Kit’s Visit

Kia is between Portland (for a forum) and SLC, UT (for a family visit) from about the middle of last week til about the middle of this week.  Over the weekend, she flew my best friend, Kit, down for a visit.  We had a great weekend, and got to catch up on a lot of talking.

It occurs to me that after nearly 15 years of friendship, I have very few good pictures of her.  So I took quite a lot this weekend.  The better selections from the visit have been uploaded to my Zooomr account.

What is Zooomr?  Well, let me put it this way:

flickr + fun toys - intuitive functionality - speed - reliability - upload restrictions - file limits = zooomr

The name is a perfect example.  Flickr dropped the er and went with just an r.  Fair.  Zooomr copied that formula and jammed an extra vowel in their name.  Flickr offers photo hosting with comments, descriptions, notes, views, rotation, different sizes, tags, and EXIF data.  Zooomr copied that formula and crammed in geotagging.  I figure flickr will be adding geotagging soon, but I’m already over my file limit, and don’t want to pay for more (because I already pay for my own site … just too lazy to install and figure out Gallery…)  Fortunately, they probably won’t feel compelled to change their name to fliiiiiiiickr.

Oh, right.  Here is my page.
