My GPS Camera Phone

If you own a Mac, you’ve got to check out the Preview program. There’s more to it than I expected.

Yes, I’ve been away for a bit. Thanks to Dan for checking on my status, which kind of made me feel a little like Abe Vigoda. In case you were wondering, he’s still alive.

Anyway, I’ve been running around like crazy trying to tie up a thousand loose ends before I undergo minor back surgery on Thursday. I’ll be out of work for almost three weeks, so I’m hoping to be around more often, at least for those three weeks. Thanks for being patient (pun intended) with me. On to the good stuff.

I’ve included a video tutorial created by Revver user jennyrusks who can be found at Laughing Lion Design, based in Dublin Ireland. Jenny clearly explains how to create a duotone image, which is just that – an image of two colors. Pay attention, because this is some good stuff. I’m going to be posting my own camera phone duotone (that’s catchy) soon and I’m thinking about taking a page from Chica’s book and asking for submissions.

Enjoy the video and I’ll be back on Wednesday with another Wordless Wednesday abstraction.

The past 12 days have been exactly what you see here. Me passed out on University Avenue, watching cars pass by.

OK, maybe not, but it certainly felt like time flew by. My kids were out of school on Spring break and away for the entire time. My wife and I had a quiet house to ourselves. The days came and went. The kids returned safely home. Nancy finishes the Spring semester in about two weeks.

I’m not sure how this happens, but it feels like a time warp. Maybe Dan could explain it, since he’s a sci-fi writer and all that. Maybe I need inertial dampers to slow things down. Maybe I should quit my job and support my family as a pro blogger. LOL! Double LOL!

Either way, time is what it is and all I know is that I’m one year older as of the 6th of this month (gratuitous birthday mention) and I feel so much better for it. Go on and pass birthday wishes to Rolando as well, as he just turned 24 (again). If you have a birthday and I don’t know or didn’t remember, let me know and I’ll give you props.

As far as the site is concerned, you’ll notice the neato cool Revver widget thingy on the sidebar that contains the hundreds of video tutorials I’ve produced. OK, it’s only four, but the magnitude of their quality makes it seem like hundreds. I’m working on another one, so stay tuned.

Future improvements:

• putting back the top commentators widget as soon as it gets fixed for Wordpress 2.5
• adding some other cool widget that actually serves a purpose – suggestions are welcome
• opening a Cafepress shop so you can buy magnets and thongs with my photos on them…nah, too much work, but maybe in a year or ten
• asking you to send me your fab camera phone photos so you can be the next guest poster on this awesomely popular PR3 blog (pending me setting up an e-mail address for it)
• Strive to be like Joeprah, even though that is nearly impossible – at least his wit and humor can inspire me

Stay tuned for more exciting camera phone photos, like a cloud or a rock or maybe even a tree. Yeah man, breakin’ the rules.

That’s how I roll.
