Google Docs Gets a Drawing Program


Google Docs Gets a Drawing Program:
"You can try this feature by opening a new Google Docs document and clicking Insert -> Drawing. This will pop up an on-page window with a drawing canvas to which you can add things like lines, text, arrows, or shapes from a small object selection. The editor works very well, and you can flexibly adjust adjust colors, position, and size. Saving is done by hitting the X in the top right (that might be a bit odd, the first time), and then the drawing is integrated in your document (and can be edited once again later on if you want)."

ShamWow Pitchman Shlomi Arrested for Battery

ShamWow Pitchman Shlomi Arrested for Battery Feature Story:
"According to the arrest affidavit, on Feb.7, Shlomi, after picking up Sasha Harris, 26, punched her physically multiple times because she “bit his tongue and would not let go.”

Shlomi told police he paid Harris $1,000 when she “propositioned him for straight sex.”

In response to the biting, Shlomi struck the prostitute several times until she let go. Both Shlomi and the alleged prostitute were arrested for felony aggravated battery."

Skype for iPhone to Be Released as Early as Next Week

A tipster — a very reliable one — tells me that Skype is almost ready to launch that iPhone version, perhaps as soon as next week. CTIA Wireless, a large mobile industry trade event, kicks off in Las Vegas next Wednesday, so perhaps the announcement will be made there. I am working on getting more details, as well as screenshots of the service.

How to Develop Film Using Coffee and Vitamin C!

http://photojojo.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/extra2.jpg
using coffee to develop film is not something Ansel Adams would do. But it works, it gives your film a distinctive look, and it has a certain MacGuyver-ish flair. Think of it like using a plastic camera- it’s more about having fun than getting technically flawless results.

With most film types, the results will be more contrasty and grainy than regular developer. If you do this with color film (negatives or transparencies), you’ll end up with black-and-white negatives.

What to read after the Watchmen - DC top 10 list

Watchmen

DC Comics has launched its After Watchmen website, designed to help people find new graphic novels to read after viewing the Watchmen movie.

Each of the twenty books in the After Watchmen program reflects an aspect of Watchmen's broad appeal. From other works by Alan Moore to science fiction tales, and modern super hero action to sophisticated titles for mature readers. The titles of the program are a great entry point for both new fans just discovering graphic novels and established readers looking to try something new.

Drop.io jumps in 'the stream,' goes real-time


Now, file-sharing service Drop.io has opted to turn its "drops"--the pages where people can drag and drop any number of multimedia files and then password-protect them--into streams optimized for collaborative work. If you're working in one of them, it updates instantly for all users.There's also a new feature, much like in Google Docs, Zoho, and other collaboration tools, which lets all members looking at a given "drop" chat with one another. Drop.io has also turned on access to drops from third-party chat clients with Jabber support, like Adium and Pidgin.

There's a DIY project making the rounds that's perfect for sharing your bread with your feathered friends. As you can see above, a simple wood shelf has large holes for the crumbs to fall in, which get collected, and directed down a tube that sails straight to a bird feeder.

I Heart Guts!

I Heart Guts!
I Heart Guts is the brainchild of an anatomically obsessed illustrator who loves internal organs and all they do. Founded in 2005, our little family operation (heh heh..ugh) strives to offer the best in stoopid slogans paired with happy gloppy guts.
The guts grew from a single drawing of a broken heart, after a string of bad hookups, dead-end relationships and bad boyfriends. At the time, I was also doing a lot of drinking, so a sad liver and lung followed. Years later, my wonderful husband wondered, "Why don't you do something with those darned guts?"

Get a Batman BatPhone


When there was trouble in Gotham City on the campy 1960s "Batman" TV show, Police Commissioner James Gordon and Police Chief Miles O'Hara used a red hotline phone to call Batman, who was really the civic-minded billionaire Bruce Wayne.

The Art of Christian Faur.

The Art of Christian Faur.
Through a novel technique that I have developed, I again find myself working with the familiar form of the crayon.
Because of the three-dimensional nature of the crayons, the individual surface images appear to change form as one moves about the gallery space. The images completely disappear when viewed from close up, allowing one to read the horizontally sequenced crayon text and to take in the beautifully colored crayon tips -- all the while being reminded of that first box of crayons.
