Meet the Geeks on Tour - Jim and Chris Guld
Computer Education for Travelers

I became aware of this couple when I was looking for material to use
when teaching basic image editing using Google's Picasa. It's an amazing
FREE program from Google that can be useful to
all photographers, no matter their skill levels.

Meet the Geeks  - from their own site:

"Hello! Jim and Chris Guld here. We are computer support professionals and have been since the early 1980s. In 2003, we took to the road in our motorhome and now travel the U.S. full-time giving seminars at RV Rallies and generally helping RVers and RV parks with their computer needs.

The Geeks on Tour website is an online classroom for Travelers who want to learn to use their computers for managing digital photos, making blogs, and use maps and other online resources. Anyone can watch our free sample videos , read articles on our our free monthly newsletter, or Picasa weekly tips. A small fee makes you a 'member' and you can then view any of our 130+ video tutorials on these subjects. If you're an RV traveler and you have a Web site, please add it to our list."

Beginner's Guide to Using Picasa 3.5

"If you've been following Geeks on Tour for any time at all, you know that we are huge fans of Picasa. Picasa is the free program by Google that does everything you need for managing your digital photos. We have more 'Show-Me-How' videos on Picasa than any other topic.

Our tutorial videos have even captured the attention of Google and they flew us out to their headquarters in California to record a webinar on Beginning Picasa with them.

You can sign up for our free Picasa Tip-of-the-week. You can also buy the book we've written on 'Beginner's Guide to using Picasa 3.5. You can buy the printed book along with a DVD of all the referenced videos - or if you already have the videos by virtue of being a member, you can buy the book as a downloadable eBook."
