I didn't "upload" those anywhere. They're in a folder on my computer. They're also in a folder on my wife's laptop and our server at home, as well as Dropbox's servers. My whole house could burn down, and those would still be there. I can share the entire folder with a friend, and they can "save" files into that same folder from THEIR computer.

EDIT: I'm thinking twice about having a link out there with my full name and pictures of me on there, so sorry for removing the link. If anyone's actually curious, feel free to PM me for the link.
