Disclaimer : Before we begin, you should know that I am not a photoshop expert, or even good at it, and the last time I seriously tried to learn photoshop was back in 1997. I still have the Photoshop 4 book, sitting unread, on my shelf. So I'm more of a photshop hack, and yesterday with almost no knowledge i was able to quickly create a decent zombie pic. So grab some Halloween spirit and lets photoshop. Make Quick and Dirty Zombie with Photoshop Start with a decent photo of yourself or your intended victim. 1. The Eyes are the windows to the soul, and our soulless zombie needs dead eyes. All i did was take the Dodge Tool and work the eyes until they were lifeless, dead and evil looking. 2. Zombies are Pale , so lets play with the Brightness and Contrast . Either of the entire photo or just the skin. 3.

Very Cool Google Doodle today paying tribute to John Lennon for his 70th Birthday. The Video played when clicking the logo is on YouTube:

There has been a lot of hype in the media this week, stating that use of Internet Exporer use has fallen bellow 50% of market share.  From CNN Money: StatCounter, which tracks Internet data, said that IE's share of the browser market fell to 49.9% in September. More people still use IE than any other single browser, but the combined market share of non-Microsoft browsers now outpaces IE. Not being one to take their word for it (Sorry CNN), I went and checked some of the websites I run, and their roll-up reports in Google Analytics. Based on over 5.1 Million Visits in the past 30 days, these sites (based in Canada) still show IE with more than 57% share, and Firefox in the number two spot at 21%. I'm not stating that IE is not on the decline, but despite the hype, the reality here in Canada still has Microsoft and Internet Explorer leading the pack. ~ BTW, this post is written on a Mac using Chrome ;)
