Official Google Blog

via Picasa 3.5, now with name tags and more.

This is a very cool feature that I’m really excited is now available.  Will probably take a long to time to go through all our pictures, though!

BTW this post is a quickie via the new “Send to” feature of Google Reader that I learned how to make work with Wordpress.

I was reading a blog post that was only written for the purpose of explaining how to pronounce the author’s name. One of the comments had a great link to a website that gives excellent help on pronouncing names. The site is plainly called Pronounce Names.

I looked up my last name, Nolte, and sure enough it was phonetically spelled very well. It even has an audio widget so that one can listen to it.

The other name that gets butchered a lot is my wife’s: Rachelle. They got it right once again, but no audio recording yet. You can record and submit your own version right through the site if you’d like. I’ll see if I can convince her to do that tonight! :)
