As you’ve noticed the site has a new look to it.  What you may not notice at first glance is that our photos page has changed.  I’ve changed out the underlying functionality that pulled pictures from our photo sharing site.  The new version will be much faster, more stable and just plain cooler when it comes to looking at the photos.

I am still in the process of uploading older photos to our new image sharing site (Google Picasa).  So hang in there as I get them online.  All the photo gallery here on the site does is pull in the images from my Picasa web albums (RSS feed for you geeks) on our blog.  This saves you from having to remember to check here for posts, there for pictures, etc.

For those of you that are interested in going to our photo sharing site directly, there are some cool things that you can see there that you won’t see there.  For example, as my buddy Bill explains, Google has recently added some very cool face tagging technology where it picks up on who is in your pictures via face recognition technology.  As you can see here, you can browse my albums by who is in them (again, as I add more pictures this will become more useful).

Anyways, I figured I’d share some of the details on the new stuff here.  Stick around, I know we’ve got a few good posts that we’re working on and lots of fun stuff to share!  Hope you all had a great holiday and are ready for another football season!
