Homegrown flamethrowers are cool. 'Nuff said.

FWWOOOOOSH!

Oh yeah, do not try this at home kids...

Now where did that idea wander off to? Oh well, at least I am somehow managing to track the 130 computers that need to be moved from all ends of the site over the next two weeks.

Anyway, I do have something for you to look at: Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow. I was not too impressed with the trailer when I saw it a few months ago, but apparently, that footage was taken from only the first 10 minutes of the movie. Since then, I have been hearing some glowing reviews of the finished product, and the story behind the movie is quite a tale as well. Either way, I think I will be at the theater come September.

Like a maggot-riddled zombie, Webmonkey appears to have risen from the dead. I cannot find any official announcements, but the front page mentions it, and there is a new article up there. I used to have a special fondness in my heart for the monkey, as they taught me many of the fancy HTML tricks I have forgotten today, but I hear there are better resources out there these days. I suppose we will just have to wait and see if they can make a true comeback.

Wow, a day off, and I actually feel halfway motivated. Maybe it is because they did not try to cram five days of work into a four day week like they usually do? Anyway, I digress. What I mean to say is that I am actually in the process of updating my website (in addition to a myriad other projects I have been slacking). Turns out some of the new Blogger features swamped my measly server space, and I had a few technical difficulties over the past week or two. So, now that is cleaned up, and I shall continue on with my updates. While I update, here is something to chew on while you wait:

I believe I mentioned it previously, but the hoopla surrounding Google's new GMail is quite impressive from privacy advocates blasting it to regular folks attempting to trade their left pancreas for it. Today, I thought I would mention the beggars just because I happen to have a GMail account (which is quite nifty I might add) and with it, three spare invitations. I am a little late to jump on the EBay bandwagon. Prices have plummeted from $100/account to $10/account. What that leaves me with is gmail swap. You can find some very interesting offers. Some quite enticing and other just plain bizarre. If you see anything worth swapping or want to make an offer yourself, you know where to comment.

Not much to say today. I just have a list of some helpful tips for all the aspiring digital photographers out there. I do not think I fall into this group, but it looks like useful tips to my untrained eye, so here you go!
