Bryan started using Photoshop at version 3.0, but it was when he saw a demo of Photoshop 4.0 that he knew he had to become a part of the Adobe team. He moved to the Bay Area with the single-minded intent to work at Adobe. In 1999, luck and constant nagging prevailed when Bryan became a member of the Photoshop team.
Bryan"s first years on the team were as a Quality Engineer, User Advocate and liaison to developers. As a tester Bryan essentially spent hisdays doing everything in his power to break Photoshop with in-depth "real world testing. He was responsible for "Liquify," and worked very closely on the user experience.
In 2010, during the 20-year anniversary of Photoshop, Bryan introduced the "Just Do It" (or J.D.I) initiative in which he asked NAPP members and Photoshop users around the globe to tell him their smaller feature requests or address their nagging issues with the Photoshopinterface.
He then sat down with his team and together; they rolled out an unprecedented 30 changes that have helped make Photoshop CS5 one of the most significant and celebrated versions of Photoshop to date.
When he's not exploring his other passions in life like slow marathon running and BMW performance driving instruction, Bryan continues to serve the Photoshop user community with a level of patience, dignity and respect that has earned him the accolades of the entire industry.
Chris Cox is a Sr. Computer Scientist at Adobe. Chris was studying physics in college when Photoshop was first released and maintained an FTP site for Photoshop tips since the Internet didn't exist yet. After college, he began working on the PowerShop accelerator card for Photoshop at Adaptive Solutions. Adobe liked his work on the accelerator and brought him on board in 1996 to work on Photoshop performance. His experience in optics, painting, photography, and printing would prove even more useful when working with Photoshop customers.
Since beginning his work at Adobe, he has been responsible for a number of Photoshop advancements including most of the 16 bit/channel code and almost all of the 32 bit/channel code, benchmarks and fixing bugs while constantly working on improving performance. In addition, Chris holds several Photoshop-related patents.
Considered an icon among NAPP members who've ever needed a little help with Photoshop, Peter Bauer serves as the NAPP Help Desk Director. Along with his invaluable assistance to NAPP, he's also the author of the bestseller, "Photoshop for Dummies," and a seasoned photographer of more than 40 years. After enlisting in the US Army in the mid-80's, Peter carried his camera while serving his country. While stationed in Germany, Peter was introduced to Adobe Photoshop. By the time his Army service ended, he had devoted himself professionally to Photoshop. He quickly became an Adobe Certified Expert and began teaching Photoshop and computer graphics in workshops and later at the university level. In the late 1990s, Pete became a member of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals and soon after, he accepted the challenge of heading up the newly formed NAPP Help Desk.
In addition to serving as the NAPP Help Desk Director, authoring several books and writing for Photoshop User and Layers magazines, Pete is also an active lecturer and has recently joined the University of Notre Dame's Department of Art, Art History & Design as an adjunct professor.
Dave Cross is a NAPP speaker, trainer author and one of the "Photoshop Guys." Dave began teaching for NAPP in 2001.

Dave's passion for educating, inspiring and helping others improve their skills is why we honor him.

Mark Hamburg joined Adobe Systems in 1990 as Senior Computer Scientist where he began work on Photoshop 2.0. As the second engineer brought to the Photoshop team, Mark was hired in part to assist with the implementation of paths, but he is quoted as saying that his first real contribution to the program was to raise the minimum RAM allocation from two to four megabytes—an adjustment that increased Photoshop's stability and performance. Working closely with Photoshop creator Thomas Knoll, Mark led the development of successive versions and earned the nickname "The Architect" of Photoshop. His encouragement persuaded Bryan Lamkin to hire an interface designer to rework the entire user interface of Photoshop prior to the release of version 4.0. Few features have been added to Photoshop that did not pass through Mark's scrutiny. Even best-selling author Deke McClelland sought Mark's expertise and the two collaborated to author the incredibly popular Photoshop Bible. A little-known piece of Photoshop trivia is that it is Mark's eye that appears in the Photoshop 5 Beta Splash Screen. Today Mark continues to be a vital part of product design at Adobe and his innovation and leadership have clearly made a lasting impression on the direction, functionality, and vitality of Adobe Photoshop.

