Geotag your photos with Picasa 3.5
Maps and photos. I can’t think of two things more near and dear to a traveler’s heart than maps and photos. Being able to combine the two is the ultimate. But, being able to do it *easily*?? Well, that’s not possible is it?
It is now.
Picasa (the free-from-Google digital photo management program) released a new version last month. And one of the major improvements is in the ‘Geotagging’ feature. Instead of requiring that you use Google Earth, they have embedded a full Google Maps ‘Places’ pane right into Picasa. Placing a photo at a place on the map is as simple as clicking on the photo and clicking at the place on the map. I show you how to do this in the video below.
Note: You can make it play in full-screen by clicking the icon in the lower right of the playback window that looks like an X .
If you’re new to Picasa, or want to learn more, I’m excited to announce that I’ll be co-hosting a webinar (seminar delivered over the web) with Google on November 13. Register for the free Picasa Webinar here.

Go Leaf Peeping Now, Before It’s Too Late
Ahhh, wonderful fall. The waning warmth from the sun brings a welcome chill from summer heat, migrating birds start heading to their southern range, and deciduous hardwoods begin turning red, orange, and yellow heralding the leaf peeping season. Sugar maples give up the green for eye-popping reds, orange and brown tones come to the stately oaks, and white-barked aspens put on a display of vivid yellows and golds. But if its aspens that trigger your camera finger, take your pictures now, as aspens from Arizona to Colorado to Idaho are falling by the tens of thousands.

Making Modifications to Your RV
I get asked these questions alot: “Is it safe to modify my RV? What about my warranty? Will it be voided?” There is a lot of misinformation floating around about what constitutes a safe mod and what will void your warranty if you do certain kinds of mods. Many RV owners tend to be the “do-it-your-self” types and enjoy “doing the mod”. If you fall in to this group, you should carefully consider the implications of certain mods. You know that really expensive extended warranty that covers your RV “bumper-to-tongue” after the factory warranty runs out that you added when you purchased your new RV? It won’t help one bit if you do a mod that causes a failure on a covered part. So let’s look at what mods are safe to do and what just might cause you some grief down the road if you are not aware of your warranty conditions of coverage.
Round Belly? Crunch It
By Lynn Difley
The most common question I am asked by students and fellow Rvers is what is the best thing I can do to trim my belly? It seems a universal annoyance, the fact that as we age, our six pack turns into a keg shape and refuses to reduce no matter how we frown at it. First of all, let me say that there is no way that a 60 year old belly is going to be as flat as a 20 year old belly.
