I'm a Nerd

Nothing like a little geeky designer humor to jump start your weekend.

I dig this stuff.  Like, I find it so super funny.

I'm a nerd.

For. Sure.

Anyways, I particularly liked these tee-shirts as I can personally relate to both...they seem to sum up my life at the moment quite well...ha!

Obsessed.

So.

Obsessed.

with Words With Friends.

 I mean, an intervention of sorts may be necessary very soon as my obsession is starting to disrupt my normal daily functioning.  

I have 8 games going as we speak so I pretty much have no time to blog today.  

Gotta stay focused.

Gotta keep my eye on the prize.

Gotta win big.

;P

Photoshop Tuts

New to Photoshop? 

Or just wanna brush up on your sweet skills??

 
PSD Tuts+ is one of my favorite sites for Photoshop tutorials.  It is currently hosting a 25-part video series to teach you everything you need to know to get you Photoshopping like a Pro!

There are just so many tutorials and educational materials floating out there on the web that it can be a bit overwhelming if you are a Photoshop newbie....or even if you are an intermediate or advanced user and just want to learn a new skill, tip, or trick...it's hard to weed through the muck and find relevant, let alone quality material.  I have found this video series to be quite good.  I especially like the narrator's accent ;)

And sometimes I like to dress my Mac up in fancy Apple wallpapers.

I just found this website that has some nice ones...

This purplely apple universe is my current fave.

I Totally Returned It...

My new fancy schmany camera that is.

It was just too much camera for me.  

It became the source of tremendous anxiety because I had spent so much money on something I didn't know how to use...and my photos were terrible...it was just too overwhelming.  

I feel I need to slowly work my way up to that type of camera.  Learn a bit more.  Work with an in-between type camera for a while.  

Soooooooooo...I returned it and got THIS!

I feel SO much better now.  

I love this camera!  

I can learn on it and it takes fabulous photos and well, it was half the price of the other and it just functions more at my skill level.

Hooray.

 

Nikon Coolpix P100

Fancy Schmancy

Guess who bought her fancy schmancy new camera today???!!

Yeah, that would be me ;)

And yep, that's it pictured above.

I'm so totally in looooooooooove.

Have You.......

...downloaded the latest update for Firefox??  OMG.  The most updated Firefox allows you to completely personalize your browser window with "Personas" or skins to decorate the top gray part of your browser.  LOVE IT.  I am all about personalizing my online experience.  I use gmail and have totally personalized all my email accounts with the themes they offer...and now, this new opportunity to add some jazz to my browser is too much!  So excited.  Ok here are some of my faves...there are over 35,000 options in various categories...I have found that I like the "Firefox" category best because I think the little Firefox guy is super cute and cool...

 Rainbow Fox

Firefox B

Firefox 2x Vision

Firefox Alpha

 So, as I was composing this, it was brought to my attention that these persona things are not in fact, new.  Hmmmm...how could I have not known about them until now?!  Well, they are new to me, so there ya go :)
