And a little good, old fashioned slapstick… always a winner. :-)
Who is the biggest advertising loser of the Super Bowl? It appears to be GoDaddy, who started quite a stir on Twitter with their not only degrading but also blatantly stupid and absolutely uncreative ad campaign. People are fleeing the domain hosting company like rats off a sinking ship. This includes me. I had one single domain left there which I plan on transfering to 1&1 today. Not all publicity is good publicity, GoDaddy.
I bought and downloaded Pixelmator after a recommendation and short demo from my friend Andrew Woods. It’s a beautiful image editing program for Mac that at $59 is a superb replacement for Photoshop. And on top of their low price, I saved $10 by finding a coupon through RetailMeNot, a site I would always recommend everyone check before finishing a checkout on any purchase. The above was my first experiment playing around for a few minutes with Pixelmator and so far I’m very impressed. Anyone familiar with Photoshop will have no problem finding the tools intuitive and superior to Gimp in its elegance. (Though, I should mention that Gimp is free… so there’s that. But you get what you pay for, as Valor always says.)
Oh yes, and… about the picture itself… :-) I love living in a country where one is free to photoshop the leader of the free world into ridiculous jokes. Life is good.
Mr. Watson, come here. I need you.
