New Human Computer Interface

TED is the newest Human Computer Interface I have seen. It is composed of small blocks that are computers with the ability to interact with each other when moved. My descriptions won't do it justice. Check out the demonstration of this amazing new technology here:

One True Media and Photoshop Express

Make photo slide shows at www.OneTrueMedia.com

One True Media and Photoshop Express can be found online. Both are free and allow users to upload and share photos. Here are a few examples I quickly created while at Camp Parks, CA this week. The photo quality is not that great because I used my cell phone to take the photos. I had some problems with Photoshop Express when trying to publish a player for a shared album which is the reason I posted the ugly url below:

Picasa Photo Editing

This week I am spending time in Dublin, CA with the Army reserve teaching soldiers to become medics. I know, it is hard to believe that I am actually in the Army. Since I am away from work; I thought it would be the perfect time to introduce one of my favorite free photo editing tools....Picasa. The photo collage you see pictured above is just one of the many features of this google product. It is a great tool for those who are not up to the task of Adobe Photoshop. Picasa allows color corrections, croppping, text, web albums and of course easy blog posting. Next week I will share my other photo editing favorite.
