You Stink at Photoshop – Take 2
chinaSMACK is a daily-updated collection of news and content from the Chinese-language internet. These latest stories, pictures, videos, and topics have become very popular, spreading across China’s major BBS forums, social networking websites, or through email forwards sent between normal Chinese people everyday. It appears to me that the Chinese papers are quick to use photoshop [...]
You Stink at Photoshop
There is a series of videos that I once watched entitled, “You Stink at Photoshop”. Photoshop is a tough program to master and most users, including me, stink at photoshop. These video shorts helped a little but I am still learning. Well, I guess that I am not the only one who could use more [...]
SOPA again
This is impressive. In December we saw amazing cooperation between Republicans and Democrats. Have out politicians finally decided to work for the good of the country? Well, no. What happened was that money spoke. When money speaks, congress listens. The movie industry supports a lot of elected officials. A while back I wrote about the [...]

You ask them a question and they have the answer. Problem is, they too often don’t understand the problem, do not understand the question, have never [...]
More things to think about for the New Year
SOPA – No, that is not “soap” with an Italian accent. The Stop Online Piracy Act seems to be sailing through congress. It would give large corporations major new powers to stop piracy of copyrighted material. Both parties are falling over themselves to help the Hollywood studios and trial lawyers — both groups having given [...]
Things to Think about for the New Year
Our political system must be one of the most corrupt in the industrial world. Our politicians don’t represent us anymore. If you want any kind of representation, you better belong to a large corporation or pressure group. If you are just an individual voter — forget about it. Here we are in a first class [...]
Looking at Newt Gingrich
Currently the American Right Wing seems to feel that Newt Gingrich is its’ knight in shining armor. No question that Newt is a smart guy. He has a Phd. in history and has taught it at college level. He has written, or co-written many books. This is great although the Republicans seem to be suspicious [...]
