A friend showed me this game once and I was blown away with the graphics and audio of this game. I’m no gamer but I thoroughly enjoyed the visual experience. Beautiful.

So do you ever wonder how people get their image in blog comment? There are probably a few different ways. But their actually is one way that is used mostly all over the web. And you can get  your free avatar or Gravatar (Globally Recognized Avatar) at gravatar.com simply put in your email address and then you post a comment on pretty much any website in the world, the image you post will should up just like the one below.Try to post a comment on this post?

Gravatar.com description “A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an image that follows you from site to site appearing beside your name when you do things. Avatars help identify your posts on blogs and web forums, so why not on any site?”

Sometimes for a start I like going to sites like color schemer for inspiration. Did you ever want to know what a word architect looks like. Well at least you have a color pallette.  The sample color schemes are just a start from color schemer. they also offer a color scheme sampler widget for the mac and also a down loadable piece of software that allows you to study color relationships.

I found a great utility to make simple seamless textures for web backgrounds and Photoshop brushes. It is extremely simple.

From the makers of Snagit comes Jing. A barebones screen capture program that juts the right amount of features and is so simple to use. And I am a fan of simplicty.

I trialed this new version of sketchbook. There are minimal improvements off of the previous version. Paint bucket and layer thumbnails are nice, but it is up to you to decide whether it is worth the upgrade.
