Thank Guy Kawasaki for posting it….

Stan Wigmore came up with this answer.

The suggestion of using a rain coat to cover your head and shoot thru the sleeves works well and is the cheapest.

If your camera does get wet or moisture collects inside,you can dry it out by using Silica Gel,the stuff that comes in the little packet with the box your camera came in.You should save all the little packets because one is hardly enough.Stick the camera in a sealed plastic bag with them and let it sit over nite.Best way is to buy a can of the stuff,abit expensive about $10-$20 a can,but it can used over and over again.
I pour it into a large ziplock gallon size ,just enough to cover the bottem about a inch or so and put a paper towel on top,then put the camera on that and zip it up and let sit over nite.The gel sucks up moisture from the air and out of the camera.When done just open the ziplock and put it on a window sill in bright sunlight and leave it for a day or so.The heat from the sun drives out the moisture from the gel and it’s good to go again.

Jeff Jarvis has recorded a great little video on sharing of information. Well thought out and to the point. In today’s world there is just so much to share that will help others with their work and what they are looking for. It has also never been easier to share with the advent of YouTube, Facebook, Google+, Blogs, websites (what is that?) and much more. You don’t need to be an expert at technology either. Take a listen to Jeff….

This is stolen from a post by Trey Ratcliff. According to him the THIRD most asked question “How do I post a BIG photo from the libray”? By the way you can find more on Trey Ratcliff at http://www.StuckInCustoms.com

*Long version:”
1) Click on “Photos” on the black bar at the top. This will take you to your Picasa album.
2) Go navigate to the specific photo you want to share.
3) Copy the URL.
4) Go back to Google+ and do a new post and Paste in the URL
5) Additionally, you can add whatever descriptive text you like to the post. Perhaps a little story or something… go for it… we like the little stories and micro-thoughts that bounce around your head… you’re not alone, you know.

I have done this below by selecting this photo, as you can see in the URL at the bottom.
