Wow. This is awesome.
An Oakland Raiders mascot with an extremely crowd- friendly moustache. I found this logo (circa 1970-something-awesome) when looking for old NFL logos and I just knew I had to do something with this picture. The guy above is a perfect embodiment of what the Raiders stand for; I really don’t need to say anything else. I just remember growing up with friends whose dad was a big Raiders fan. I’m not really sure how Oakland got to claim the color black as their own, there’s plenty of teams who have black as their main or alternate uniform color.

Cheer Up, Mr President
I received my January 2010 issue of Golf Digest yesterday and imagine my suprise to see the cover story “10 Tips Obama can take from Tiger”. I’m not going into the whole story, you can find that here, here and even more here. But I do have one question… which is worse? The fact they put the controversial Woods on the cover only two weeks he hit the news or the fact that Golf Digest used such poor PhotoShop work on their cover. If it wasn’t obvious …

I say partially because I still couldn’t use any of the video editing programs in the Master Collection (I previously upgraded from Design Premium) but since I …

All You Need is Love
So here is another one of BlackBerry’s ‘Love What You Do’ commercials. This one is even more confusing than the last. If you remember the Rock Band version, the band practices real hard and becomes great. In this one, two wannabe fashion designers put a show together. I guess if your first show goes well, you can continue to do what you love. But what if it’s absolutely horrible? I guess you go out and yourself get a BlackBerry.

Google Interface Changes
If you’ve been to Google lately, and I’m sure you have, you might notice the slight fade in effect of the home page. On loading the page, the web page is missing quite a few of the usual links, titles, buttons and other options. You can type your search terms and keywords in the search field and press enter to search or if your mouse enters the page the other fields will show. Everything “fades” in and gives you a nice visual instead of abruptly pooping onto the page.
I have read that it is causing a bit of confusion among users. I have to admit, when I first …
