I was pretty bored today and was just messing around with Picasa...and I found the folder on my hard drive where all my album covers are stored. I realized that I can easily just upload the entire folder to Picasa Web and use the embedded slideshow feature to have a slideshow of all the CDs I own. Whole process took about 5 minutes and makes a cool to show of your taste in music...

I put this up as an example: http://www.backyardmarchingband.com/mycds.php

Anyone else have some favorite tricks with Picasa?

I am having fun with Picasa too...
I use this fuction to take my last pictures uploaded and display them on my blog: http://thetitoo.blogspot.com

I am using the about ther same thing for my videos.. Using Youtube and their last personnal video viewer.

And to make it easy I use the (pretty convenient) Firefox extension: FireUploader.
