I have written about Windows Live before but I keep mentioning it because it has some of the coolest toys on the Internet these days.

Yesterday I uploaded all 300+ photos that my son and I took when we were in San Antonio. I noticed that I have many sets that were duplicates so I began to use the collections feature Flickr has to offer. I had several sets about San Antonio so I created a collection called “Trips” that [...]
