I came across the interesting interactive manual of the Blackberry Storm. I'll probably be getting this phone since iphone is an AT&T only item. This looks like it will be the first real threat to the iphone. Only one thing really bugs me about these phones is why they don't include flash support. It’s nothing short of pure stupidity to not include flash support. Nokia phones have flash support so why can't others?

Check it out!

I came across this podcast by podcast by accident and it’s the best I’ve every listen too. It’s very informative and funny. Plus, they have an excellent website full of information and prizes you can win. There hasn't been a podcast yet that I have listened to that I haven’t learned something new or made me remember something I had forgotten. Keep up the good work TWIP.

Chirs Orwig has a great post talking about the great features of Photoshop CS4. Personally "Performance and Navigation"and "Content Aware Scaling" are two of the big ones for me. When you really think about it, everyone wants to to get things done faster. Why else do we all spend thousands of dollars trying to get the fastest PC or MAC we can? I only hope that the pricing is more reasonable this time around than the last time. The cost of upgrades is getting a little ridicules. No matter what though, Photoshop CS4 looks like a winner and I can't wait for it to start shipping.

I thought it would be interesting to see the differnt outcome for AcrCalibrator with the differnt Nikon D300 D-light sittings. I ran these ACR script twice on each setting to be sure and also the target was photographed in the studio under studio flash.This is a very controlled lighting sit up. The changes are subtle but they are there so use them as you please. I recommend though anyone who is serious about color, should preform their own test.

D-Light Off
Shadows +1
Red Primary Hue -16
Red Primary Hue +44
Green Primary Hue -19
Green Primary Saturation -3
Blue Primary Hue +14
Blue Primary Saturation -10

I received this in an email and I thought I'd share it with you. It really makes you realize just how out of hand things have gotten in this world. Maybe we should all try to be a little less dramatic and stop worry so much about stupid things. It just might make things a little bit better for us and our children.
