A Tale of Two Roxies - or Gradient Fun with Photoshop;)

Now that I have learned just enough to be dangerous with the gradient tool in Photoshop, I am now more sure than ever that Caleb Carr was right when he wrote, "information is not knowledge." That has probably been for me, one of the most profound statements of the digital age. We can never again believe in what we see as any image can be expertly manipulated by just about anyone. How do people determine what is true today in the absence of Google and Wikipedia? Makes we wonder how kids today go about constructing what will be their worldview. 

But doesn't my dog look too cute, though?

Idol Chatter



She's my pick for American Idol this year. She's cute, she's personable, she's got undeniable stage presence (even if she is a bit pitchy at times) and she has a big personality for such a little girl. Even Harsh Harry has nothing bad to say about this wild card pick for American Idol. Barley has the potential to blow the competition wide open if I can just get her to stop licking her privates on stage. Vote Barley and vote OFTEN!
