How to Create an Icon


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

How many icons do you have on your desktop? I’m betting you probably have a few, unless you have them hidden. Even so, you still have tons of icons on your computer. An icon isn’t like a ‘normal’ graphic, since it can have multiple sizes or resolutions within the same file. They’re quite complex little pieces of art, so how can you easily create them yourself?

My first camera ever was an old Polaroid. I took instant snapshots, much like I did today to see if the camera still works. It indeed does! Does anyone other than me remember the Polaroid camera? Did you know that you can make your own Polaroid photo right online?

How to Create or Edit an Avatar


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

How often do you change your avatar? You know what an avatar is – it’s that graphical representation of yourself that you use online! You put avatars on Twitter, on forums, and just about anywhere else you have a presence online. Wicket keeps bugging me for an avatar. Crazy dog – I’ve made him one! He is just too lazy to use it anywhere!

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

Sure, you can take a small picture and turn it into a tiled background for a web page or your desktop. It’s not difficult to do. What is difficult, though, is creating a background that is seamless out of that small image. Not every image will work for this. It can be really tough to create something that flows together and looks right.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

Please stop buying and installing desktop software if there’s a better alternative that exists on the Web. Sure, you may have a photo editing software package. But I guarantee that it doesn’t have the amount of templates and effects as what you can find over at Big Huge Labs.

Who Needs Photoshop?!


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

I have been addicted to the Web since the day it was born. The other day, I did a video about Cameroid which can help you do all sorts of cool things with your video camera. I came upon a link from my friend Mona for a site that is similar to Cameroid… only even better. On PhotoFunia, you will get “the photo software that should have come with your camera”.

Yes, the iPhone has a camera. Can you do anything with the photos other than rotate them, email them or save them to the computer? Not really, you can’t. That’s why you should pick up Picoli from the App store. It’s extensive in what it can do.

Do You Hang Posters on Your Walls?


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

Anyone who has visited me at my home office have remarked how stark and boring my walls are. I have literally nothing hanging on my office walls. I tend to get bored so fast with things on the wall that I end up wasting money. Now that I have an excellent color laser printer, I can print out really cool stuff to hang on the walls if I want to. But what if I want something bigger? What do I do?

How do you Print Digital Photos on the Go?


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

The first camera I ever owned was a Polaroid Instamatic. This was long before digital cameras were even manufactured. I didn’t take many pictures with it, because film was so expensive. It was nice in the respect that it printed your picture instantly. So what do you do when you want or need to print instant pictures these days?

Is your Avatar a Gravatar?

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

I know a few of you use forums. Some of you have blogs and other social accounts. Most of these places allow you to set up an avatar. The hope is that one day, you only have to upload an avatar once and have it populate to all places you are on the Web. There is something that may be used throughout any blog that uses WordPress, and that has this feature enabled. For years, the Gravatars have been a plugin for WordPress. Now, the new version of WordPress has support for these Gravatars.

HP’s Color LaserJet CM1312

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

You guys know about my two dogs, Wicket and Pixie. I took some pictures of them recently, and printed one in about a minute flat on the new printer sitting in my office. The quality was as good as the quality of the photo itself. The big deal would be that it was printed on a color jet printer. To be exact, I used the new Color LaserJet CM1312 from HP. I’m really excited about this machine, actually. HP sent this to me to review, and I don’t think I want to send it back.
