My web browsers in order of usage. I was just noticing how good they all look now, so I thought I get them all together. Opera for general, long sessions of browsing. Opera 10.50 pictured above. Chrome + AdThwart for looking up something quickly, or if something doesn’t work quite correctly in Opera. Firefox mostly for [...]
Edit: Oops – there’s actually a much simpler way. Right click on the tab area > Customize > Enable thumbnails in tabs The Opera 10 beta has introduced a new tab feature that lets you resize tabs and expand them to show a full thumbnail. You can either click and drag it down, or middle [...]

It has been great for tagging and cataloging my photo archives and getting rid of some of the useless files – although now the Lightroom archives files themselves take up over 2gb! I was skeptical at first – I [...]
These are a lot of fun to make. Quite easy when you have the right software, too. I got the idea from Vincent-B who also shows the basic idea in this video. He seems to use “Motion” in Final Cut Pro in OSX, while I used After Effects in Windows. There are other programs that [...]
We had really nice lighting yesterday with the sunlight behind us, going into the darker, stormy weather. I always love that kind of light. Reminds me of Jeffrey Smart’s paintings. Obviously, the sky wasn’t quite as dramatic as in the photos, but it was a dark sky. The sky usually looks better when it’s darker [...]
This was kind of fun. A little challenge to make a wallpaper in 5 minutes. This turned out to be closer to 10 minutes but I was enjoying it. Made using brushes and coloured using a Gradient Map adjustment layer. Size is 1600x1200px. And a darker version. Download the PSD file (4mb)
