This is one of the best (if not the best) software to manage digital photograph collections. It has great built-in catalog features, as well as full-array of photo touch-up and editing. Even though it started out (in version 1) as an iPhoto wanna-be for Windows, version 2 now left iPhoto in the dust in term of features, functionality and ease-of-use.  It also works well with the photo-publishing add-on called “hello” that allows you to pubhish photo on a weblog with just a couple clicks.

Best of all, Picasa 2 it is free. http://www.picasa.com.

This is the ultimate mapping site. Though late to the game, Google’s map (http://maps.google.com) is so much better than other, and check out the satellite view, it’s just amazing.
