Silhouettes can make a great scrapbook layout technique. Removing your subject from the background of the photo lets you position them with whatever backdrop you want in order to tell your story. I don’t mean like those TV reporters who stand in front of a blue screen with a fan ruffling their hair whilst they report on some news story that the TV station didn’t have an on-the-spot-reporter attending.

What’s in a Linux name? While posting something on a Linux forum the other day, a thought hit me. Another poster asked why millions of people use Windows, but fewer seem to want to use Linux, despite its ease of installation, available applications, security and zero-cost. The Linux user community discusses and argues this topic constantly, but I believe I finally hit on why Linux acceptance among the world’s everyday users has been…well…kind of slow. Names.

How time flies. I can't believe that it's been over two weeks since my last weaving post. I try to divide my time so that I get at least a little of several things done each day: weaving, knitting, computer, and spinning, (though I haven't been spinning lately). Now dyeing. I find this gives me a break from one activity to the next, but keeps me busy at the same time. I have been slowly working away at my expanded multiple tabby weave experiments, and now have something on the loom to show. ThSix alternative uses for digital cameras on the road
Six alternative uses for digital cameras on the road by Grant Martin Jun 19th 2008 @ 8:00AMWe've reached the point where high quality digital cameras have become pretty common. It seems that every few months or so the minimum number of megapixels going into cameras goes up a notch. I saw a 12 megapixel camera in the store the other day. What does the common tourist need a 12 megapixel camera for? And why doesn't anyone seem willing to put greater than 3 megapixels in a mobile phone camera? MaBack-up Your Files
Like most people in this almost-paperless age, I keep most of my files in my computer. A huge chunk of my computer memory goes to keeping my most treasured memories a.k.a. zillions of digital photo albums. When I get hold of important documents, I always make a digital copy and store it in my computer just in case the paper copy is stolen or lost. But what happens when your PC conks, goes haywire, dies out on you? It’s very important to create back-ups. These could be in the form of CD-ROMs, omy book arrived and a layout

It ended up being 80 pages and it is a hard cover with a dust jacket, the only thing I was disappointed about was the cover is plain and the cover photo isn't on it, the paper quality is really quiet good though, so over all I am pretty happy with it.I love this photo, what else were rubber boots and umbrellas made for but playing in the rain.

The state of investigative journalism in America is in its five-alarm fire phase, with newspaper staffs being severely pared down, and TV news going for flash and celebrity. But Charles Lewis, the godfather of non-profit investigative journalism as founder and former director of the Center for Public Integrity, would rather put out the fire than simply yell “fire!” “I actually think it’s one of the most exciting times in the history of journlism even though it sometimes feels like there’s a VCCP’s binge drinking advertising premiere

I believe that mobile is one of the most revolutionary thing happened in our lifetime. It would become the key enabler in the process of human development (socially/economically). The reason, for this, is the following services which would be available on a mobile sooner or later if unavailable now. Note : All the following services would never be available on a single mobile phone. Any subset of these services would be sold in the market. So it means, one will keep multiple mobile devices.

I’ve seen about 900 gazillion different versions of photo memes going around. Because I’m lazy a trailblazer, I decided to write a post about my life and include as many silly photos of people I don’t know as possible. Because what’s creepier than putting pictures of children you don’t know on your blog? Absolutely nothing.

I want to say at the top that I don't expect or want any sympathy. That said... I spent all of today doing the very thing that frustrates and angers me like no other: making a balky computer behave.

Mainly, because she is figuratively, for me, out of focus. It's like I'm not sure what I see when I look at her. Is she an adult? Is she still a kid?
