This and That

I finally figured out a way to get the photo off my cellphone without emailing each and every one of them separately - I used a bluetooth connection to my Nook Color after I booted it into a hacked version of Android! and transferred the lot (I think about 160 of them from over three years). I then connected the Nook Color to a PC and copied them into Flickr.

Where there is a will (read: stubborn old cuss), there is a way.


This one made me think, "Now why did I take this photo? And then it occurred to me - it is in the "stupid signs" folder. Perhaps you see what I mean... "End No Passing Zone"... Huh? Sometimes I wonder about the intelligence of our highway engineers.


I saw this sign while in Florida a while back - and I thought, that reminds me a lot of someone that I know... that can't get out much. So I took the photo and sent it to them - to say "Hello". Now I wish I had bought the sign!


Someone was thinking about me when they saw this - it is a USB memory stick, and it had all sorts of SpongeBob computer wallpapers and backgrounds - and even some computer themes with SpongeBob mouse cursors on it! I get a Squidward instead of an hourglass!


Another Florida sight that made me stop and say, "Oh! Wouldn't someone I know like to see this!!"

So anyway, that is where the collection of this and that photos you see in my Flickr came from...

The first picture reminds me of when you did a post on where you worked. Isn't that a building where you work at?

Neat you figured out a way to transfer your photos, Iggy. I still haven't quite figured out how to email them from phone to computer (but I'll get there).

Cute pictures; I loved the one with the sign. I opened up the picture so I could see it clearly what it said. There is a sign here that says "no turning on red between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. on a school day). Now granted that would be okay if it was right by a school and you could figure out it was a school day, but it is several blocks from the high school??? So if you didn't have kids in school, how would you know that it was a school day?

I liked the picture of the dolphin with the sunset and that sign; good advice to bloom where one is planted.

I would imagine with a lot of photos, having to email them individually would be a pain. So far, I have not taken a lot of pictures with my phone, so have not worried about it much. I recognize one of those pictures! ;-)

I knew you would find a way:) The phones now a days are almost better than a camera for taking photos. Interesting group of photos:)

Always love seeing life through your camera lense. Kinda neat how entertaining our world is if we take a moment to enjoy it.

There's always a way, if you have the will to keep trying until you figure out what it is!

I do enjoy a stubborn old cuss! ;)
I'll have to head over to your flickr site.

Awesome! :)

I've never had a phone that could take photos before. Those are usually "smart" phones and I'm not smart enough to use them, lol! So...I have a "dumb" phone.

Love your photos, as always, and I'm glad you figured out a way to download them! :)

Looks like you had a wonderful time :D

was that Mandarin you were speaking?

Jacqi Stevens said...

Know exactly what you mean...having to email each photograph separately can be a drag when you're talking those kinds of numbers! That must be handy to be able to figure out how to hack into something and make it work the way you want :)

Morning, where there's a will there's a way, you found it. Blessings Francine.

I'm a bit late in commenting, but fun post. Our highway "engineers" posted a sign on either side of the elementary school here that says "end of school zone speed limit", but nowhere is there a beginning school zone. I keep thinking they'll come back and finish the job.

Hope you are doing well and enjoying some bright sun shiny days!

no body puts up stupid signs better than Texas.
