I took the liberty to take full advantage of the Photoshop CS5 beta to clean it up and remove the majority of the distracting bits (power lines, signs, a few people, etc.). It took a little while and I had to combine different approaches, but I’m really happy with how it turned out.

I can legally say now that I was/am a CS5 Photoshop beta tester. I joined late in the program and didn’t have nearly as much time as I would have liked to dedicate to testing, but I’ve been very impressed with the new features.

Here’s a quick example of some possibilities of what you can do. It’s nothing too elaborate, but should be impressive if you know what to look for. :)

He had come up with a doodle that he liked but it wasn’t translating quite right when he recreated it digitally.

Needing a break from technical work, I decided to pull out my drawing tablet and give it a go just for fun. He liked it so much that I cleaned up the lines and he’s using it as his header now!

Go check it out. It’s so cute that I want to giggle every time I stop by his site.

Now if only I could finish the other logos that I’ve promised to others…

I predominantly use Twitter for my regular journal/blog-like quick updates – but anything longer than that goes under the “Journal” category. What about everything else?

I have a couple of other categories that I use for writing up technical How-Tos and reviewing concerts, computer hardware/software, etc. Check the top navigation for a quick direct link to that page. Otherwise, browse each category via the Archvies page.

As I have time I will also be adding a “Links” page. Let me know if you’d like to be included or if I have an out of date link for you.

Thanks!

I figured that not everyone’s going to want to register for yet another account somewhere if they want to just post a single comment, so I allowed unregistered users to add comments. If the spam gets too much (which it shouldn’t with the captcha) I will disable that again.

Enjoy!
