Trays of Stuff

I have trays of stuff.

Trays are good for organising one’s accumulations.

I could do with more trays, and have spent time trying to devise variations on a theme of trays.

I like trays.

Today, just a little while ago, I had a tray of nuts, bolts and other hardware out, because I was making a hinged doorstop.

When I was putting things away, I wondered if I’m ever going to use the casters I’ve collected.

At about the same time, I thought that a photo archive of my stuff would be an interesting artefact.

Particularly if everything was in trays.

Sort of like this.

Except that I’d have to have bigger trays for shoes, for pots & pans, maybe even for books and computers.

I don’t have any trays that big. So I’m not going to make a photo archive yet.

For now, though, here are 5 more trays:

POI Editor

Am thinking about devising a map-based survey of derelict places, and am looking for ways for respondents to add points of their own to a web-based map.

So I need a survey tool, and a mapping tool. Have looked at Twtpoll as the possible survey tool. Seems friendly enough. But am wondering if I can get Google Docs to do a map-based survey.

On my way through the various sites turned up in a search, I found POI Editor, which makes gmap-based GPS data files via the gmap UI.

Here’s how. (The screen animation is made with XnView and MyTheme Online Photo Editor)
