The Auto Industry in 2010

2009-07-20T11:36:00.005-05:00

I have been living in the United States for 16 years now, and I have missed three of Chicago's yearly Autoshow. I was looking through the box that I store all these posters and brochures that I collect, and this particular pamphlet caught my attention. The reason for this is that 2010 is almost here and it makes me think about how the American auto industry has been a victim of its own greed,

It's Been a While . . .

Since I have posted anything. Here are some updates of my evil and not so evil doings. I finally graduated from Chicago State University F. I. N. A. L. L. Y.! I'm selecting/refining/redoing images and work to put up on my website as well as thinking how to come up with a mobile version of my website. Mobile will be the way to go. Updates are coming soon, so in the mean time enjoy a presentation

Including Images in your Blog Article

2009-03-18T18:21:00.005-05:00

If you are including images in your article, think about the number of images that will be in it. I was reading a posting that read 99 Images of Amazing Websites. I tried to look at as many as possible, but I stopped at number 25. Split the article in two, even three postings if you want to include that amount of images. Make the article more concise so that people will read/look through it.It

Shephard Farey

I really think that he did not know that the poster was going to be so popular. Regardless, this is not the first time he has done it. I heard the NPR interview and he did not answer if he had made a financial gain from doing the poster, because of the pending trial with the Associated Press. He is walking a real fine line in terms of fair use and appropriation. These pieces of work are in

Google Docs is the Best

2009-03-04T14:10:00.006-06:00

Couple reasons why I like Google Docs:Imports MS Word, Powerpoint, and Excel format files, PDFs and many other formats as well. (No MS Office 2007+ compatibility yet)E-mail interface for browsing documents.No folder hierarchy to documents. (My favorite feature. Documents shouldn't be stuck to one category)You can enable offline use by installing Google Gears.The best feature of any product: It's

Eric Schmidt at Morgan Stanley Technology Conference

2009-03-04T13:30:00.003-06:00

Eric Schmidt CEO of Google Inc. had an interview at the Morgan Stanley Technology Conference. It's forty one minutes long, but one quote did catch my attention. It is about monetizing on new technologies, and a new business model that the internet is introducing and forever changing. It shows that they are a different type of company and has an understanding of the nature of the internet."You

Google Start Button

2009-02-25T02:04:00.004-06:00

Google has a new toolbar for Internet Explorer (version 6 beta). What caught my eye after the installation was the taskbar. It installed a Google 'Start' button so that when you press it, a little search box appears in your desktop. The search box is not new, it was included in Google Desktop, and the user is able to open it by pressing the CTRL key twice.Where do you want to Google today? Google

Useful HDR Trick

Interesting tip in episode 92, from Ben Willmore who was a guest on Bert Monroy's Pixel Perfect Podcast.P.S.
