WASHINGTON (AFP) — The eastern port of Baltimore became the first major city in the United States on Monday to be blanketed with a wireless broadband network that uses next-generation mobile WiMAX technology.

GotCast.com – Vote for Bear

Late Friday night I got an email from GotCast.com. The same “newsletter” email I get every night. In it was a casting that caught my eye, so I decided to go check it out. When I got there, I saw they were casting for the TV Series, “Hell’s Kitchen” and I thought WOW.. my hubby would be GREAT on this show… So I looked when the casting was ending and it doesn’t end for another month so I decided to sign him up!

As Andy and I were driving to Phoenix yesterday, he asked me, “Did you tell Bear you signed him up for Hell’s Kitchen on GotCast.com?” I said, OMG! No! I forgot… So, I called him up and told him. He was super excited and started telling everyone he knows and I’m doing the same.

Since yesterday, he’s already received 80 votes and he’s in the #12 spot. He’s a great cook and I’d like to see him give Gordan Ramsey hell. (no pun intended) in “Hell’s Kitchen.

I’m blogging this on the TechtalkRadio Blog in hopes that everyone will vote for him every day!

So if you have a spare moment, vote for him at http://www.gotcast.com/papabear

Thanks!

      Photoshop Cafe

      PhotoshopCAFE Presents:

      It’s been exactly three weeks since the Photoshop World Convention in Las Vegas. I haven’t had a chance to write a thing about what I had seen and what products we had a chance to look at and bring back with us from the convention.

      I’ve tested out some of the products we brought back like Fluid Mask 3, the #1 still-image masking tool and SiteGrinder 2 which turns Adobe Photoshop into an easy-to-use and powerful website design and production tool. I’m also going to take a look at LicenseStream, a product by ImageSpan that lets you manage the rights, permissions, and licenses for your photos and videos.

      The product I did get a chance to test out and use in depth was the training video that I received from Colin Smith of PhotoshopCafe. The Photoshop and Dreamweaver Integration Tutorial DVD he hand us at the conference has saved me hours and hours of website design work.

      This training tutorial has been the most useful tool for me as a web designer. Yes, I’ve seen videos on YouTube that helped me in certain areas of what I do but the Photoshop and Dreamweaver Integration Tutorial Video from Colin Smith helped me in ALL areas of what I need to do for the Photoshop designs that I created.

      Mr. Smith also gave us “Flash CS3 for Designers” to try out and I am excited about this DVD as well since we are finding out more and more that our clients really want to add some Flash on their websites. I have only scratched the surface when it comes to Flash, but I know that Mr. Smith will teach me quite a bit more of what I need to know to help our clients!

      So, if you are searching for a tutorial video that will help you in your web design skills, I highly recommend Colin Smith’s PhotoshopCAFE Training Tutorials. You can find his Tutorials by visiting http://www.photoshopcafe.com/.

      Take a look and browse around the site. He has some useful snippets of videos for products like the new CS4 products, CS3, Lightroom and much, much more!
