So you’ve probably seen their ads all over TV and the internet but what is Bing really like? Rather than wait around (or Google around) for someone else’s review of the site I decided to have a Bing adventure and see if I really could Bing and decide.
Destination Bing
So not only is the site’s background [...]

I found Zhura through the 48 Hour Film Project website on their list of free script writing programs to try. Having downloaded some in the past and not really liking them I was surprised to find Zhura to be totally web based and free forever.
If you’re a screenplay writer you’ll like Zhura’s traditional layout and [...]

With the publication of my latest article about Online Photo Sharing Communities in Suite 101 I realised I am halfway to my writing goal of ten articles for this month/week. Actually I haven’t decided if that goal is for the week or for the next two weeks or for the month because I have so [...]

Well it’s finally happened, something I have written has struck out on its own and gotten its very own blog ::sniff::I’m so proud::sniff::. The series has been so popular here on Art 2.0 that I gave it its own home at http://greatnewartists.today.com
This means that you have to visit that site to read the articles from [...]

As long as this list is there is one thing that has mercifully stood out which I have heard for the last 3.5 years at school as something not to listen to (mind you, I’m speaking mostly about art school here) and that is: “You suck!” Apparently after you become an artist in real life [...]

I love this picture! It is very rare that I say that (publicly) about my own work but in this case I got the ship down perfectly. It took an hour just for the ship to come to life and I didn’t think I would get it to look that much like what I had in my [...]

I have recently discovered something about myself…I’m obsessed with internet radio. Regular radio sucks comparatively so I thought I would post some thoughts about my two favorite internet radio station players/programs/communities.
Last.fm is a community I discovered about a year ago (this is debatable because I honestly don’t remember when I found out about it). At [...]

I am further alongon a work in progress based on the Asteroid video game (you remember Atari, right?). It is meant to have a little sense of humor. I’m exploring brushes and photoshop techniques for more realism which is not much of a factor in this one, obviously. I have several ideas that I will [...]

Something I was thinking of earlier today that really irritates me (and what’s a blog if not a forum for anybody and everybody to complain about what irritates them?) is every housewife on Earth being concerned with educational websites for children.
This irritates me for one of a number of reasons which I have yet to decide [...]

I suddenly have a love/hate relationship with the internet. Usually this doesn’t happen. Usually it’s a love/love “I have no problems with anything online, bring it on, I can fix it,” type of relationship. In short: I’m the queen of the internet.
However today I was about to get on Second Life when it tells me [...]
