Having “I Friendly” websites

Friday, July 30, 2010

Over the past few weeks I’ve been doing a ton of reading about the IPad, IPhone, IPod Touch, and all “I” stuff.  There’s a lot going on in the “I” world….. One of the big issues of course is Flash.  As you may or may not know, the IPad et all do not run Adobe [...]

Topaz Remask….I totally forgot I had it!

Saturday, May 8, 2010

As regular readers know, I use Topaz Labs suite of tools. Sometimes I launch the filters from Photoshop, sometimes from Lightroom. They’ve got some great Photoshop plugins, and I don’t use all of them too often. For instance, Topaz Remask. I totally forgot I had it!  And Josh Gosell reminded me this morning with his [...]

Woah, Facebook Strips Your EXIF data!

Wednesday, May 5, 2010

This blog. Why am I reconsidering using Facebook to share images?  Well, they strip your EXIF data out.  All of it. [...]

A week of Flash

Monday, January 25, 2010

No, not Adobe Flash. We’re talking strobes here this week at the Airstream Chronicles. See, while putting up with last week’s storms made for a boring time, I had to do something.

Fly by night web designers can cost you!

Friday, January 8, 2010

Yesterday a neighboring business owner asked for my assistance. Issues with their website. Since I’d helped with some graphics for their site months ago, and due to their question, I gave them a hand. It was only 5 minutes of my time, and I understood their frustration! See, several months ago the business owner hired [...]

Dear Apple…..what gives?

Friday, January 8, 2010

A few short days ago I found an interesting warning on my Mac.  My 1 year old battery needs service. The service warning popped up right after the Raven incident New Year’s Eve Day.  Some major paranormal intervention with my MacBook Pro?  Or has my battery totally flaked? Last year in February I had to [...]
