A Time for Change...

[tealin]

The transition from one home computer to another is a bit rocky and surprisingly emotional ... I've been wrapped up in that for longer than I want to think, but it looks like it'll settle down soon – at least, as soon as I figure out how to get around having a legitimate Photoshop CD but not the sleeve it came in which bore the serial number. Ngrh.

Commissions are trundling along ... I think I'm about halfway done.

While we wait, have a YouTube video!

From the director's notes: The IYI crew visited Alton Illinois to interview Brett Stawar, executive director of the Alton Regional Convention and Tourism Bureau. Alejandro Cruz, the videographer, had technical difficulties with his wireless mic set, and couldn't capture any of Aileesha Breedlove's interview questions. This is what we did to salvage the segment. Ryan Wiggins wrote approximately 90% of the lyrics based on rough edits, and performed the resulting vocal arrangement. ... The entire project took about 4 hours from conception to completion.

That song was fantastic! Yet one must wonder why that girl was crying. Was it because of the Eagle? I have seen Bald Eagles quite a bit and it has never brought me to tears.

Okay, this is really awful, but the first thing that popped into my head was: Maybe it pooped in her eye.

Yeah, I've regressed twelve years...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is extra funny to me because I am now thinking of a promo for Dirty Jobs I saw once. He went to Vomit Island where all the birds throw up and people go collect it. So he is talking all about being puked on by birds.

And go ahead and regress 12 years. I think all the best animators/illustrators and what not are just kids wearing grown up costumes.

To get your Serial #, you might try going to Help/About in the Photoshop menu (this is why, I think, you want the sleeve).

Tried that ... it's four numbers too short. :(

Oh, my!

I am FROM this area- so amazing to see all the old stamping grounds and they are getting into this type of tourism. Not sure why it makes people cry, though. Too many wild onions along the road?

The River Road, by the way, has a great bike trail you can take that goes through some interesting areas, including an image of the area's official monster, the Piasa Bird (based on a Native American legend).

That may very well be the greatest eagle-inspired song of the century. Thank you for posting that video because it just made my life.

well, why photoshop?

why not give the GIMP a try?

I looked at it and it might do some stuff but I'm not convinced that it will resize, paint, or adjust levels as well as Photoshop (which is mostly what I use it for) – even Paint Shop Pro, a program with almost as long a legacy as PhoSho, still doesn't do a good enough job at it for me.

Also the program doesn't seem to have a backing, it's just a load of little windows that open up on top of the desktop (or whatever program is also running), which is steadily rising to #1 thing that annoys me about Macs.
