SSW2 was, in a word: awesome.
Here’s a little video from Q13 Fox (I make an itsy bitsy appearance about halfway through), but I’d also recommend reading Anthony Steven’s reflections on the weekend (as usual, he does an excellent job!).
I’ll be posting details about my team’s project soon later, must recover a bit first. Soooo tired. And happy. :-) Seattle rocks.
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.
