It simply sits in the taskbar of windows, monitoring the files and folders you tell it to, and whenever they change, it compresses, encrypts, and uploads the newest version of the file to your off-site backup (learn more at http://www.nerdsbackup.com). No more disks, usb thumb drives, burning CDs - just install this program once, and never worry about backups again - it takes care of everything!
NerdsBackup is free to download and install on your own, and costs $2USD/Gigabyte/month (1 gigabyte is about 500 digital pictures!). You get a free unlimited 14 day trial, and all accounts can be used for unlimited number of users and computers to simplify billing and for convenience.

Personal Picture of the Month
Hello,
Lisa and I have done a fair bit of traveling, and I love taking pictures - so, why not share them! This will be a monthly thing (10th of the month).
This is a picture taken up in the mountains near Luang Prabang in Northern Laos. We traveled there with our friends Jennifer and Brandi. We taught with Jennifer at the same school when we were in Korea, and Brandi joined here about 3 months before the end of her contract. We had an absolute blast driving out into the middle of nowhere and swimming in and tanning around the beautiful turquoise blue freshwater for a couple of days. Keep your eyes pealed for the two Saskatchewan sisters next week - they arrive here for a visit on June 15th - the date our house unofficially becomes a B&B for the season!
A picture of us 4 trouble makers is below the main picture.

Go Grandma Go!
Just had to share this one - my Grandmother won the volunteer of the year award for the Leamington Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards for her volunteer contributions at the Leamington Hospital and Tourist Information booth (it's a big red tomato in downtown Leamington). Go Grandma Go! A good example to follow. Love you lots!
