You notice the latest trend in watches is having funky LED lights that represent the time shown? Some don’t even use numbers at all. They’re competely abstract. That’s a bit extreme for me. I still like to see numbers. Below is a collection of the latest LED watches. Some are 20-24% off retail price including […]

ebay is getting on my nerves
ebay has been a necessary evil for selling my artwork. They raise their rates on an annual basis, sometimes twice a year. Their most recent price hike just murdered ebay stores owners (of which I am one.) Now ebay is changing the feedback ratings. “In addition to the current positive, negative, or neutral comment, buyers […]

sounds good on crappy headphones

Nowadays it’s pretty clear that QuarkXPress is second fiddle to Adobe InDesign. There’s plenty of reasons why. Well, I’ll add another. On Quark’s site they list the top 10 reasons to upgrade to XPress 7. I was hoping to find some solid, concrete reasons to upgrade. Instead it was all fluff; especially numbers 1, 5, […]
