Buying the New Yorker 1976 - page 61

Honest to God, I was looking at this for ages before I realized that it wasn't food.



So anyway.

When you upload an image on Blogger, it ends up in your Picasa account. The wierd thing is that once you have an image in your Picasa account, you can't manipulate it in the layout as well as when you were first uploading it (This is probably due to Blogger and Picasa having started out as seperate companies that were both absorbed by Google)

A while ago, Blogger made a big announcement about how they had migrated all the photos from the Blogger web locker into Picasa. This was excellent, as there was previously no way that I could find to actually get into my Blogger photo locker. This annoyed me.

A while ago, a chunk of the photos from the Blogger photo lockers were loaded into Picasa, but only some, with the announcement that, in time, more images would be transferred. None have. So the earliest photos that were loaded in are still in limbo somewhere.

The reason that I'm agitated is that when you lose a link or an image upload doesn't work (which happened a lot more in old Blogger) the image is just out there filling up space and taunting me.

Anyway I bring this up now as a roundabout way of letting folks know about my new "Buying the New Yorker Picasa Gallery"

Thrill to the sight of old favorites like: The Oxford Scholar Vacationeers! Natural Unplucked Beaver Woman! The Very Touchable Welsh Moleskin Smock! And of course, This Guy:




I love him and wanted to have an excuse to post him again.
