• Connected

    How freaking connected can you be in the web? I’ve got a Google account with a ton of subscriptions there, and a DeviantArt account (which I haven’t touched in a year, but am now). So I just uploaded a ton of my difference backgrounds. I’ll add the “pastie” at the bottom of this window. Basically […]

    Photoshop Flaming Text

    This tutorial, by far, takes the cake as the best tutorial I’ve seen yet showing how to setting something on fire.

  • The Far Side

    The Far Side

    Yesterday, I found this awesome Far Side comic. It’s based after the Lone Ranger (of which there are a few Far Sides). At home, we’re watching a bunch of the old western serials and the Lone Ranger has really been a joke.

  • Rubik 2

    I tried the MasterTheCube.com video tutorial on solving the Rubik’s Cube. I got it almost finished and then the author made a mistake (prematurely solved it), beat himself on the head a couple times, tried it again and then gave up.

  • Rubik

    So…we bought a Rubik’s Cube last month, and as soon as I got home (I don’t like them that well), I mixed it up and it has now been sitting for 2 weeks without anyone touching it. I guess none of us like it. Well, just today I took the initiative to go reasearching, because […]
