tiny, happy pictures

I learned how to get pictures off of (and on to) my phone! It's really easy, especially if you have a mac and Bluetooth on both devices. You can download every cellphone pic you've taken, and you can even upload whatever jpg you want and make it your phone's wallpaper. Here's a sampling of phonepix:

There are two basic ways to get from New Hampshire to Massachusetts, and I usually pick the way that goes by this overpass:

Also no relation.... yet?

Looking good as usual, Strong.

My phone (LG, Verizon, bluetooth) will not download to my Mac no matter how many times I hit it with a hammer. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, RBL. Here's what to do (works with a Motorla PEBL, anyway): use iSync (in Apps folder) and the bluetooth portion of System Preferences to get a connection going, (you also need to enable bluetooth on the phone, which can be obscure; look in Tools -->Settings -->Connection -->Bluetooth -->Setup -->Turn On, or something like that) and then use Image Capture* (in your Applications folder) to pull the images off your phone; you might have to tell Image Capture to "browse devices". (You can use the Bluetooth File Exchange app [in your Utilities folder] to upload pix to your phone). Simple, yes?

*Incidentally, if you're sick of having your mac auto-open iPhoto when you connect a camera or compact flash card, the way to turn this behavior off is in the preferences of Image Capture. Tell it, "When camera is connected, open : NO APPLICATION". Obvious, yes?