Dan was one of the first to make the transition from traditional high-end pre-press to the age of desktop publishing. His book, Professional Photoshop, was the first to apply traditional, by-the-numbers curve methods to color correction in Photoshop. It's considered by many to be the bible of Photoshop color correction. Subsequent editions, and his "Makeready" column in Electronic Publishing magazine, introduced many techniques that are now standard practice in high-end retouching, such as the use of LAB, targeted sharpening, and channel blending to improve contrast. Even today, when Photoshoppers are confronted with digital files of exceedingly questionable quality, Dan"s mantra is, there are no bad originals, only bad Photoshop operators. Dan"s ability to reduce complicated concepts to words that users can understand and his insistence on dealing with real-world relevance have made him today"s most influential voice in professional color reproduction.
What can you say about Thomas Knoll, the man who wrote Photoshop? Or his brother John, who in 1988 brought them and their beta version of Photoshop, to Adobe Systems. Little did they know that together they'd create a software application that would forever change the way the world creates design, photography and art. Without them, this certainly would be an empty room right now, and the visual aspects of the communication age would be vastly different, and certainly much less exciting and dramatic than it is today. It was Thomas Knoll who took his high-school hobby of photography, (where he learned the art of color, balance, and contrast in his father"s basement darkroom) and turned it into a program that now touches millions of lives every day. Yet the man behind the code remains incredibly humble about his achievement. When contacted about being the first inducted into the Photoshop Hall of Fame, he asked "Why would you want to induct me? I didn"t do anything special. Writing Photoshop was just something we did for fun back then—it was basically a hobby." Thomas" brother John is still involved in the world of digital imagery—from a different angle. Today John is a visual effects supervisor at Industrial Light and Magic, whose portfolio includes "Star Trek Generations," "Star Trek VIII: First Contact" "Star Wars, First Edition" and "Mission Impossible," among many others.
Diane Fenster"s art has been called an important voice in the development of a true digital aesthetic. A pioneer in our field, her work is in the permanent collections of museums, corporations and private collectors. Her work has been exhibited internationally and her fine art and commercial photo illustrations have inspired both admiration and imitation. In many ways, Diane work has broadened the boundaries of photography and illustration. It has often been a difficult course to set. In the early days when artists who used a computer in their art-making presented their work, no one new where they belonged. They didn"t fit into the traditional categories of how one produces an image. The boundaries seemed narrow and set. Diane"s work cut a course which has helped all of us expand the definitions of what is possible in image making. Digital photography and illustration now stand on their own and are widely accepted both in the commercial world and by the fine artist. Because of Diane and artists like her, computer based photography and digitally based art and illustration have claimed their own territories.

When do you keep pushing and when is it time to give up?
Learning to pick battles is an important life lesson. While working with people who have very different views is valuable in many respects, when does it cross the line into a battle of egos that doesn't move you closer to a goal? Please share experiences and insights you've had...be they professional or personal.

Jan 16 2013: When I get a request for something I have found that I need to dig into their request, because often what they ask for is just a path to their goal. And once I know their goal I can help in a way that makes them happy with the results I produce and thus I earn respects.

There are some people that simple enjoy conflicts/ego-battles, and the only answer is to stay away from them. (To me having low stress is more important than winning an ego battle.)
Jan 16 2013: SO true, Don. I often think of the motive behind a request or statement. Quite often what they're asking for isn't the original request at all.
John Smith
Jan 15 2013: Don't fall into the trap of not giving up "because you've already invested so much". A lot of people do that and end up losing more than they would have if they had given up as soon as it became clear (to everyone else) that it wasn't going anywhere.

