  1. Serious question for you photogs. I have a bunch of photos in jpeg files that are about 10-15 times the normal memory size of a jpeg file. These were photos taken by a pro and I’ve been told some are “large format,” whatever that means. I am finding it difficult to upload these to Snapfish. Any recommendations? I found snapfish’s outsourced customer help of little use. They did not seem to understand the problem.

  2. Seems that John Maynard Keynes & I have something in common….

    Jan. 25 (Bloomberg) — John Maynard Keynes, the English economist with the bottlebrush mustache, has been celebrated, appropriated, mocked and rediscovered, says historian Peter Clarke. Perhaps it’s time to find out who he really was.

    Clarke, a former University of Cambridge professor, brings the suave iconoclast to life in a succinct and balanced account, “Keynes: The Twentieth Century’s Most Influential Economist.”

    The book falls into two sections. The first presents a lambent biography, providing glimpses of Keynes the stock picker, Rolls-Royce owner and sexual adventurer who kept a list of his homosexual partners from 1901 to 1915. Most were friends, Clarke writes, though there were casual pickups, too: “Stable boy of Park Lane,” “Auburn haired of Marble Arch,” “Lift boy of Vauxhall.”

  3. “cmu, my sis hired movers who specialize in piano and other fancy instrument moves. She really liked the service and it was very reasonably priced.”

    Good service is of the utmost importance when having one’s fancy instrument moved.
