NAPP: Master Photoshop CS2 with Deke McClelland – NYC

NAPP: Master Photoshop CS2 with Deke McClelland – NYC
Once again the NAPP Photoshop Seminar Tour is coming to NYC.

These tours are recommended for anyone involved with Adobe Photoshop, remotely involed with Adobe Photoshop or “even thinking of becoming involved with Adobe Photoshop.” It is not only an extensive day of learning, but CAN BE an eye opener. My very first seminar tour (with Scott Kelby) in 2001 was what Dr. Phil would call a “definitely moment” for me.

Review: Audacity – The Free, Cross-Platform Sound Editor

— quote from the Audacity website —

Audacity® is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds. It is available for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and other operating systems.

A friend/colleague turned me on to a wonderful “open source” audio recorder called Audacity.  Audacity not only lets you create your own audio files, but allowes you to edit them and save to popular formats.  Here is a complete list of its endless features:

Roz Says: Turning the Clocks Ahead… turned my head!

Well, it’s 5:13AM and I am still here…  I know, I know, I said I was going to catch a few hours sleep, but I could not resist checking to see when we change the clocks.  That is my most favorite time of year as it feels like we are being given the “gift of more time!” The days have already started getting longer, but when the clocks are pushed forward they get longer bigtime!

I found this great site at: http://nationalatlas.gov/articles/boundaries/a_savingtime.html 
that provides history on switching the clocks and dates to do it.  It says… Starting in 2007 there will be an extra month before the clocks are pushed back again, thus giving us an extra month of longer days!

This year, in most of the United States we turn the clocks AHEAD on the first Sunday of April.  This year that falls on April 2, 2006.  Now that I know when, I’ll literally be counting the days!

Roz Says: It’s 4:34AM – Why am I still blogging?

Persistence is not all it’s cracked up to be!  Sometimes it is good, but there are those times when it is not so good!  Now is one of those times!  However…

I feel I need to say something, although at this moment I am more than a little wiped out and bewildered with all this setup stuff.  You would think, you have one Blog set up the way you want it, and all you would have to do is copy the files over to the other Blog(s) and tweak a few things!  Right?  WRONG!!!