Also, don't try to lift the weight of the world on your shoulders: if other people choose to be a-holes it's not always your job to do something about it.
Finally you have to accept that things that may seem obvious to you may not be obvious to other people, even when you know for sure you're right. Some things take experience or education to understand and they'll have to figure it out on their own, or not at all, which is not your responsibility, unless they ask sincerely for your help (you know they're being sincere when they're willing to listen to you and are open to changing their viewpoints).
Jan 16 2013: Excellent point about a "trap". If it is simply an idea that I am pursuing that doesn't have any direct, immediate impact on either of our lives, it's much easier to give up on it. The only time I personally struggle with it is when it directly impacts an event where other people I care about feel the effects.Jan 19 2013: Hi Amy....nice to "see" you again....it's been awhile....
Yes....learning to pick our battles is an important life lesson, so in my perception, we don't really "give up", but rather, we embrace the opportunity to learn something. We can decide for ourselves how much energy we want to "invest" in any situation in our life adventure. As TED lover says, it takes honesty with our "self" to make that decision. We can look in ourself to determine when the ego is driving our "battle", or if we are attempting to move toward some reasonable goal. My own "meter", is to observe my "self", and if I feel angry or frustrated, I may be ego driven. If I can remain calm, focused on resolution/solution/problem solving, I am not "pushing" anything, and willing/able to move through the situation with intent to learn grow and evolve:>)Jan 17 2013: when you know.
it requires being in the now and being neutral with ones ego.
how is a small, puny ego and a large, arrogant ego the same?
They are both unhealthy
A balanced ego feels no lack of nor the need for
so it is a condition of a fairly empty mind and that mind can see, think and respond clearly.
it is really being present
methinksJan 17 2013: Amy, As either a parent or a leader, if I have to push to get things accomplished the one of two things have happened. 1) I have been a ineffective leader or 2) I have not properly stated the issue or the task at hand.
As a boss / owner I can influence the outcome by hiring and firing.
My personnal style is to sit down with others who oppose the strategy / goal and find out why ... if valid make corrections ... if not then work to make them part of the team ... it quite often boils down to misunderstandings and bad communications. Often my problem ... not theirs.
I guess that I am saying why push .... improve communications and working relations.
I wish you well. Bob.Jan 16 2013: Wisdom is the principal thing.
Ecclesiastes 3: 1 and 6 says "To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven............A time to gain, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away."

Jan 15 2013: The 'principle of the lever' works here as well. We just not always know how long 'the other' lever is and the 'strength' behind it. So whenever it became necessary to pull with all my force on whatever lever I got and this without 'movement' towards my side, it was time to give up after a short while, because time is no variable in this equation and easily wasted once one brings it in ... :o)

Jan 16 2013: A fascinating notion, Lejan!
greg dahlen
Jan 15 2013: I don't know, because I approach any discussion with the idea that I might be wrong in my position. I don't see anything wrong with continuing a discussion until both parties are satisfied, that is, if the other person objects to your position you must be patient and keep trying to respond to their specific objections. Sooner or later it's going to become clear what is right. If it doesn't there are many ways to gracefully exit a seeming argument, such as volunteering to have the person speak to your supervisor, or, on the other side, asking to speak to a supervisor.

Gail .
Jan 18 2013: For me, it's a matter of how much "bang" I get for my metaphorical "buck". It's a subjective thing. If one path isn't working, rather than keep trying to do the same thing in order to get a different outcome, it is time to reassess the legitimacy of the "stated" goal and find a better goal statement, then a different path toward it. It takes great self-honesty and access to feelings to do this. That's the only way to keep ego out of the conversation.

Jan 16 2013: I think the answer to your question depends alot on who you are in the battle.

If you are the leader, then you have the responsibility to rally everybody together and get them focused on the end goal, and help the others to see the benefit of letting go and moving forward.
If you are simply one of the workers, then you can apply all the great counsel that has been given already.

