2008 is the year of weddings!
I've had two friends get married so far this year, three more to go and I hope to add my own to it in the fall.
In the past few years I've planned on announcing my wedding online instead of sending out invitations. This is especially after I found out that I'm about the only person that actually keeps wedding announcements that I've received. So, "to heck with that" is my attitude toward paying for full color photos toward a mailing that just goes on a refrigerator for a month and then into the garbage.
This is why it has been great to see the latest announcements online. Here are a few:
Most sites cost all of $4-5 a month and are easy to update and modify without any HTML or website development experience. One of the side benefits of web 2.0 technology.

Blog Pickle - the Napkin PC - the wave of the future?
I will give credit to Adam for finding this amazing PC design of the future.

This is a great idea for those of us that still like to write down "stuff" that comes to our minds even if we are tech savvy and prefer to be paperless in other areas of our lives.
Take a look at the thumbnails on the site. It explains it better than any words I could use.

Blog Pickle - Wikis and blogs
Great resource on combining the wiki and blogging technology. This person also has instructional technology experience that she brings to her insights and information.

Blog Pickle - photographers
I visited my cousins blog - http://metcalfcrew.blogspot.com/2008/05/wedding-pictures.html - and saw her recent wedding pictures.
She also had links to some of her photographer friends. I'm posting them here:

Also, I found a link to another photographer - http://www.jonmcbride.com/ - at Erin's blog ( http://erinannie.blogspot.com/)
Visiting these sites led me to other photography sites and I'm continually amazed at the new round of creativity taking place in wedding photos. It's not just the strict posing anymore. It's really catching those unforgettable moments.
The wedding videos are becoming amazing as well, as I found out on Chi Wei's blog at http://www.chiweiandstacy.com/

Blog Pickle - a wiki
My first blog pickle is actually about a technology I learned about through Mark Oehlert (who I will link to later because his blog is stopping up everyone's computers).
The wiki technology is all the rage right now and I finally found out about http://www.pbwiki.com through either his blog or at a conference seminar I attended where he and his co-presenter shared with us. It's more personalized to individual/business needs rather than using the popular http://www.wikipedia.org that is more like a public encyclopedia...created by the public.
I am trying out PBwiki first for work because I have a lot of information that's in my head that needs to be shared with others, but I can see using it to capture personal history that you can freely edit as you remember more details about events or entire experiences that come back to you at later dates. The great thing is that it can be collaborative and so entire books could be written this way or expertise fine tuned.
Anyway, I thought it most meaningful and deserving of "blog pickle" status.
