These are STILL the most popular images upon my Flickr Gallery! This all started in September 2006 when I made half-a-dozen images with IRFANVIEW. Now I make new graphics for the DESIGNIS meme when a little bored. Plus it helps show far my graphic-editing/creation skills have progressed. Views: 400 and growing fast! Views: 357 and...

A new and good friend has told me that 1stWebDesigner have published a list of the top 28 Online Photo Editing Websites. Great list, but most of them are simply a bit of fun.

Stephen has Needs…
Seems I missed the point of this meme. In order to obtain the 10 things that I apparently need, I'm supposed to use Google to find usable statements that are preceded by 'insert-name-here needs'. To give each statement some validity, I've put the corresponding link upon the end of each.It took a while, but I... Continue Reading →

The wife and I have collected enough decorations over the last few years to wrap the earth twice, and... Continue Reading →
