to send it faster?"
Do these people think email is IM ?

have you used Google photos at all? DH still hasn't bought a new camera (he's got 19 days!) so I just use my phone and it all ends up on Google photos. Not sure if you can search by content but it sorts by date (and album if you have them sorted already) and is pretty easy to pan through.

All my phone photos are on Google photo--my free space is almost full. But I have at least 3 kids who were pre-smart phone. ;)
 
For those with kids or future kids (cough CG cough). We have used Lifecake and everyone seems to love it. Basically it makes a timeline of your kid through photos using the metadata in the photo to put it all chronologically. You can give family members and what not a link to view and post themselves. For LittleWx's first birthday I downloaded everything from there and put it in a Flickr album to have scrolling on the TV during the party.
