Serious Competition for Picnik? computing, fotos, internets, music, news, tech | (0)
The buzz on the web today is all about Photoshop Express, Adobe's new and completely free online version of Photoshop. Don't get too excited, it's far from the real deal, but it does let you crop, sharpen, remove red-eye, and add basic effects to your photos, things the average, everyday digicam user wants yet can't justify paying for Photoshop to have. I've actually been using the site Picnik, for simple editing and touch-ups like this for some time. I do have Photoshop on my desktop computer, but Picnik is great for simple, quick editing when I don't want to wait for ...

Save the Worst for Last Holidays, books, college, computing, food, internets, movies, tech | (1)
My last final is tomorrow, the much-dreaded history final. I've never done well in history and this professor's "fit as much non-chronologically relayed information into an hour and 15 minutes as possible with no discussion" method does not help me. After tomorrow I will be free until January 7. Here's some of the things I'm going to be doing:·A lot of reading·Relaxing·Watching movies·Moving my site to Wordpress (real Wordpress with real hosting, w00t!)·Making my Christmas list·Shopping (hopefully)·Eating!Oh yeah, if you have this site bookmarked with any url other than http://ohbuoyancy.net change your bookmark to that now as any other address ...

Vote! computing, internets, politics, tech | (2)
I'm actually registering to vote for the first time ever. Sure I could have 6 years ago, but I didn't pay any attention to politics then; this is the first time that I've felt strongly enough about it to actually pay attention and vote.I used Rock The Vote to fill out my registration form. I recommend it over the standard register to vote site. With Rock The Vote they give you the form right away while on the other site they want you to read what's practically a dissertation on who is allowed to vote (which most people already know) ...

Improved - Procrastination on 43things 43things, college, computing | (0)
While I’m still not perfect on this, I’ve greatly improved and don’t procrastinate nearly as much. One thing that has helped me the most is making do to lists at least twice a week. I usually have one for the weekend and then a new one on Monday or Tuesday. When I’m overwhelmed with tasks it makes it less stressful to have all of them written down, so I can see what needs to be down instead of trying to remember it all. It’s a good feeling of accomplishment when I get things done and see the list getting smaller ...

The Great Internet Crisis Of 2007 computing, internets | (2)
Major internet problems today. Until about two hours ago I could not access any Google site, that means no Gmail! no Reader, no News, no Gmail!, no searching, no Gmail!, and no logging into Blogger either. Actually it appeared that, of all the sites I had visited last night I could only access one of them today, and that was IMDB.com. I couldn't visit any of the 43things sites, iconbuffet, or Veer either (plus a few others).I tried everything I could think of. I cleared my cache multiple times, restarted, reset my cable modem and my router. It wasn't just ...
