Everyday Nerd

I’m a bit of a photo fanatic - I really enjoy amateur photography.  I’m OK with Photoshop, but there is an easier way of creating some really cool effects - Dumpr.net.  There are many different effects to choose from - just upload your photo, choose a photo from Flickr, and that’s it! 

Above is just a sample of the effects you can do at Dumpr.  Go, upload, then brag about your ’shop skills!

ThinkGeek.com is one of my favorite online stores.  I could go broke very easily, buying all the cool stuff they have!  Here’s a few of my favorites:

• Levitation Wand
• Night Vision Goggles
• Star Wars Force FX Lightsabers
• Wi-Fi Detector Shirt
• “There’s No place like 127.0.0.1″ T-Shirt
• Binary Dad T-Shirt
• i read your e-mail T-Shirt

I could list a TON of t-shirts, but I’ll let you go out and see them for yourselves!

Ubuntu Linux version 8.10 is now released!  Ubuntu 8.10, or Intrepid Ibex, comes bundled with everything you need for web, music, productivity and watching video!  Ubuntu is one of the easiest flavors of Linux for new beginners to dip their toes into the open source world of computing.  As soon as my download finishes, you know what I’ll be doing this afternoon!

It’s been a long time since MTV was actually associated with music videos… but it’s now returned to it’s roots - online anyway!  From first looks, MTV Music looks like a tremendous website - clean interface, flash video streaming, and a huge selection of music!  Now if only CMT would do the same thing…
