Have you ever tried to upload a photo or other image only to have them rejected because of size? I certainly have. It's annoying. There's a remedy for that at Online Image Compressor. It's super simple to use. Just drop your image or images into the area marked "Drop Your Files Here" or click on the button "Upload Files" and let the image compressor do the magic. When it is done, you will see a comparison of the original and compressed images. You will have a choice of redoing the compression or uploading a zip file of the image or images that you've compressed. When you are happy, upload the images and unzip them. They should be small enough to share them on the website of your choice. I was able to reduce two images of over 8mb to around 430K. There was color loss and some edges were jagged, but it was more than acceptable for the reduced size! The ZIP file went through a VirusTotal scan before being opened and came back clean. It contained two images, which was exactly what I expected. The website has a couple of sane, still advertisements and no pop-ups on Firefox with no adblocking. The instructions and site tools are clearly separate from the ads.

I'm not sure how many people know about the odd problem that YouTube had a while ago with kid's videos. It was a strange one. Mixed in with perfectly ordinary kid videos were bizarre Elsa/Spiderman/Joker/Etc videos with adult themes of self-harm, inappropriate toileting, strange pregnancy and sexual innuendo. YouTube has tried to slap down the offenders, but the videos are still popping up occasionally on the YouTube Kids feeds. The feeds are auto-generated by an algorithm rather than curated by humans, so yeah, that's going to happen. Parents have to be super aware of what their kids are watching on YouTube Kids because it can get weird really fast when it moves to the next video on auto-play. This site is the remedy to that. The Kid Should See This is an awesome site with all kinds of educational and fun videos curated by real humans. You can hoover over any of the categories at the top and you will be treated to a drop down of a few videos in that category. Click on it and see a plethora of educational and fun videos like "Playing Piano Under A Sleeping Cat" in the music category. Clicking on Random is also fun. There are also curated collections by the staff. They include topics like Legos, The Human Body and Poop (but not the inappropriate kind as above). Or just click on the first link you come to and follow the links below. I watched "The Very Hungry Maggot" thinking that if I was going to get something that kids would like, it would be this. Yep, starts out with puppies as a sort of eye-bleach at the beginning and then you go to a lab dealing with the food-chain. We eat chicken, maggots eat our food waste and chickens eat maggots. Beautifully explained with squiggly, wriggly maggots. The ads are small and unintrusive. Clicking on one, even by accident will not result in unintended consequences. Give the site a try. Hand it to your kid on your tablet, laptop or even your phone. It's really cool.  Sorry about how late the post is. For mother's day I figured that I'd make mobile wallpapers for moms to be!