Jan 16 2013: I absolutely agree, Kate. The only time I have a problem with someone's opinion when it is vastly different from my own is when it impacts policy in some way that I know is extremely detrimental. I like Fritzie's idea of influence and how that might be applicable in situations like that.Jan 16 2013: A motto I have found useful is to keep your own council, it is an idiom, and rarely understood.
Another one is not to blame as that concedes victory to the blamed and defeat to yourself
If is useful to understand the others' perspective, not just empathy.
I think it is important to understand people's need to be right which is covered very nicely by Kathryn Schultz
The value of PR and good manners and willingness
The importance of not neglecting your best friend, you
The value of being your own adviser
The value of why covered very nicely by Simon Senick:
The value of exchange of ideas trumps everything else covered beyond nicely by Matt Ridley
The danger in a meme and the illogic that memes create
And mostly that when ever you have conflict it is created by a 3rd party, NO EXCEPTIONS This is the one that is creating your problem
Jan 16 2013: Excellent TED talk links, Pat. I have not seen/heard/read the Dennett and will put it on my list for today. EDIT: Great talk, Pat, though here is one I wish had gone longer.
Jan 17 2013: Yea Krisztian turned me on to Dennet I put in the same category as Kathryn Schultz and this guy
All 3 point out something important.Jan 16 2013: Pat, I'm busy today but now you're going to suck me right into these talks, aren't you? :)Jan 15 2013: Nice to see you again, Amy. I assume you are asking about interactions among adults. When the matter is important and the listener influential and potentially open-minded, persistence makes more sense in terms of energy and resources than when the issue is not very important, the person not influential (in the sense of likely to hurt others), and the person clearly is not open, for whatever reason, to views other than the ones he holds most dear. Of course the calculation is different for a person who gets pleasure from argument itself. [I am not including situations when the other person is violent or psychopathic or something, in which case cutting away quickly may be well warranted!]

It's been getting really hot up in the Northern Hemisphere lately, so here's a way to combat the heat by making a cooler that stays cool. Just add water!
This project is based on the recent invention of Emily Cummins, originally designed for impoverished families in Africa to keep meat and milk from going bad. The beauty of the cooler is its simplicity. It can be made from scrap materials that can be found in almost any home, sometimes in the trash. The Evaporation Fridge consists of an inner and outer tube, with a wet material in between the two layers. Perishable items are kept in the inner tube in a sealed container. As the water in the wet material evaporates, it removes heat from the inner tube and lowers the temperature. The whole process can be compared to the human perspiration system. Think of the fridge as a cooler that sweats, except less gross.
UPDATE: Check out the new version here:
Step 1: Tools and Materials
I found all of my materials in my garage. If you can't find something, feel free to substitute similar object. My materials are as follows:
1 empty paint bucket
1 empty lantern propane tank(small)
2 plastic tank caps(from full or empty propane tanks)
4-6 rags/washcloths(anything that holds water: sand, sponge, wool, ShamWOW)
2 mesh gutter covers
1 can of spray paint
steel wool
The tools that I used are also very common:
drill press
1" hole saw drill bit
small drill bit
hacksaw with blade for metal
tin snips
hot glue gun
I just checked Coleman's site and it says that the idea didn't catch on so they aren't including the Green Key with their cylinders anymore. That doesn't mean a person couldn't locate one or two if they wanted to try this project without fear of fire/explosion.
Link: http://www.coleman.com/coleman/recycle/cylinder_dis.asp
As an alternative method of "safeing" a propane can before cutting it, someone here at Instructables suggested filling it with water to displace and absorb any traces of gas. Maybe the author or someone else will recognize which -ible talks about using water to make an empty propane tank safe for cutting.
Yeah I'll say evaporative cooling has been around since Egyptian times, even thin sheets of ice were made at night using the method! (Sorry I have no URL reference for that factoid, but I did read it in a book many years ago.)
Nice -ible, keep going with these. :)
I think it could spur some ideas with all the brilliant people on this site
A filling of damp sand or crushed charcoal works very well for a filling between the two containers. You could also use sawdust, moss, straw or leaves, as long as you have water to dampen them. Using a porous container for the outer layer increases the cooling (for example a large unglazed flower pot) or sink your container into the ground with pebbles around it and keep them damp. In the old days, people often dug out a hole and put a wooden keg into the ground with a wooden box sitting on top. They back filled around the keg with small stones, wet them down and filled in around the barrel with dirt, which was mounded up around the box to allow rain to run away from the keg. The box was the 'lid' of this under ground cooler. A stick was fastened to the box and containers of food were tied to the stick and hung in the keg below. This kept food from spoiling for several days.
Just a little note of interest: In the middle east they made ice by pouring water in shallow trays and placing them where the wind would blow over them. The water would develop a thin layer of ice which would be collected before sunup and stored in tall jars, kept in a cool corner. Their houses were cooled naturally by woven mats hung across the small windows on the windward side of the house. These mats were kept damp by ladeling water across them. Natural swamp coolers!
Then the inner liner. If the food is put in chilled plus some ice blocks would it be best to use an insulated inner to keep the heat out or would that be counterproductive in that colling would not be efficient?
Evaporative cooling have been used in developing nations for some time - Cummins has only changed the materials, as the originals used two clay pots, with water-soaked sand in between. The water evaporated straight through the porous clay.
Having said that, this is a good Make. Well done.
James, nice job. But in the future do not tempt the safety gods. It doesn't take a lot of gas to make a very solid burst. You can loose your hearing, etc. There are other substitutes. But other than that, rock on.
This idea has been used in the past. The ever frugal VW air cooled series had the same idea. You loaded ice into the gray container on the window and then airflow over the ice within the gray tube would be funneled into your car cabin.

