In other news, Clinton supporter stabs Obama supporter.
Check out the really cool online access to 70 years of New York Times archives they are calling, “TimesMachine”.

lowercase L, a unique blog trying to unravel the psychology of the lowercase L offenders in an uppercase surrounding.

Another funny Photoshop lesson from Donnie Hoyle, where he tires to hot up a facebook photo for a lucky fan. In his own mean and some what brutal way as he tries to make his fan into a “Mom he’d like to Facebook” , we get to see how to use the patch tool and levels.
