Photoshop CS4 11.0.1 Update = Woot!

It's a thing of beauty.

FINALLY this new CS4 version of Adobe Photoshop is rocking like I'd expect it to, on a computer as strong as mine.

Brush speeds are lagless and responsive- even on a ridiculous test document of 10000x10000px @ 600 dpi, with 2 big placed psb files and several layers of text, shapes, and brushed layers (! nice !)

Steve made an iPhone theme!

Something I've been meaning to do for AGES.. I like some of the themes available in the Cydia theme repos, but none of them really appealled to me completely..

Beggars can't be choosers, so they should be makers instead

All the system and stock icons are done- that was a lonnnng process! Jeez.

Here's a flash movie of what I see on the phone, the background is one I made with Flash CS4 and applied via the vWallpaper app.

HDTV Black Bars of EFF YOU!!!!

Black bars around my fancy new HD setup..  I now have an ungodly amount of channels through Hilo Oceanic Time Warner Digital HD.. Using Vista Media Center, I have happily pared out the 50 channels of 24/7 infomercials (eff you number one- for having to pay for infomercial channels).  

For the most part, I'm really happy with the new digital and hd content as brought to me by my Scientific Atlanta Explorer 4250HDC.. I do think it's silly that I now have 3 copies of a lot of channels, all broadcasting the same content in different formats.

For your Drupal powered blog - Custom Date Icons for Submitted Date

I wanted to put some cool posted date icons like the ones shown below on my best client's blog (aka my mom's blog).

It is suprisingly easy with a wave of the css magic wand and a little time spent on some custom graphics (or you can steal some too hehe).


First, the icons on Ma's site look like these (click for bigger view), are shown in the title links for each story or blog posting, making them links to the respective story along with the text links.
