There are a lot of services that have come up in recent years all of which are designed to provide a level of photo storage and/or to provide you a way to “back in time” to see pictures that were taken n-number of years ago.

And it’s fun, right? I mean, who doesn’t dig seeing what they were doing, tweeting, or sharing a year, two years, …, or 11 years ago?

Such is what the Internet has brought us.

Anyway, when I set out to find a service that I wanted to use to backup all of my pictures and videos, I was looking for several criteria:

• Unlimited back up
• Web application
• iOS Application
• “Memory” feature to see things that happened over however-many-years ago

There’s a lot of options out there for this – some are free, some are paid, some require Facebook for authentication – some do part of what I wanted, some do other parts of what I wanted except for Picturelife.

Over the last few years, the categories and tags on this blog have renamed consistent. That is, the categories with which I started out with haven’t been changed, removed, or have seen any additions since I’ve been running this blog.

Generally speaking, I say that’s pretty good – it means that all of the content that I’ve wanted to share has fit within the categories that I originally planned. As such, when I set out to write about the things that, y’know, originally wanted to write about, I had defined the focus of the content and have done relatively well at keeping content consistent within those categories.

Today, I’m going to be adding a new category to the blog (I know, I know – call down, right?) in order to support some upcoming articles that I’ve been planning to write but never really had the desire, need, or want to do so.
