Photoshop CS3 - beta!

Just opened photoshop.com. Finally, Photoshop CS3 is almost out! Native performance on the intel based Macs! I'm sick and tired of using photoshop at a considerably slower speed on the Macbook Pro. You can download the beta here if you like. Considering my connection speed, it'd be best for me if I wait for the full release to come out. (Spring '07, can't wait!). Though, in my opinion as a humble graphic designer, the new CS3 icons is dull. But apparently there's already a buzz going on in the blogging world bout 'em. So I won't blog about it. Check out John Nack on Adobe or Jason Santa Maria.

Me and My Rusty Guitar Fingers

I've been listening to Depapepe lately. I'm not really a big fan of J-Pop, but this one, I can enjoy. Just two guys with two guitars. Usually the first guy plays the rhythm, while the other bangs on with straightforward melodies. They're really easy on the ears but memorable from the very first time you hear them. Air guitaring and the occasional head banging is not very common when it comes to accoustic pieces, but I'll make an exception for this band. I do agree with you, the name IS stupid. But as soon as you hear their music, it doesn't matter.

That said, I've developed a sudden craving for the 6 strings. It has been almost a year since I last played touched my guitar. Thanks to these guys, yesterday I cleaned up my rusty accoustic, changed the strings, and got iTunes on repeat. The initial plan was to learn those straightforward melodies and copy them. Well, at least that was the plan. Turns out, these fingers are as rusty as those old strings. I never was a great guitarist. No, that would be this guy, but I ain't that bad. Alas, you can't tell by the way I'm playing now. T_T

Hot Stuff!

I want this! Don't know what I would use it for. Maybe I'd finally get the jogging mood back on if I combine it with technology. These evergrowing flabs really need a complete overhaul. But then again, I just want it cos it's DAMN HOT!

Blog Redesign

Got bored with blogger's template, so I'm giving my page a makeover. You'll see a couple of changes in a few days. Stop by every now and then.

Damn Straight!

Calvin, my boy, you don't know how right you are... .

Creativity at its Best

Lately I've found my very own sanctuary for blogging. Thank God for the invention of Wi-Fi. Now I can poop my ideas (this was an old friend's motto, but it really suits the moment).

Note to self:
NO WEBCAMS WHEN BLOGGING, NO WEBCAMS WHEN BLOGGING, NO WEBCAMS WHEN BLOGGING!

The 5 Most Annoying Places for a Mosquito Bite

1. On the upper wall of the nasal cavity (that's the the upper wall of the inside of your nose for you who don't speak medically, or don't open wikipedia compulsively for his/her blog :))) ). Try scratching it. Yeah, right now. Easy? Now imagine doing that when there's a swelling. (BTW, you look good with your finger in your nose)
2. Just beneath the eyes. If you scratch it, the swelling gets worse. And suddenly you have the worst plastic surgery ever performed on a human being.
3. On the sole of your foot. You can apply lotions, but try sratching it... . C'mon, humor me, try it.
4. On your tongue. Enough said.
5. On junior... . Yep, good old junior... . FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T SCRATCH IT!

Some of them are based on experience. Which one, you said? Number five, you said? No comment, I said.
