I used to live just round the corner! Near the junction of Bay Area Blvd and Space Center Blvd. I expect there’s a plaque or something.
- Easiest way to add GPS lat/long to photos in field? - ASK COOL TOOLS

My wife and I have tried a few solutions. I currently rely on taking a photo with my iPhone at the same time and using that photo’s data to position my “real” camera’s photo on Flickr (or, very recently, in Lightroom 4). Obviously, it’s far from an ideal solution.
My wife does a lot of travelling to out-of-the-way parts of the world that have poor coverage on online maps (particularly those on Flickr), which makes positioning photos tricky. After much frustration she tried one of the GPS trackers - the film-canister size ones - mentioned by others. She found it a pain to set up on a Mac and never had much success getting useful data to match up with photos. She soon stopped using it.
Eventually she upgraded her old camera and, after much reading of reviews, bought one of the few smallish cameras with built-in GPS, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004HYFX0C/ She used it recently and it Just Worked - she uploaded photos to Flickr and, with no manual intervention, they were all positioned on the map.
While I’m keen to buy a new camera myself, I’m now thinking I should wait until the ones I want have GPS built in. Non-GPS-enabled cameras are starting to feel broken.

Was this at the Inspector Spacetime exhibition? What series was the striped suit from? I don’t remember that.

Maybe you’re doing the wrong kind of typing? http://www.flickr.com/photos/philgyford/6538354609/

I’m pleased you liked my photo enough to use it, although you should have asked first. Unless Gawker has become a non-commercial site?
Another accounting application, for Mac, Windows and Linux is Moneydance: http://moneydance.com/ I’ve been using it for years so can’t really view it objectively any more, or compare it to any alternatives. But it seems to do most things for me and the folks behind it seem alright. Some of it is slightly too US-centric though, and it’s more of a personal finance tool rather than for companies.
For what it’s worth, people I know who use Xero really love it, which isn’t a sentiment you hear often about finance software in my experience.
