Video: Photoshop, in the beginning
“Movie visual effects master John Knoll and his brother built Photoshop as the result of a hobby.” And for that, we’re all eternally grateful.

Ski Trip: Day 4

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

It’s looks to be a beautiful day. Ahh… the smell of chapstick and ski wax in the morning.

Right here at the base of the mountain, they’re working on a giant new project. Should be completed in 09.

Wanted to make sure and get a shot of the Max Park sign, just for you Dad. 8^)

In order [...]

Ski Trip: Day 2

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

Now we’re talking. It’s our first morning and excitement is in the air. This shot is looking down at Snowmass’ bunny hill, aptly called Fanny Hill.

Here we are looking up the Burlingame Lift.

Now we’ve arrived at the top of Big Burn, looking out to the southeast at a gorgeous mountain.

Another shot from 12,510 feet, [...]

Ski Trip: Day 1

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

Not a great deal to show off. Our flights were fine. Here’s a first look of the Rockies from the rental car store.

“I’m leaving, on a jet plane. Don’t know when I’ll be back again.” -John Denver
Actually, I do. I’ll be back from Colorado next Saturday. Until then, I’ll be taking shots of beautiful ski country and posting them when I get the chance. Have a great week!

Gilbert Wants to Kill Duke

Friday, January 26th, 2007

I’ve always liked Gilbert’s fearless shot selection. Now I have another reason to like him. After being snubbed by Coach K and not being selected for Team USA, Gilbert says he could score “84 or 85″ points against the coach and his Duke Blue Devils.
“One college game that’s five fouls, right? … 40-minute game at [...]

One of the pure joys of running a blog is being able to post pretty much anything you like. So… viola! [Great song, crappy video]

Snowmass, Here I Come!

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

If I were a different person, a person who only cared about myself and no one else, I’d be a ski bum in Rockies. As it is, I don’t get to ski very because it’s so expensive and I have other, more important things to spend my money on. (For example, my children. *grin*) But [...]

Guitar Hero 1 songs in Guitar Hero 2, and the best interview answer ever… twice!
We do not own a XBox 360, but if they do some kind of “download free GH songs via XBox Live” then I’ll have to buy one. My addiction knows no bounds.

We used to think Megapixels, now maybe it should be Singlepixel.
