The Beatles - Revolver

Dusting off my old records,
yeah, probably my favorite The Beatles album
Revolver... it was 1966, I wasn't born yet
but this album goes straight to my heart


Did you know?
3 out of 4 Beatles are vegetarian (vegan?)
and Paul McCartney is a long-time activist for PETA
he narrated the video Glass Walls
based on the quote:
"If slaughterhouses had glass walls,
everyone would be a vegetarian (vegan, ideally)."


Get on the right fair side of history: Don't eat or use animals.

Adobe Creative Suite 3 (CS3) Seminar

a couple of weeks ago i went to an
Adobe Creative Suite 3 Seminar

i was able to learn a little of a lot little tricks for
Illustrator, Photoshop, Fireworks (and others)

above my materials and below one of the 8 pages
of my only-by-myself-legible notes



one of the little implements of Photoshop on CS3
is the Photomerge
tool that allows you to select different photos
and merge them into a panorama

and visual sample of this feature here below
i took these 3 photos of a man running, in a row
so the same guy with 3 different backgrounds
of the same street

the initial 3 photos

the right


the center


the left


& here all together now
the auto merge Photoshop did
[click on it for full-size effect and look
for the same runner in 3 different places]



this tool existed before but the results were never that great
and lots of additional adjustments had to be made

and of course the Adobe CS4 is out now
but i don't think my company or many other users
will upgrade to it, at least for a while...

anyway, the seminar
was a very good day for the nerd in me

and sure! it is good to learn all together now
about everything, drawings, photography,
computers, or submarines
[...]

the strawberry fields - remix

a bit weird, but I think is cool



and if you are up for some more from the same author
enjoy his/her version The Three Little Pigs
it is fun!

Well, it was 20 40 years ago today...

"Well it was 20 40 years ago today,
Sargent Pepper taught a band to play,
They've been going in and out of style,
But there garenteed to raise a smile,
So may I introduce to you,
The act you've known for all these years,
Sargent Peppers Lonely hearts club band!"



yeah! it was June 1st of 1967 when this amazing album
'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'
was officially released
the above clip from 68's Yellow Submarine

and full of music & smiles!
