Just found a site that has created a very simple way to share images, video or other graphics files. It’s called Grafedia and basically it works like this: You go to their site, upload an image, assign a word to it and then tell anyone you want to see the image that they can get the image by sending an email to "TheWordYouCreated@grafedia.net".
I tested it out by uploading a picture of the junk I dug out of my yard last weekend. I labeled it "lowderjunk" so you can see it by sending an email to lowderjunk@grafedia.net. ***Important*** You have to make sure you put something in the body of the message for it to work. It can be anything…letter, number, favorite cuss word, etc.
You can also use the service with a video/picture phone. Simply send the picture/video to the address you want and it is automatically posted. So if I had taken the picture of my junk with a phone I would have sent it to lowderjunk@grafedia.net and it would have been loaded in the system automatically.
I read about this site in Cool News, which is a great business/marketing email newsletter.
If this is any indication of how my week is going to go, I might want to stay in bed for the duration.
Back on March 13 I posted this piece stating that the ACC wouldn’t be represented in the Final Four. To cut myself some slack I did make this prediction before the brackets came out, and yet I was only a one-point win by UNC away from getting it right.
I also said that if I was smart I’d say that only one team would get in, not none. I hate it when I’m right about being wrong…or whatever.
Some observations from the Sweet-16, Elite-8 weekend of the 2005 NCAA tournament:
Hopefully the final four will live up to this last weekend, but unfortunately that usually doesn’t happen. Good regionals=lame final four. Fire up the TIVO!
"Teachers now having to police student lunch boxes to help prevent childhood obesity. Parental responsibility surrenders" — Filed under "Obvious"
"Texas court issues stay of execution" — The guys at Fark.com filed this under "Unlikely." I agree.
As part of my business development efforts for Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals I’m heading to Park City, Utah for the Sales Intelligence Summit.
I’m looking forward to it for several reasons like:
I just gassed up my little Saturn. Over $20 to fill its tiny tank, which leaves me wondering how all my pickup or SUV driving buddies are feeling these days.
Time to invest in whoever is building the most/best hybrids these days. Anyone have a tip?
See that junk pile to the left? That’s what I dug out of one side of my property over the last weekend. It was buried under a layer of mulch.
From what I can tell it was left there by the previous owners when they built the addition on the back of the house.
Anyone need rotted 2x 4s, a 20" long 6×6 joist (very rotted), broken slate, metal rods, two 3" long neon light bulbs, a couple of containers of some goop or some very rotted press board? Give me a call.
