Why 3D Doesn’t Matter
Despite my continued silent revolt against it, it seems that every sector of the entertainment industry is trying to force 3D television and movies down our throats.

Majority acceptance of false claims renders the truth on par with a conspiracy theory. This allows those who do not seek the evidence to gain at least some small sense of reassurance by thinking that the opposing argument (which is reality) is silly and therefore to be laughed off.
If you have used Photoshop for any length of time you quickly realize that there are many different methods and styles to it’s use. You can usually achieve the same effect using a host of methods and usually we find one way to do something and just stick with it. For most objectives this really isn’t about which way is better but rather which is the best solution for you. It’s up to us to seek or develop new, more efficient methods, or if it fancies us, to stick with what we know and to hell with the rest. Long story short: There really is no “wrong” way to use Photoshop.
Our selected feature, The Haunting In Connecticut (2009), opens subtly with white text on a black screen. As a big fan of Woody Allen I couldn’t really argue that decision. It’s reserved, traditional and succinct if only somewhat pretentious. There’s only one problem though…It’s in Papyrus font!
The day of reckoning has come for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 6. More importantly, however, the time has come for all of us as a species from web designers and developers to janitors and zoologists to forget that it ever existed.
Back in February, Barry signed a new bill into law raising the federal tax on cigarettes by about $1.00. Despite your opinion about smoking or smokers, I think picking on smokers and/or the tobacco companies is ultimately a good thing, and it is “picking on them”. Let’s not fool ourselves. Honestly, it couldn’t be a better situation.
Given the males evolutionary predisposition to be hunter-gatherers it is somewhat of a mystery as to why men in general do not like to go shopping. All the elements are there (except maybe the rush of killing something, which might actually be the reason why we don’t bother), but yet some of us dread the almost seemingly pointless activity. My solution? Body Scanning.
One of my projected and ultimately realized fantasies about moving to and living in New York was that I was not going to have to drive anymore. At one point in my life I absolutely loved getting in the car on a cool summer night and driving on the abandoned highways listening to my favorite music. It was just me, my thoughts and semi-trucks. Somewhere between those glorious, carefree days and today I lost some of that passion, which was ultimately replaced with anxiety while being in a moving automobile.
Over the years I have read countless arguments, listened to endless debates, and discussed personally the ideas of evolution. Obviously, I don’t claim to be any kind of scientist, but in light of the fact that the same arguments against evolution seem to always pop up I thought I would list some of the more persistent misunderstandings and try my best to explain why those misconceptions are just plain wrong.
For my next suggested viewing material I have chosen the Perimeter Institute Public Lectures Series. The Perimeter Institute was founded in 1999 by Mike Lazaridis and Howard Burton. The institute has around 60 resident researchers, but more interestingly plays host to hundreds of visiting international researchers each year for collaborations and workshops. Some of these visiting “guests” give a public lecture, which the Perimeter Institute puts on their website for everyone to view, for free naturally.
