Seriously

Here's the thing, true story. Did you know that if you say Dick Cheney into the mirror three times he'll come back from the dead and waterboard you in the bathtub. Try it, I dare you.

Star Wars - Uncool?

My life is now over. Why?

Because Star Wars geeks have now become as stupidly nerdy as trekkies. (Trekkers can sometimes be ok ... sometimes.) No, no no no no. Dammit, we were the cool geeks with the sane fans. Now, since those damn "beginning" movies were poorly written and then aired on the big screen, we've lost a lot of cred.

And now we've fallen further.

Truly. They have started the Saber Academy in NYC. You can learn to be a "Jedi."

Click at your own risk. It's one of those homebrew websites which offends my delicate aesthetic sensibilities ALMOST as much as it offends my geek-meter. I mean, really. What good geek can't put together a website that doesn't SUCK.

I'm going to go crawl into a corner and rip my Han Solo costume to rags now. sigh

Learning Photoshop

Let me put it this way ... I know guys at an ad agency who watch this every week - and who learn something from it every week.

The name of the series from MyDamn Channel is You Suck at Photoshop and these are some of the funniest tutorials I've ever seen - and they've taught me a couple of tricks I didn't know, too! Donnie's going to show you how to be better at Photoshop. While telling you that you suck - but trust me ... no one sucks at Photoshop as much as Donnie's life sucks. And he's going to make you laugh. And make you really, really appreciate your life:

A small warning - there are some adult situations in some of these ... but should be good for PG13 and above. :)
