After being asked to interpret “Somebody call 911, shawty fire-burning on the dance floor” by my 6 year old (it’s more complex than you might first think), I was delighted to see my 8 year old took it upon himself to interpret the radio edit of “I’m in Miami Trick”.

This is how it went in the backseat of the car tonight

Radio: “Drink all day. Play all night….”

8 year old: “That guy just said he’s going to drink water all day and play video games all night.”

Both boys listen quietly until radio says it again.

6 year old declares: “Yeah! I heard it too!”

Glad they got that one figured out.

Long gone are the days when we’d invite the family over for a slide show of our latest vacation…although, I did notice that my Father still has his projection table in the garage. Anyway, today it’s all about email and digital photography and organizing an online album has never been easier.

One site that you can use to share your photos is Flickr. Here’s a step-by-step walk through.

1. Get a Flickr account

If you already have a Yahoo! account, then all you need to do is sign in using your Yahoo! ID and password.

2. From your flickr homepage, click on the “Upload Photos & Video” button.

3. Click on “Choose photos and videos”

4. Select the file you want to upload. You upload more than one picture, by clicking “Add More”

5. Choose the privacy settings you want (private or public). Then click the “Upload Photos and Videos” button.

6. A progress bar will let you know how the upload is going. When it’s done, you will see, “Finished! Next: add a description, perhaps? Click on the link if you’d like to add a description.

7. From this window, you can do several things: add a description, add tags, save the photo to a set (or create a new set, if you like). You can also change the privacy settings of the picture.

8. If you’re satisfied with everything, click on “Save”. You can go back and change any of the settings, and even delete and reorganize photos later.

Wasn’t that easy? Now you can show off your best photos to the world. You could even have your photos used in websites and other materials – that is, if you want them to.
