Posted on 8:32 AM by Unknown
I've been a little distracted by work lately and once I get into programming mode it's tough to get into random drivel mode again.
-----------------------
HOW 'bout dem Packers!!

OK - on that last pass of the game who had visions of a NIGHTMARE happening! I think it's funny how all of a sudden the talking heads are talking about "the balanced offense" the Packers have! Yea - we knew that all along - who cares about that Lynch guy that the Packers could have had for a 6-pack of Hinterland Brown Ale a month or so ago.

remember - Lynch had a 3.5 yard per carry average which was worse the Jackson! He was not worth a 6-pack!

On to Atlanta!
---------------------------
I've been in contact with a retired BIG time advertising agent who loves my work and has been giving me some tips and basically pumping up my head so it's get's actually bigger then what it was!!

One thing he told me this weekend is something I've been asked to do a few times now. Take other peoples photos and run my little magic on those photos (and charge an appropriate fee).

So I've been sort of practicing.

A friend at work sent a few shots from Montana and here is a before and after shot.

 


 The trick here is that the original was really good for blowing up to maybe a 4x6 image but I can get this to a 16x10.  it's not a HUGE amount of difference but . . .  . . actually I'm not sure I like my cropping but hey - it's free!! 

A better example would be - good for an 8x10


And

 
Good for 16x20

So that is yet another plan.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not surprising there was no news about the new grocery store but the real news is I CAN'T WAIT for snow - I got my big ass snow blower gassed up and ready!!  WHO NEEDS SNOW PLOWS!!!   I got it!!  you can skip this street!!  

Ok - I MUST run!
Cheers!
