OpenCa.mp is just a few weeks away now. Are you ready? Have you got your notebook or ipad charged? Got an extension cord? Got some power bars? Business cards?!?! Be sure to get updated ones printed. How about your toenails? Have you painted them yet? WHAT? You haven’t? Where’s the love? I inadvertently challenged a [...]

How in the world do I get video on the web and how do I get it in my site??? Dave Curlee shows you just how easy it is to get video into your WordPress blog.

I really don’t like to move.  I mean really! I do like fresh starts, that’s always great.  It’s nice to get rid of clutter, throw out all the stuff that’s been piling up in the garage, and just start over.  That part, I’m cool with, it’s the chaos that ensues during that time that I [...]

After eight years of living in this house, the allergy den as I like to call it, we’re finally moving.   I do NOT like to move.  That is to say, I like the fresh start, once we get there, but I do not like the process or the upheaval. For the past couple of weeks, [...]

Nobody’s perfect.  We say that a lot, and we really mean it too.  Yet when we take a look at some celebrity in a magazine or on a billboard, they sure do look perfect.  The truth is though, they’re not.  They’re like you and me.  They’ve got freckles, a dying zit, a hump in the [...]

You’ve seen it just about everywhere.  You’ve been seeing it for most of your life, and you didn’t even know it.  It’s called Stock Photography.  Over the years, I’ve really become aware of just how much stock imagery is all around us.  There have been times when I’ve bought an image from iStockPhoto.com used it, [...]

Let me start off by saying that I’ve been using Photoshop since 1994.  I’ve taught myself everything I know (tutorials helped), and I literally love that application.  Photoshop is always running in my task bar.  Without Photoshop, I’d have never developed the skills that aid me in all areas of production. With that understood there [...]

If it feels good…. PRINT IT!  Rasterbation rocks!  Don’t let the name fool you.  The Rasterbator is an amazing little app / web app that allows you to create some amazing large format artwork. What the Rasterbator does is lets you take a regular photo / snap shot and blow it up as large as [...]

I love fonts.  Now, I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t use unique typefaces near as much as I should, but man I love a good looking font.  I’m constantly trying to find out what this great font is, or what that one is.  What’s font used on Vimeo?  What’s the flickr font?  [...]

I’m always on the lookout for great, free stock artwork and elements for my designs. (Why reinvent the wheel??) Silhouettes are all the rage recently.  Past ipod ads were loaded with them. True, you can create your own and sometimes that’s the only way you’re going to get the look you’re project needs, but when [...]
