I am not talking about a horribly painful rash on your body. It is about using something we recycle already. [google -3648487789039251335] I totally wish I had something to build.
Photoshop Web Based
Adobe Systems will make a basic version of its Photoshop photo-editing software available for free online. Photoshop Express will be completely Web-based so consumers can use it with any type of computer, operating system and browser. And once they register, users can get to their accounts from different computers. Take a test drive. But it isn’t any better than the software you get with any digital camera CD. Disappointing, but at least you can store online, but you can do that with many other online photo storage options. 1.5 out of 5.

10 TV Shows That Changed The Worl The world? Really?
At The Pump
So, CNN puts out a report on how to save at the pump. Drive around and look for the best prices (use gas) Go to SamsClub (and give the money to Walmart) Everybody go Wednesday am (now that everyone will go, expect long lines) Ignore traffic (just go through the toll booth) Close the windows (forget fresh air) or get a sleek sports car. Cheaper gas (duh) Thanks CNN. Here are some real suggestions: Drive only when you absolutely need to drive. Park centrally (park at the store, walk to the bank, walk to the pharmacy). Ignore drive-through windows (park,…
Hollywood Hacks
So, Hollywood fails to be creative. During the writer’s strike you think studios would have at least taken this opportunity to build a program that pulls original content. Instead, Hollywood looks to hack at remakes. Forget it has been proven time and time again big budgets do not bring home the box office. Look at Juno, still in the top 20, had a budget of $7.5 million but the box office is still adding to the box office profit of $141,099,121 million! These have failed to meet their filming budget demands (read more…): Jumper – Even with a creative movie…

Socialthing! :: A Review
I am on Twitter, Facebook, My Space, Friendster, and many more social sites. Why? Coming from a large family and with my close friends becoming more computer literate and each are using various software. Everyone has their choice of program and I blog it all. So, with new instant social updating software like Twitter and additional API within most social sites, each application needs their own special download, interface and coding. Now there is Socialthing! a Boulder, CO based company that is finding new ways to interact with your friends online. This was introduced at SXSW and is slowly building…
Home School
I am here working, in a coffee shop. I came in around 9:00 am this morning to get some programing done while Jenny is seeing patients about 2 blocks away. It was very quiet. I could actually hear my keyboard ‘click, click, click’. Then around 10:00 am it started to get a busy. This is when I put on my headphones, turned on my Skype, and started listening to NPR via Sirius radio. It became indoctrinated with home school kiddies. Yikes!!! They were spitting milk, grabbing food from others and these 8 year olds were playing in the ‘play area’…
A Office Prank
Here is a great office prank (awesomeology): Buy endless amounts of papercups Arrange empty cups on your target’s desk Staple all together. Fill each cup with your choice of beverage Go back to work The only problem I have with this prank, this has to be for a person who is very neat and tidy. Which means, the victim will not be happy about having their desk disturbed and their desk area is completely disarrayed. You have to make sure that none of the items on the desk is ruined. This includes: Papers PDA and connection USB items Phone Keyboard…
MaCain Who?
With all the media focusing on Obama or Clinton we forgot there were other parties in the mix. Just to give a brief update on the presidential candidates: GOP McCain Not voting for him.

Hybrid vs TDI
Every time a hybrid goes against a TDI, it looses. The fact is that if you have a hybrid, you are not getting the best MPG. In 2006 a test drive a VW Jetta TDI from the dying automotive capital of the US, Detroit, to the nation’s capital, Washington DC. On the return trip, it was a test drive of the Toyota Prius. (Read More) Our 2006 Jetta TDI has an average of 54.1 mpg. The new Volkswagen has just recently unveiled a TDI hybrid version of their cute and sporty Golf model that can achieve 83mpg. Also, with a…
Liar Liar
If you’re using your Skype phone to conduct business deals and you want to make sure the other party is being truthful, or you just want to prove once and for all that your boyfriend is a cheater, try KishKish the Skype Lie Detector add-on. KishKish detects the stress level of the person you are talking with over Skype, and it uses that information to detect when they are lying. I use Skype and I find it quite nice, using a wifi phone I can make phone calls at home, on the road and my favorite coffee shop. Who do…
Women’s Office Bathroom Etiquette
As published in Women’s Health Magazine: 1. A convenient ripping distance I have no idea why anyone would put the TP roll on so the loose end of the paper lies against the wall. Instead, put it on at a convenient ripping distance. I do not want to fight with toilet rolls while hovering over a space I’d rather not touch. 2. Grab a wad and pass it under If you see there isn’t any toilet paper in a stall, don’t just sit contentedly in the adjacent one while some poor soul walks into the TP-less potty. Grab a wad…
Gamer Economy
GameStop, love it or hate it, is making big bucks off the gaming industry. They just reported that their annual sales were $7.1 billion for February, 2007 – February, 2008, which is up 33% from the year before. New game sales accounted for the bulk of that revenue up 38.4% from the previous year due to the big success of their top five selling games: Call of Duty 4, Rock Band, Assassin’s Creed, Super Mario Galaxy and Guitar Hero III. They opened an amazing 586 stores last year. That’s one every 15 hours! So, while the economy is supposedly slumping…
Surf Sunday :: Where I Look
There are many ways to get information about applications. I have my usual sources, which I will share with you. When I want to see what alternatives are out there to the costly applications I turn to open source applications. What is open source? Open source refers to any program whose source code is made available for use or modification as users or other developers see fit.
