A Picture Says Stuff

Recently I stumbled upon a new hobby I didn't know that I was interested in; Photography. Using our tax returns this year, Colette and I decided that we would get a new camera. We've had a Canon PowerShot SD750 that has been treating us quite well. Unfortunately while point and shoot cameras are great for every day family memories there are a lot of things that they cannot do. As a result we got ourselves a Canon EOS Rebel XS. For those keeping score that is a DSLR camera.

What's that humming noise?

A couple of days ago, our overlord in the clouds Google released Buzz onto the unwashed masses, and then the next day everyone else. I'm sure that anyone who bothers reading this has already had some experience with Buzz so I won't bother explaining what it is. What it does though is bridge even more gaps win the Google suite of cloud based applications.

So far I'm really enjoying Buzz. I get to see pictures and stories that friends find interesting, chat and email is stuck right in there. You can even have entire conversations that friends from any side of the party can comment on. Essentially it's all the stuff I like about Facebook, without having to actually go to another website.

I'm looking forward to how Wave and Voice are going to fit into all of this
