Photoshop Express

Posted on by Kyle

Adobe just released Photoshop Express, their online Flash-based version of Photoshop (think Picnik). 2GB of free storage, galleries and photo editing (including color correction, red eye removal, effects and more). After a quick test drive, I’m impressed.

Sidebar: also pleasantly surprised they’re offering a test drive without the need to create an account—a la sign up forms must die.

I’m curious to see how this will evolve, specifically integration with other sites—they call out blogs and Facebook, but the ability to integrate with Flickr and other photo sharing sites (via API or otherwise) would be a nice touch.

Random Internet Awesomeness

Posted on by Kyle

I’m fine-tuning my remaining SXSWi wrap-up posts (I’m planning to post them later this week).

In the meantime, enjoy the random internet awesomeness that’s caught my attention as of late:

The 960 Grid System; similar to my favorite CSS framework, Blueprint CSS. I haven’t tried it yet, so I can’t say how it’s any better or worse.

A while back, Microsoft signed up with CP+B to the tune of $300 million; it seems the fruits of CP+B’s creative efforts are beginning to bloom. Part warm-and-fuzzy, part jackass (although not necessarily at the same time.)

Noted for (mostly for my) future CSS reference: using Opacity vs RGBA.

Every episode of South Park, ever. Nice. Similar to The Daily Show’s extensive archive.

Squirrels network like Facebook friends – not that they’ve mastered computers or anything, but it’s probably just a matter of time.

SXSWi ’08

I’ve been absorbing tons of info over the last few days at SXSWi — expect a recap post after I get back to KC and recover. Until then, you can follow the fun on Twitter and Flickr
