Take a look at where we live
Today Google released the street view mode for 13 more cities in the US and expanded some already existing ones like Los Angeles and San Fransisco. Apparently they have been driving with their car here on our street so now you can almost see our house! At least the building in front of us. You can click and drag on the image to rotate the view and click on the arrows on the street to move the car around. This is the coolest ever!

Some Adobe Photoshop podcasts for you!
I usually take some minutes of the day to check out my podcasts within iTunes on my computer. I subscribe to a couple of photoshop related ones too since I spend some time wit that program for my photos. There is a new one called Photoshop Killer Tips hosted by Matt Kloskowski which are short small movie clips about good tips in Photoshop. Go there and subscribe via iTunes.
Try GoogleTalk
For those of you who run into problems with Skype, VoipBuster or just had enough of MSN messengers bad voice quality, make sure you give the tne GoogleTalk application a try. It features a very simple interface without conference call or webcam support, but provides in many situations a much better voice over IP experience. GoogleTalk requires a GMail account (GoogleMail), which is a hotmail-like webmail service that boasts more than 2600Mb of storage for your emails!! Rather amazing. You cannot open a GMail account just like that; you need to be invited by a friend that already has it (like me).
Make your photos look better!
There are different ways of making your photos impact more on your viewers (most important is of course the image itself), and creating visually pleasing borders, and or framing to them is one way. I usually frame my photos (as seen in the Black&White gallery), and I believe it is nicer to look at. It can be a bit challenging to make borders if you are not used to e.g. photoshop. I found a great program to help you out. Mostly I create mine myself inside photoshop but this tool makes it fun too! It’s called BorderMaker and is a java program tha can create all kinds of borders, rounded ones or straight, text from EXIF, colors, resizing - a bit of everything. Just choose which photos you want and it will create copies of them with borders. It is great and is worth a try. Free too!
RSS feeds added
I have added a RSS feed link in the right sidebar on top (the little one in color) for those of you who use news readers. If you choose to subscribe to my site, your news reader will automatically tell you whenever I update my site with new info. Most web sites today have this feature, and if you have some favorite sites you check every day for new information, you could as well have a news reader instead that directly shows you what is new and what is old. I think it is excellent. Personally I subscribe to some digital photography sites like DP review and Rob Galbraith. To read more about RSS, please check out What is RSS?
There are loads of different news readers for both PC and MAC that are free, and some web browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Safari have built in support for news feeds. If you cannot get the link to work properly with your news reader you might have to copy this following link and paste it into your newsreader (I know Opera and the Firefox plugins work this way): http://www.henriksoderlund.com/?feed=rss2
