“There once was a UI Designer
Who thought a right-nav was more finer.
But users bemoaned
When they could not find “Home”,
And simply restarted their browser.”

I’m not sure how recently - but New York finally got some updated Google Street View imagery. It’s not 100% coverage of the city, so you still get some of the old crusty images here and there, such as in the above. To see just how much of an upgrade it is start here and advance forward one step.

kevin:

They’re filming a movie called “The Other Guys” outside my office (Broome & Centre St.) so I checked IMDB to see about the cast… not too shabby!
Also, I don’t ever recall visiting Dwayne Johnson’s IMDB page but Firefox history doesn’t lie.

They’ve been taking over all around Chinatown/City Hall

jon: wow, it's pretty big
me: it doesnt have a mount rushmore
me: not interested
jon: ahahaha
jon: so mount rushmore is your standard for continents worth your interest then?
me: look, if the inhabitants of the place aren't proud enough to give the middle finger to a fucking mountain and carve a face out of it, for all intents and purposes, its irrelevant

The many sliders of Photoshop CS4

mrgan:

Preferences > Memory Usage

Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast

Filters

Blur (note the rendering of the thumb arrow)

Layer Blending

Layer Style

Threshold

Color Balance

Things to keep in mind:

These can be found in just Photoshop; I can’t imagine what I’d find elsewhere in the suite. Actually, fine, here’s the first one I found in Illustrator CS5:

The most common out of all these seems to be second one, Brightness Adjustment.

They’re all ugly. The only near-acceptable one is the Layer Style slider.

None of these looks like the standard OS X slider:
