Basic image editing for the internet

Just yesterday, I was reminded that occasional users of digital images sometimes need just a little bit more information about what they are attempting to do.

Proofreaders are always needed

The defining of style classes for all if the information boxes in the left side column went much quicker than I had anticipated. Now the colors and general style of each individual area can be controlled from the stylesheet, a critical consideration when building a template that will be resold over...

A quick little project update

As I go along on a major project I like to take pictures of it, screen capture images that I can utilize in a number of ways. Everything from the construction of future promotional pages to jogging my brain's memory centers. The prjoect I am working on now has 4,500 files. It is my intention to only...

I know it is an early update but it has been 9 hours

Cybor Junk can be valuable junk sometimes as well

By "Cybor Junk" I mean that bevy of countless digital products that have been widely distributed or used in viral campaigns and are at the end of their lifespan.

Many myopic dreamers are found in business