The first results from the 2011 Census were published 16th July 2012 and show that over 61,000 more people are living in Norfolk now compared with the previous census in 2001.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) carried out the Census and a follow-up coverage survey and produced initial results for population, households, household residents and short term residents, along with information on the quality of the response area by area.
In 2011, Norfolk's population was estimated to be 857,900, an increase of 61,200 from 2001. All local authorities in the County increased in population, the highest being South Norfolk (which gained 13,300) and King's Lynn & West Norfolk (12,200). The lowest increase was in North Norfolk (3,100).
North Norfolk had the largest proportion of people aged 65 and over in the East of England Region (29%), the smallest proportion of people aged 19 and under (19%) and the smallest increase in under fives (4%). The proportion aged 65 and over was the third highest of all local authorities in England and Wales; Norwich had the lowest average household size (2.1); Breckland was the least densely populated (100 people per square kilometre).
Norfolk has more older people than in 2001 – all age groups 55 and over increased, in particular ages 60-64 and 60-69, and there was also a significant increase in 20-24 year olds, though there are fewer children aged 5-14 and fewer adults in their thirties.
There are 372,100 households in Norfolk, with an average household size of 2.26 (the figures vary from 2.34 in Breckland to 2.12 in Norwich). This is 29,000 more households than in 2001, though average household size has only fallen marginally, from 2.27.

Mike Bliss to Pilot the No. 19 Miller® Welders Impala in Top Gear 300
DENVER, N.C. (May 25, 2011)TriStar Motorsports is pleased to announce a one-race partnership with Miller® Welders, whos famous tagline, The Power of Blue®, refers to the iconic color of the machinery. Miller® Welders will serve as primary sponsor of the No. 19 Chevrolet Impala with driver Mike Bliss in the Top Gear 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 28, 2011. This partnership will mark Miller® Welders first NASCAR primary sponsorship endeavor.
Headquartered in Appleton, Wisconsin and founded in 1929, Miller® Welders has grown from a one-man operation to the worlds largest manufacturer of arc welding and cutting equipment. Keeping the people as its primary focus and valuing things as integrity, commitment, loyalty, and teamwork, Miller® Welders continues to maintain its global leadership, setting the industry standard for reliability, quality, and responsiveness.
Its an exciting time for us to be able to partner with TriStar Motorsports and Mike Bliss, stated Andy Weyenberg, Manager of Motorsports Marketing at Miller® Welders. We believe in Mikes ability and have worked with him at Xpress Motorsports when he won his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Championship and then again at the Haas CNC Sprint Cup program. Miller® Welders are used daily at most of these race shops, so when Rick Carpenter brought this opportunity to us, we thought it would be a great way to promote our products to everyone from the casual hobbyist to the hardcore racer.
TriStar Motorsports Driver Mike Bliss reiterates Weyenbergs excitement about the partnership especially at the track where he recorded his last Nationwide Series victory in 2009.
Its an honor to once again work with Andy (Weyenberg) and the entire Miller® Welders organization for this weekends race at Charlotte (Motor Speedway). Not only is their equipment first class, they also put a large emphasis on people and commitment which is just one of the many reasons they have a large global presence. I know we will represent them well and will put on a great show for them and the fans.

- The fluids lab, which has a small wind tunnel, electrolytic tank, and an oscillating table that simulates ship motions.
- The ship model towing tank and instrumentation room, which is used for both course work and student research; it enables students to tow ship models and test resistance and test model propellers, with the wavemaker simulating lively seas.

