Trying the cloud

I love how this piece of marketing has caught on. It is so reassuring to think of all your stuff floating up in the sky, safe from all harm. That is so much better than the notion that it is being stored in some giant data center heavily dependent on local infrastructure.

We just got new phones (the old ones will be in service for a while yet) and I am trying out the photo stream that mac offers. So here are two similar photos to compare.

They are both of my newly assembled drawers for the shop cabinets.
This one from the camera.
This one is from the iPhone.

The camera definitely has better quality while the iPhone photo is 2.2 MB and the camera photo is 1.7 MB??????

I have more to learn about digital photography.  The camera has a higher resolution than the phone but how does it get that with fewer MB? Comments welcome.

Weather is still perfect, if you are a duck. I'm going out to the garage to get the cabinets ready to receive drawers. The set up has to be perfect or the drawers just don't slide that well.

Stay warm and dry.
