Having “I Friendly” websites

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!

As regular readers know, I use Topaz Labs suite of tools. Sometimes I launch the filters from Photoshop, sometimes from Lightroom.

Dear Apple…..what gives?

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 [...]