Public Chapter 747 of the Acts of 2004 amends the Residential Lending, Brokerage and Servicing Act, Tennessee Code Annotated Section 45-13-101 et seq., by requiring that all mortgage loan originators register with the Department in affiliation with one licensed/registered mortgage company. The mortgage loan originator registration requirements become effective January 1, 2005. The Department has received some inquiries from the mortgage industry about who is subject to these registration requirements. This Bulletin is issued to provide the mortgage industry guidance, consistent with Public Chapter 747, regarding these registration requirements.
Public Chapter 747 defines mortgage loan originator as:
- an individual;
- who works for one licensee or registrant and is subject to the direct supervision and control of that licensee or registrant;
- who, in exchange for compensation from that licensee/registrant, performs any one or more of the following acts: solicits, processes, places, negotiates or originates mortgage loans for others, or offers to solicit, process, place, negotiate or originate mortgage loans for others or who closes mortgage loans which may be in the mortgage loan broker's own name with funds provided by others and which loans are thereafter assigned to the person providing the funding of such loans; and,
- who performs any of these acts through contact with the borrower or potential borrower.
Examples of the types of activities which the Department would consider to be included within the definition of "mortgage loan originator" are:
- soliciting or offering to make a mortgage loan;
- explaining or recommending specific terms, conditions or benefits of any mortgage loan available from or through a licensee or registrant, whether or not the borrower has made or makes an application;
- obtaining personal or financial information from the borrower;
- assisting the borrower with the preparation of a mortgage loan application or other documents; or,
- explaining any term or aspect of any disclosure or agreement given at or after a mortgage loan application is received.
Public Chapter 747 goes on to provide that the term "mortgage loan originator" does not include an employee of a licensee or registrant whose job responsibilities are limited to clerical tasks. The Department interprets clerical tasks to include such tasks as:
typing documents from drafts prepared by others, answering telephones, making appointments and maintaining schedules and calendars for others, operating office machinery, opening and routing mail, mailing correspondence, maintaining office supplies and inventory, and maintaining files.
The Department certainly recognizes that an employee who engages in clerical tasks such as those listed above might very well have contact with the borrower or potential borrower. Provided that the contact is limited to contact in a clerical capacity, that employee would not need to be registered.
Additionally, the Department has determined that the definition of mortgage loan originator does not include those "back office" employees of a licensee or registrant whose job duties are limited to underwriting tasks. The Department considers underwriting tasks to include:
analyzing the risk involved in making the mortgage loan to determine whether the risk is acceptable to the lender, including the evaluation of the property as outlined in the appraisal report, and of the borrower's ability and willingness to repay the mortgage loan.
In making a determination whether to register an employee, a licensee or registrant should review the job duties and responsibilities of the employee. Obviously, an employee whose job duties fall within the definition of mortgage loan originator as discussed above must be registered. An employee, however, whose job duties are limited to clerical tasks would not need to be registered, even if the employee, in the course of performing those clerical tasks, might have contact with a borrower. Additionally, "back office" employees who engage solely in underwriting tasks would not be subject to registration.
If you have questions regarding whether an employee is subject to the mortgage loan originator requirements you should contact the Department's Compliance Division. Additional information about mortgage loan originator registration requirements may be found on the Department's web site at www.tennessee.gov/tdfi/ and clicking on the heading "Mortgage Loan Originator Registration" or by calling the Department's Compliance Division at (615) 741-3186.

Contribute To Habitat Preservation
Roll over image to zoom in
Since The Rainforest Site began in 2000, together we have funded the protection and preservation of more than 41,000 acres of rainforest habitat. Your daily click and your Rainforest Site store purchases, combined with those of many others from around the world, have helped protect vital parts of these ancient, complex ecosystems in Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Paraguay and other locations worldwide.
Now, there is a new way to help! When you give directly to GreaterGood.org, our 501(c)(3) charity partner, we'll direct your donation to worthy charities benefiting habitat preservation.
Every bit helps, even an amount as small as $1. You can donate any amount over $1 by placing the $1 donation in your shopping cart and increasing the quantity -- perhaps a special number to honor someone's birthday. For your convenience, we have created $5, $10, $40 and $100 tiers as well.
Free Standard Shipping in the U.S. on your entire cart when you donate $15.00 or more in our Gift That Gives More™ program. See Current Promotions for details.

