Have you seen drop.io (drop’-ee-oh) yet? Well, do yourself a favor and check it out. It’s the future of file-sharing. It’s also a gentle introduction to an impending change in the way we do things – especially things related to file-sharing, e-mail and collaboration. (See Google Wave.)

The geniuses at drop.io have built the easiest, most fun way to do file-sharing ever. It’s free, and doesn’t even require that you sign up. You can create as many 100 megabyte “drops” as you like. And, if you install the Firefox plugin, file sharing becomes as simple as dragging files or directories onto your browser. I’m creating a drop with a couple hundred images even as I type this. I think dropi.io is simply amazing!

Congratulations, Mike and Myrna!

To me, the coolest thing about this reunion is that Kelly’s aunt and uncle were able to round up all of the bridesmaids and groomsmen from their wedding – fifty years ago. Amazing.

Mike and Myrna have this spectacular view from their remote ranch north of tiny Friant, California.

Bailey and Oscar tied the knot this weekend at a lovely ceremony. Luckily, they hired a professional photographer, which left me free to concentrate on the fun and the pretty girls!

See the rest of the pictures here, or if you would like an easy way to download them to your computer or have photographic prints made, view them in my Picasa web album. (Hint, for best results, install Picasa on your machine.)

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Lhotse. She’s growing up fast.

Andrew and I tasted a dozen Whisky’s last night at a nice event sponsored by the Whisky Shop. The tasting was held at the swanky E & O Trading Company, which means that in addition to the delicious spirits, we had fabulous food as well.

If you get the chance, I highly recommend you attend a whisky tasting next time you see one. I’ve been to three now, and they are always fun and informative.

We almost didn’t go this year. We thought that the temperatures in the low-50’s with heavy overcast skies might mean fewer scantily-clad revelers. Luckily, we were wrong.

As always, I had a hard time choosing my favorites to display above. There are so many more. Please take a look at all of the images by clicking here or here, and if you see anyone you know, pass it on!

Andrew caught this fantastic shot of Sophie and Ursula on their first visit to Disneyland.

thedude and Kellster like the shot so much that we made a magnet out of it and hung it on our refrigerator. That’s saying quite a lot, because like at least nine other people on planet Earth, thedude also hates refrigerator magnets!

The November full moon is cause for celebration in Taunggyi, Myanmar. The Hot Air Balloon Festival must be seen to be believed. It was a wild and wonderful way to end our trip.

As beautiful as they are, still images can not adequately capture the cacophony of light and sound. Have a look at the videos below to get a better idea.

Grant makes a pretty good case with this shot – frozen at 1/4000th of second.

With temperatures more than twenty degrees above the average for this day, thedude decided to take the smartie to NASA’s 2009 Exploration and Sustainability Exposition, where we saw some pretty cool stuff, including a car I’d love to own. Well, OK just the car is just a brochure at this point, but it’s still a beauty, isn’t it?

This was another opportunity to test my new point & shoot camera. I’d say the Canon G10 is capable of producing some pretty fine images! What do you think?

This was one of the most beautiful sights we saw during our trip to Burma. The parade was the first act of our most amazing evening.

The Balloon Festival in Taunggyi has to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest party in all of Burma. This incredible event takes place during November’s full moon, and has to be seen to be believed. These shots were taken as the sun went down and spirits began to heat up.

Come back soon to see the shots of the amazing parade.
