Adobe Lightroom Adventure slideshow

Quicktime movie: click

A really interesting slideshow of pictures from the Adobe junket to Iceland, where a whole bunch of photographers took pics there and used Lightroom to process/cull.

This isn't so much about lightroom as it is about the pictures, which is fine by me.

5. How far in advance do you submit comics?

The daily comic needs to be e-mailed to my syndication company about 4 weeks ahead of its publication date. The Sunday strips require more processing by the newspapers (because of the color) and have to be in about 8 weeks ahead of publication. Lately I’m only a week or so ahead of those deadlines. When I first started in this business, I was 6 months ahead of deadline. I’ve been chipping away at that buffer ever since.

Vista is a cheaper windows

Time for some Vista luuurve.

Understanding the True Cost of Windows

 

Hypothesis

22 years of inflation has made Windows Vista cheaper than previous versions of Windows.

...

So Is Vista Really Cheaper?

Based on the evidence presented, I've shown conclusively that Windows Vista is the most inexpensive operating system they've released to date. After almost 10 years of steep price increases, the MSRP of Windows has been flat for more than a decade, with the cost after inflation steadily decreasing since then. One would expect that the cost of Windows would rise with inflation, but I have shown that simply isn't the case. And while newspapers are quick to trump the (so far) subdued public excitement for the Windows Vista launch compared to Windows 95, purchasing that OS in today's dollars is a VERY tall order.

Had to smile at the guy who put this together :

just shows you who is running the tech blogs nowadays. You just need to read digg for a while to see the average age is, um , low.
