Sharing Photos with Flickr (or any other service for that matter)

My friend and co-worker Jason recently came back from the Hamptons, and wanted an easy way to share his photos with all of the people that were there. He put together instructions for how to use Flickr groups, and was kind of surprised by how many steps where involved.

I mentioned this briefly in my post about keysuite and contact tagging , but I wanted to emphasize this trick/practice on its own .
Someone somewhere in the world of user interface design decided that all lists should be in alphabetical order. This goes for folders windows, folders in outlook, categories in [...]

Workflow: finding an apartment in NYC

After moving to the city a few months ago and going through a mad dash to find only a 3 month sublet (that would hold me over till I found a more permanent place), I decided before I repeat the process I need to have an efficient workflow in place.
