Several months ago, I signed up for a drawing for an Xbox 360 on the Catalyst Conference website. (Catalyst, in case you’re wondering, is an annual Christian leadership conference being held in Atlanta, GA this October ‘06.)I found out about Catalyst from my friend Scott Villemain, who has attended the conferences through his church for [...]

Mastering Photoshop CS2
I’ll be attending the “Mastering Photoshop CS2” seminar in Atlanta on August 21st. It looks to be a pretty cool mix of classes. It’s been a while since I attended a seminar specifically on Photoshop, so it’ll be nice to be able to “sharpen the saw” with tips and tricks learned from this seminar.

Combatting Blog Spam
Blog spam is a huge problem. Akismet estimates that 93% of comments made on blogs are usually spam. That is a ridiculously high amount of spam! A little blog like mine doesn’t receive a lot of traffic (maybe 20-30 visitors a day). Yet, since my conversion to Wordpress several months ago, I have received well [...]
Better Living by Giving
Let’s face it, most greeting cards aren’t that great. Better Living by Giving aims to change that, with a twist. They’re looking to make a difference:

Nobody loves me, it’s true.
It’s a sad, sad day for fans of Windows 95/98/Me *gag*. Effective today, Microsoft will no longer support your antiquated operating system(s). Perhaps it’s time for an upgrade or possibly a switch?
End of support for Windows 98 and Windows Me – Effective July 11, 2006, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Me (and [...]
