There is no better place than home

Lack of bandwidth to upload pix from the road, and lack of .... *rephrases* presence of too many distractions.... I have been taking pics but they are trapped on my phone and I haven't set up anything to get them off - doing it OTA uses too much bandwidth.

Today I took the ferry to San Fran and explored Pier 39 with Tim and his daughter. I also went on a WWII submarine, practically ran through it taking photos so I wouldn't miss the ferry back. We loaded up the car with stuff. *STUFF* You wouldn't believe the stuff that's coming back with me - and it all gets us further down the road. Thank you Tim, for the hundredth time

Just got back to my hotel after visiting the TechShop in San Francisco (it's the oldest location)... Very cool, but with a very different emphasis to ours. In some ways, ours has worked out some of the kinds and mistakes of theirs, but in others, theirs has some cool features I would like to see at ours.

BED!

So Dave, you have an iPhone...

I can use my iPhone to upload pictures to Flickr.
Steps:-

• Set up a Yahoo account (if you don't already have one)
• Get the "Camera!" ("Camera Awesome" by SmugMug) app from the app store
• Take picture using the "Camera!" app
• Edit picture using the "Camera!" app
• Use the forward "button" to upload to Flickr (the first time you do this, the app will ask you to create a Flickr account, use your Yahoo account details to sign in)
• Now your photo is on Flickr in your public area of your Flickr account
• So goto m.flickr.com to view
• If you want to get the link info, I have not found a way using the mobile site, so go to http://www.flickr.com
• Go to your "Photostream" (from "You" on the menu)
• Move to the top right of the web page and use the forward "button"
• Use the "Grab the link", copy it and then you can add the photostream link to your forum post
  Note, when using a computer, you can also get the direct links for each photo.

Job done

I "dislike" Flickr and I "more than dislike" Yahoo! I also don't like using "cloud" services...

That said, I have my laptop with me, so, hehe...

Its an arm wrestling machine with ermm Is'nt that the famous Diamond Backs Mexican wrestler?

Nope! It is quite famous though. Ask your teenage or 20-something daughters if they recognize it.

Is "dos caras", "enmascarado", or "masked" WWF superstar (depend of country his name changed, in Spain is "enmascarado").

Nope. This mechanical game is far older than any of those.

As the machine is not an actual wrestler I assume Dave is refering to this?

It is at Musee Mechanique if you want to go wrestle it in person!

Winner winner chicken dinner!
