Techie Weekend: Bing Adventure

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 [...]

Techie Weekend: Zhura.com

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 [...]

A Day of Writing and (Almost) Achieving Goals

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 [...]

Great New Artists Series Out on its Own!

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 [...]

Things Not To Listen To At School

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 [...]

Ghost Ship

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 [...]

Last.fm VS. Yahoo Radio

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 [...]

Next Project…

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 [...]

The Lure of the Educational Website for Kids and an Update on Technological Difficulties

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 [...]

The Internet

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 [...]
