Strange things delight nerds like myself. It’s a phenomenon that nobody can quite explain. Thanks to modern technology, we geeks can easily snap photos of delightfully nerdy stuff and have them almost instantly uploaded and displayed for the viewing pleasure of others.

The easy part is taking pictures – It’s publishing them quickly that can be a pain. I’ve been using a combination of Snappermail and Flickr, along with my Treo for a little over a year now, and it makes publishing photos totally quick and easy.

First, I got an free account at Flickr, back when Yahoo! hadn’t bought them yet and the founders weren’t zillionaires. Once my account was setup, I read up on email uploading thru Flickr, which is pretty straightforward – Flickr generates a “secret” email address that posts any pictures you send to it.

Then I got SnapperMail setup on my Treo.

Now all I have to do in order to upload new photos to my Flickr account is snap a shot and send the photo as an attachment to my secret Flickr email. Spiffy!
