Blinds, use them, love them…

Allison and I live in our apartment above my parent’s place. We have a really nice living area and recently we moved from one side of the house to the other. The new room is much larger and much brighter. We put up some curtains from IKEA but the sun still comes in each morning. Luckily we get up early and need the help from the sun. However my new large windows are in direct line of site to the apartment that my brother-in-law and my sister have. And believe me, I know that Erik would appreciate if we got some wooden blinds for those windows.

Slickr with Flickr

The ever awesome Cali Lewis talked about Slickr on GeekBrief.tV episode #151. Slickr is a free screen saver software that allows you to stream Flickr images to your computer as a screen saver. You can pick th tags that you want or maybe a Flickr group that you follow. I downloaded it and set it to come up with photos tagged with Photo A Day or Photo-A-Day. The images I got were incredible. This is a very cool free download. I would encourage you to download it and test it out for yourself.

This also made me think, Do I tag my images properly when I upload them? Am I consistent about it? I think that I have not been that great about tags on anything so I will me more conscious of doing so in the future.
