Opera is now free

Opera, once requiring users to purchase a license to remove ads from the browser, has removed the license restriction.  Though I'm thinking, way too little, way too late.

Standing in line

A while ago some guys at work and myself had a little discussion about bikers and the rules of the road. On the way home today I saw a biker actually adhering to this whole wildly crazy idea of - waiting your turn.

Picking Apples

Just because I don't feel like doing anything at work right now I'll post a link to some photos I added to Flickr.

I'm thinking of getting the pro account for $25/year. Most people I know don't like Flickr because of it's interface but I like it for the backend. For those of you who know what an api is - it has a very good api. I'm playing with it now so that I can take 3 or 4 random photos from my photos on Flickr that are tagged with something like "banner" then rotate them, add a border, and put them on the header of this blog. It will look kind of similar to what I've done with my old site design, only not static. Then when you refresh the page it would pull a new set of random pictures and display them.

A new browser is about to surface.  It's supposed to have more of a social type feel to it.

Photoshop Tutorials

I like doing things in Photoshop but I'm by no means good at it so I usually need a tutorial.  I wish I had this site a while ago when I was trying to do and hand stitched image (guys at work know why).

Firefox Preloader

This application runs in the system tray and allows Firefox to start a lot quicker.  A definite must have.
