Hello!
I am posting solely because I made a couple of new icons today. The new default may not be my default for long, but I like it right now because it features something that I actually drew. I have been trying to get into that more, but it's hard to find the time and motivation. Randy recently gave my a copy of Photoshop, though, so I wanted to start getting used to it again.
I went to my company's Associates Meeting this weekend, which is when all of the people currently going through the LDP meet up and learn about what is going on with the company, etc. One thing that was big news is that we are going to enter the photobook world in an even bigger way than we have been. Currently we print pretty much all of the iPhoto books, but next week we're launching our very own website, Snapshot U. It's going to be a site that you can upload pictures to, combine them with photos and logos from your college and make a photobook to use as an album or a coffee table book. It's actually pretty cool, since there are some pretty cool pictures for you to choose from, like action shots from games and cheerleaders and such.
Doing this sort of thing - blogging about our new products - is something they encouraged us to do. I'm not really sure how effective it will be. Even if all 200 or so people who attended the conference went home and tweeted about this, would it really impact anything? I guess we'll see.
Anyway, here are the other two userpics I made today:
