New Blog Post: My Favorite Campsite

I tell you what, man, pictures are tricky. There are so many ways for them to get messed up (for the quality to be reduced). Here are some ways it happens: - If the place you upload it to compresses the pictures. For example, Facebook does this. A lot of places you can host pictures do it...
