"I lost a world the other day..."

I think I was actually a little disappointed to awake and discover it looks like we're still stuck with the 2.9% of the earth's human population (200 million/3.9 billion) that Harold Camping promised we'd be rid of come 6 p.m. local time (which it is now long past in much of the world, ergo...). I am left with a question for Camping, though. Given ( Read more... )

My editor suggested only a single very minor change to ms. page 431 (out of 488 pages).

Never mind, maybe the world is ending.

Congratulations!

There are certain words that I do not take lightly. This is sexy. (And I am delighted for you and even proud of you.)

Sexy, huh?

Photoshop pisses me off.

When it's only a resizing job, I've been using Apple's Preview program that's built-in to the current versions of the OS. Under the Tools menu there are options for some of the basic tweaking that photos require before posting. Much faster and leaner than Photoshop...

I seem incapable of using anything but Photoshop.

Ah, okay. My recommendation would have been Irfanview. It's a freeware/careware program that does little else than manipulate images in size, format, and color balance. But even on further thought, I'm not sure it runs on a Mac.

I was wondering if after the Rapture, all the agnostics would have their clothes teleported off.

Cute.

The third movie really was good. But I long for a prequel.

The third movie was a prequel.

I mean the prequel that would take us back to the beginning. A good, old fashioned mesoamerican horror tale.

Oh. But I think it would still beg the question.

Anyway, I think that's a bit above the direct-to-DVD mentality.
