1000 Down and Still Going Strong…

I just posted the 1000th photo to Picture Yourself. It has grown to a point that is amazing, and I am always surprised when new photos come in from around the globe. Thank you to everyone that has contributed in the past and who will do so in the future.

I also posted my first Lomoized image to Pixelog. The effect took a boring photo that was in my unused photo stack and make it perfect in it’s own special way.

On a side note, Picture

Luscious Lomo Wannabe…

I got Photoshop installed and after beating my head against the wall and re-reading an e-mail from Jennifer three times I figured out how to load an action. From there, I Lomo-ized photos. Here are some before and after shots:

McDonald’s, Main Street, Downtown Houston – Before Lomo-izing, After Lomo-izing. (Pop-up for larger view.)

Butterfly, Cockrell Butterfly Center, Houston – Before Lomo-izing, After Lomo-izing. (Pop-up for larger view.)

I followed the written instructions on the McDonald photo. I used the “Lomo Normal” action on the butterfly photo. Being a total Photoshop rookie, using the action was much easier!

Porta-Potty WiFi…

Yahoo! has more info on the iLoo. This thing just cracks me up. Where is the Lysol wipes dispenser so you can clean off that keyboard? And you know they would won’t be marketing these in the US any time soon because all the monitors and keyboards would be stolen. (No, I’m not dissin’ people in the U.S. You know I’m right about that.)

MSN in the Can…

Hanging out at a concert and need to go to the bathroom? Want to check your e-mail while you’re there or surf your favorite blogs? Microsoft has announced their latest offering – the iLoo!

The iLoo being developed by the MSN division of Microsoft (MSFT) in Britain is a standard portable toilet — a loo to the English — with a wireless keyboard and extending, height-adjustable plasma screen in front of the seat.

For those people waiting in line, their will be waterproof displays where you can check your Hotmail account. Maybe it’s just me, but I think that some shit really shouldn’t ever be developed. Pardon the pun…

Of course, I first read about this on the little Captivate screen in my elevator, so I guess I’m just a few steps away from the information overload level, am I not?
