Google Maps is the Dopest

So you know you're old when the only way you hear about sketches on Saturday Night Live is by listening to NPR. You know what makes you even older? Seeing a promo for Tom Hanks on SNL and having your first thought be, how does he stay up that late? Doesn't he have kids? Followed by the realization that you had no idea SNL was still on the air, and moreover that you don't really care because you probably wouldn't get any of the references anyway and the music groups probably feature singers who were born when you were a senior in high school.

That said, I did know all about Google Maps being the dopest, but I didn't know about Picassa. I downloaded it last week and have pretty much done nothing all week but take pictures and play around with them. As an information architect, I'd been wondering if I was going to just have to go ahead and design my own damn picture handling program, because every one I've tried is so awesomely bad you have to wonder if the designers are just fucking with you. Maybe they think you take bad pictures and don't want you to be able to find them, share them or edit them? In any event, hooray for Google for once again not only not doing evil, but for bringing joy to picture organization and satisfying all my obsessive photographic tendencies.
