Highly detailed plots and some of the most stunning
digital art we've seen in games mark these "Blog Fish" games

later versions.

08 Views Blueprints or Large Drawings
One big problem of the connected, mobile world is
receiving and then viewing large, large documents. I
regularly produce files as large as 48 x 36 inches, sending
and receiving them for proofing and approval. For many, this
problem has been solved.

09 Photo School in a Box

tutorials. Parts of the article are quoted below, but you

10 Child Predators Threat Continues to Grow
It's a recipe for trouble: naive teenagers, predatory
adults, and a medium - the Internet - that easily connects
them. There could be an estimated 750,000 child predators
online this very moment!

11 What to do when technology fails
By now, I'm sure you've all sighed relief -- Judgment
Day, May 21 2011 just didn't happen as predicted by
evangelist Harold Camping. (Grin!)
But seriously, folks. It's not the "zombie apocalypse" that
causes concern. The question is, what would YOU do in the
face of potential disasters -- lasting days or years --
coming in the form of social upheaval, natural or man-made
environmental catastrophe or political / economic meltdown?
We've all gotten so lax and comfortable with high
technology, what will you do?
-- this is something to think about.

12 Quotes: Albert Schweitzer, BF Skinner and Frank Tibolt
"Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory."
- Albert Schweitzer
"The real problem is not whether machines think
but whether men do."
- BF Skinner
"We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing.
Action always generates inspiration.
Inspiration seldom generates action."
- Frank Tibolt
