I started thinking about cell shading tonight and then followed a tutorial I found online for Photoshop (link to tutorial). In the end it came out different because I liked step 4 better alone. I might develop my Photoshop skills in my free time and post the results here.

The other day I saw something truly disgusting, and forgot to write about it. I was stopped at a traffic light and the van behind me had a boy at least in his late teens in the passenger seat. He was using his cellphone to pick his ear. I’m sorry, but that is not the correct use of CDMA.

Four Tigers escaped from the San Francisco Zoo today (Tuesday). I would make a witty remark, but one person died and one Tiger was shot. If only no one had died, then I could make a joke or something.
It could have been good too.

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday, again. I did it once before around Hanukkah. I am an equal opportunity well-wisher.
I am hoping to use this 4-day weekend to get some projects of mine moving. And of course I will let you know when I do anything significant. Off the top of my head is a site for Amazon Kindle news for me, and some design work for other people. I even have a few things cooking for the new year. More details will be coming once things are setup.
Sincerely,
Jason

I just noticed that Facebook has removed the forced “is” to start your status updates. It still fills in the “is” but it’s part of the text box so you can replace it with anything you want. This is a huge win for English majors and grammar aficionados everywhere.
