Would you like me to make a reservation for you at the hotels I stayed in?


Would that be an imposition? Can you also see if you can get us
discounted rates?

Actually I've addressed the situation you mentioned for my own purposes.
Starting this year, I've geo-tagged every photo I've taken. That means
that encoded in the EXIF data is the precise lat/lon coordinates I was
standing in when I took the shot. The software I use to do this will
export the geo-tag data as waypoints that can be used in Garmin's
MapSource software. This way, when I look at a photo 10 years from now,
when I'm even more old and feeble than I am now, I won't have to remember
where I took the shot. All I have to do is look at the EXIF data and it's
permanently written right there. Cool stuff.


Mrs.E. asked me what camera(s) you used to make the ebook. I told her I was
fairly certain it was a Nikon, but I didn't know what model. Also, did you
use the same camera for all the photographs?

I wish you hadn't asked. He'll probably come back and tell us it's an $85
Canon point and shoot he picked up at Best Buy two years ago.

The E-3 has a NEMA input that will do that automatically.

Pretty cool.

Hes' a snapshot taker - he uses a Nikon naturally.

Only us artists use Olympus.

Nikon D200, all shots with the exception of the last page. My wife took
that one with a Coolpix P5000. I just listed the D200 on Craigslist
yesterday. Time to move to the D300.


Get a real camera - an E-3. :)

So does the D200, but the adapter cable is expecting to see an old-fashioned
serial port at the other end. The last GPS I bought that had a serial port
was my Garmin V. I replaced that some time ago with an eTrex Vista Hcx,
which uses a USB port as do all the newer units. Anyway, I use a system
that doesn't require the camera to be tethered to a receiver.
www.robogeo.com. It works flawlessly, and there's a bunch of stuff you can
do with the data.

Now that is WAY cool.

When I start using my E-3, I'll have to get one of those.
