Since I have a ton of photos still to process but I want to share some of them with everyone, here is a list of the better ones I have already posted to TrekEarth:

One thing I really like about TrekEarth is that the policy is you can only upload one photo per day. This forces me to be extra critical about my pictures and only post the ones that I really like. Thus my TrekEarth gallery is of higher quality than some of my other galleries (or so I'd like to think.)     #>


Podbop. Rather brilliant I think, you give it a city (try a major one, like Denver, rather than a suburb like Arvada) and it will return a schedule of concerts with links to band mp3s right there, just listen and decide if you'd like to attend the concert or not.     #>


Use this whenever you call customer service. A spreadsheet to use as a call-log, so you don't have to desperately try to remember what you were told 4 months ago by the liar you spoke to on the phone.     #>

Hotel Gouging: Most Expensive Cities for Visiting Businessmen. My two-week stay in Amsterdam at the Marriott was $3,200. I'm here a total of 6 weeks. I'm very glad I switched to a credit card that gives me 2% back. I still cringe handing in these expense reports though, that total was just for the hotel, not including food and tram passes...     #>


Richard Dawkins Evolves Into an Irascible TV Host. Looks like I've found an essential download to watch.     #>


Neversummer Nordic Yurt Trip 2002. He went to the same yurts I did back in 2002 (my photos: Montgomery Pass Yurt Weekend 2002), but he put more effort into his write-up than I did.     #>


Lens Nicknames, from a DPReview forum post. Cute names in there, I wonder if the one is called the "Magic Drainpipe" since it drains your wallet extra fast to purchase it?     #>


Forget a thousand words. This picture's worth $2.9 million. I'd happily sell any of my photos for a fraction of that cost.     #>
