Here's something I've been working on lately. I like it a lot.

It's still being tweaked . . . but I do have it set as my wallpaper right now.

another green

Here's another version of the "Green" wallpaper I've been playing with.

Firefox 3 Download Day

The guys behind Firefox are looking to set a new world record for the most downloaded piece of software in a single day . . . that is Firefox and that is today.

So, help 'em out and get yourself a much better browser overall than FF2 was . . . at http://www.getfirefox.com.

Why am I so into wallpapery goodness lately???

I've been enjoying my newfound love of photoshop . . . ah, digital composting . . . I mean compositing.

Photos from Camp

One of the things that I love about my job is that I still get the opportunity to go to Camp Walter Johnson from time to time and take part in various programs that are going on there. I got to do that today - with the sole purpose of taking photos of kids arriving at camp.

I'm not going to post the photos here, but you can see them at this link.

There are some decent shots in there. All of these were shot with a Nikon D40 with either a 18-55mm lens or a 55-200mm lens.

Let me know what you think.

I'm feeling graphically inclined the past few days.

And environmental.

This is at 1900x1200 if you need a new wallpaper.

Images

So, it's really cool that as I've been checking out some of the profiles around mychurch.org/salvationarmy I've seen some people using an image that I put together several months ago for their youth ministry. I was just messin' around, but I'm glad that someone has been able to use it and benefit from it.

Here's that image.

I was messing around today and came up with this:



If you like it, let me know. I have it at a higher res if anyone needs a better copy of it. It would be good for desktops or backgrounds for powerpoint/mediashout stuff too.

Peace,

The Gods Must Be Crazy

This is crazy! I didn't realize that there were about 100 tribes of "uncontacted" people still in the world. Here are the first few paragraphs from the CNN story. Read it all at: http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/americas/05/30/brazil.tribes/index.html

Researchers have produced aerial photos of jungle dwellers who they say are among the few remaining peoples on Earth who have had no contact with the outside world.

Indians are photographed during an overflight in May 2008, as they react to the overflight at their camp.

Taken from a small airplane, the photos show men outside thatched communal huts, necks craned upward, pointing bows toward the air in a remote corner of the Amazonian rainforest.

That's amazing to me.

Grace,

Des

This is an error as well . . .

I've been having some funny errors. Here's another one just like the other one.

That's an Error???

So, you know that I love my Macs.

But even they have their interesting errors.

The Meter is Running (A Spotlight on Fox News)

The best line is from Mr. O'Reilly . . . "Bush is doing justwhat Jesus would have done."

Yes . . . I'm aware that I just published a post on taking things out of context . . . and I understand that these are a bunch of snippets of things taken out of context. I wouldn't use this as a source of political information.

It's still quite funny.

context

found this today.

I hate when things are taken out of context.
