Getting the Most from Your Old Digital Camera

Posted in How To, Memeo Share, Photo Sharing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on November 20, 2008 by memeoblog

I, for one, am a little tired of hearing about the economy. It isn’t that I don’t care, I just never hear what I am supposed to do about it (other than not panic). All I know is, I am tightening my belt for leaner times, and part of that means fewer gadgets and toys.

Maybe you are like me and you have a camera that is a couple of years old, has some scratches and dents and is no longer the best/smallest/coolest camera available. I remember when I bought my Casio EX-Z600, it had the largest LCD screen available. It was so sleek and tiny, I didn’t bother to read the owner’s manual, I just dove right in.

And now, a few years later, rather than buying a new camera, I am breaking out my owner’s manual to see what features I may have been over looking. Luckily, I save everything, so I still have a hard copy handy. But, if you threw yours out along with the packaging I recommend checking out Digicamhelp. They have a large collection of owner’s manuals from a variety of vendors. Read more »

Your Camera and Cold Weather

Posted in How To, Memeo Share with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on November 18, 2008 by memeoblog

istock_000002814710smallWhen you purchase something like a digital camera, you know you should take steps to be certain that you get the most from your investment. Doing things like buying a camera case to keep the lens from getting scratched, and to keep debris from getting in can help lengthen the life of the device.

But have you ever given any thought to the optimal operating temperature of your camera? Living in sunny Southern California, I don’t think I have ever given pause and wondered if it was too cold to use my camera. Which is why I was interested to learn that most cameras can be damaged if they are exposed to temperatures above 110F, or below 32F. While you can purchase special cameras to withstand these extremes, unless you plan on taking a lot of outdoor photos in Vermont, you are better off learning how to make do with your every day camera.

The Flip Digital Camera!

Posted in Just for Fun, Memeo Share, Notes from Product Management, video sharing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on November 12, 2008 by memeoblog

flip_ultraOne of my new favorite tech toys is the Flip digital camera made by Pure Digital. I just bought mine a few months ago and already there is a significant upgrade, the latest version records in Hi-Def. I haven’t used it yet, but chances are my current camera will be gifted to a family member this holiday season so that I can get the new one.

It comes in a bunch of colors, but if you want to customize it even further you can upload your own graphic, and they’ll put it on the camera and ship it to you!

So why all the excitement? Read more »

Sharing and Preserving your Children’s Art

Posted in Backup, How To, Memeo Share, Photo Sharing with tags , , , , , , , , , on November 11, 2008 by memeoblog

When the fridge has no more magnets and the holiday season is in full swing you have to wonder, as a parent, what you are going to do with all the scraps of paper and art work that is sent home weekly with your child.

You want to praise them for a job well done; you want them to feel creative and appreciated. But short of wall papering your dining room with all their homework, there isn’t a convenient way to display everything. And forget about trying to save it all, unless you have an attic or you won’t miss your garage…

More Reasons to Celebrate than it Being Friday!

Posted in Company Information, Friday Humor, Just for Fun with tags , , , , , on November 7, 2008 by memeoblog

This week Memeo celebrated a momentous occasion. We outgrew our old office (many times over) and moved to the fifth floor, quadrupling our floor space! We have been experiencing exponential growth, so this is actually our third office this year alone! We can’t hire fast enough (hint: check and see what jobs are posted on the website).

Along with our weekly Friday cartoon, here are a few photos of the new place:

To Download or not to Download

Posted in Memeo Share, Photo Sharing, video sharing with tags , , , , , , , , , , on November 5, 2008 by memeoblog

That is the question I ask myself every time I hear about the latest new software craze sweeping the nation. I want my computer to run quickly, and lots of freeware bogging down my processer and startup just isn’t attractive.

Which is how I can understand why some people might take one look at Memeo Share and think that downloading the software is just too much work; this is a total bummer when it is your friends that decide not to download the software. Here you are setting up sharing circles, posting your fave photos and no one is accepting your Sharing Circle requests!

There is a simple way to solve this problem Read more »
