You and your crazy family are on welfare, you hate the “projects”, love the country. What do you do? Terrorize your neighbors, get a free house. Crazy Australians. Click here for more…

I know a lot of you are a lot like me. Being that you are away from home, either at a new job somewhere, away at school, or working somewhere overseas. If you love your family as much as I love mine, you probably love keeping in touch and sharing pictures with each other. This can be fairly easy with most of your family members over the internet and whatnot. But, sometimes it’s not that easy. Maybe your grandparents don’t have access to the internet, maybe your parents don’t. But, how to solve this problem without excessive cost?

My family has started using this awesome new piece of technology called a Ceiva. I think it is quite possibly one of the greatest ideas ever. We’ve got one setup for my grandma at home and one for my grandfather at his retirement villa. It is basically a digital picture frame that anyone can send pictures to via the Ceiva website. You think. Hey what if they don’t have access to the internet? The simple genuis shines through. It comes out of box, ready to plug in, and with a phone splitter. You basically plug it into any standard phone line and every night it dials into Ceiva’s servers and downloads any pictures that people have sent to the frame. The next morning, you wake up and there are new pictures rotating slideshow style through the frame. No fees, no internet, just simple setup.

I think it’s an absolutely ingenius way to let families share pictures with their loved ones that may not want to or have a way to have access to a computer. My cousin uses it to send pictures of the new and only great-grandkid in the family, I use it to send pictures of my travels, my uncle uses it to send pictures from Jackson Hole. Bottom line it helps put a smile on the face of my grandma in the morning. And that, is wonderful. Check it out:
