Via Robert Wallis If you're leaving Instagram and need to grab your images before you sit down. .. Originally shared by Daniel Treadwell Easily copy your photos from Instagram to Google+ With Instagram recently causing an uproar by changing their TOS many people went looking for an easy way to make a copy of their photos.  Given that there weren't any extremely simple solutions I decided to throw one together for myself and others to use. Instagrab will ask you to sign in to both your Instagram and Google+ accounts, then with the click of a button will create a private Instagram album on G+ and copy all of your photos across.  Transfers will be queued up, so if it isn't happening right away please just a wait a while as there are likely others using the service. I'm a little late in releasing this as I got a little caught up in the holidays but figured some may find it useful.  It didn't take too long to put together as I have a bit of experience integrating with bo

Xeno Phrenia doesn't like having a discussion and can't seem to do so without swearing and name calling, so I have to share this: Actually, people do make toast, the toaster is the tool by which a majority of us do so. We could also use an open flame or a hot pan/skillet. But I think in her zealous hatred of firearms, Xeno Phrenia  failed to read this part of the post she, herself, originally shared: _But here's the deal, it's not entirely about the guns. The guns are just one fraction of the problem. It's mainly an issue about psychological and mental health. That's the key point that everyone seems to be aware of, but too many are glossing over. Not only this mental health issue, but other mental attitudes, such as the violence aspect of Americans must, in my mind, seriously be investigated. _ Guns don't kill people, people kill people. It's true. Just like the toaster doesn't load itself and push the lever down. A person does. The above segment fr

Will you be staying with Instagram? I know a lot of people are already preparing to shut their accounts down, some choosing to go with EyeEm (which won't work for me) and others like Streamzoo (which I really liked over IG anyway).

So it looks like Instagram will be having a mass exodus soon. I decided to try out EyeEm as others appear to have been doing in the wake of IG new ToS. I have been using Streamzoo in conjunction with IG for nearly a year and it appears as though EyeEm doesn't bring anything new to the table. So far, with EM, I'm not thrilled. I don't see how it does anything new or different than Streamzoo and it crashes on me left and right. Streamzoo has better photo editing controls and a really good desktop interface, to boot. I'll probably stick with SZ for now.

Lauren Blocked Me for Being a Troll

Image
Somehow I was labeled an internet "Troll" by Lauren after daring to post on one of his anti-gun Google+ posts that the real issue with Friday's massacre isn't that people have guns, it's the people themselves that are dangerous. He deleted my comment and then commented that no "NRA propaganda" will be allowed in his stream. I then posted a comment asking why my post was deleted then, since I did not mention the NRA (I actually dislike the NRA) but merely stated it's people who go about shooting others, not guns themselves. He then deleted my comment again and said he blocked me. I'm getting really fed up with with internet, lately. Especially Google+. I have "known" Lauren for years. We have talked many time about politics, technology and current events. Now that I think about it, he never comments on anyone else's posts but his own and that's after  someone comments on his. Regardless, how is trying to have a discussion abo