100% of your donation will go to the program described above as a grant through GreaterGood.org. GreaterGood stores do not receive any profit from donations through this Gift That Gives More™; we bring it to you in the spirit of the greater good. We even pay the credit card transaction fee, so every cent of your donation goes to charity.
Please note: A free downloadable certificate is available to print for easy gift giving for any non-disaster related Gift That Gives More™. The "gift message" field during check-out does not apply to your Gift That Gives More™ certificate.
Your donation is 100% tax-deductible in the U.S.A.

The title of this post is a merging of the topics on my mind right now.
I just remembered that I have a Vine account. Seven seconds is nothing, yet can be an eternity.
Also, Coco IS TWO YEARS OLD TODAY! As in right now. This instant. It's amazing how much she's been talking over the last couple of weeks. She tells me little stories and we laugh at a lot. She's my light and I love seeing her blossom!
I've been feeling tired nearly all of the time, due to my schedule. I might be able to cut back on some stuff soon, but I need to make it for about another six months. Wish me luck.
I don't think that I've ever owned a car that has such low miles. You either pay as you go or pay when something catastrophic happens. I'm thankful that I haven't been on the side of the road anywhere for a long time. (My 1983 first Jetta, nicknamed Satan, I'm talking to YOU!)
One of my superpowers does NOT include having the patience to put together IKEA furniture, but this face was entirely worth it.
People I know have been moving, and have been choosing to move to New Orleans more often than not. I almost did the same thing once upon a time, pre-Katrina. It's a bittersweet place for me and by that I mean that it reminds me of an alternate existence that I could have had, had I taken a leap of faith.
I had some beautiful yet sinister experiences while I was there.
Now that I found out through the grapevine that another friend is moving there, I think that would be a great impetus to give it another chance. For a visit or little vacation, for sure.
People like to complain about #hashtags that are used on the net, but you know what? You can find a lot of interesting stuff based on what people tag and can make new virtual friends in the process. Specifically I'm talking about Instagram and the #vintagemotorcycle hashtag as well as randomness on Twitter.
I've found some great accounts on Instagram that have nice pics of old bikes and amazing custom work. I recently revisited all of the bike pics that I've taken throughout the years and added the appropriate hashtags. #donthate
I'm running out of classes to take and don't have a viable plan to tackle my Bachelor's Degree situation.
My own birthday is coming up and I'm going through a little hair identity crisis. It's taken so long to get it to look "normal" (whatever that is) but I don't feel respectable nor interesting with this hair at the moment. SO. TEMPTED. TO. THROW. LEFTOVERS in it. I've still got some blue spectrum randomness in my stash drawers and it doesn't help that Coco likes to look at them and say, "hair, hair" over and over. Although her version of saying hair kind of sounds like ear.
Edited to add: my friend and former co-worker Jody said the following on Facebook: "teal, where did the L go?"
That pretty much sums it up but I worry about my "hire-ability in the Silicon Valley" if I look "alternative" in any way. What do us creatives do?
Here's a very good video that I had to watch for school and it's James Bach. Besides being one of the world's foremost experts on Software Quality Assurance and Testing, he happens to be the son of Richard Bach, who wrote Jonathan Livingston Seagull" title="Jonathan Livingston Seagull" target="_blank">Jonathan Livingston Seagull and other neat books.
When I had mentioned in my last post that I don't think that software testing is brain surgery, I didn't mean to offend anyone. It's a field that can be very challenging but it can be tackled by people like me, and that's what I meant the first time around.
I think of people that I used to know when I lived in Seattle and how self-important they would act about their job, as if it was some kind of sacred mystery. I am reminded of something that I heard in my meditation class. Elitist first world problems, as in "you wouldn't understand my suffering." Explains some people to a T.
This was posted elsewhere by my stylist, Nicole, and it's about moving to San Francisco. I laughed.
Don't miss this Smiths tribute!!
Have a nice everything,
