Almost spent $30 on Pixelmator when a highschooler of mine told me about Pixlr. Great webapp for photo editing. My favorite/most used tool: the magic wand + delete button to make sections of my images transparent.

Thousands of streaming media resources as well as other classroom materials available at my favorite price!

An interesting site which discusses illustrating the Bible along with providing links to sites which may provide some good Biblical graphics which might, depending on the copyright permissions of course, be useful for pastors, teachers, churches and church schools. (Check out the 2008 interview with one of my favorite modern Bible illustrators, Annie Vallotton.)

With cloud storage continuing to make progress as broadband continues to make inroads to more people and speeds increase, I hope features and transparency in using them grows. I have and use to various degrees iCloud, SkyDrive, DropBox, and Google Drive (used Insync for a while). My favorite is still DropBox and the space limitations are not an issue for most people. Speeds of Cloud storage will never be the same as LAN or WLAN speeds for large file storage, so frequent access to large files in the cloud is not a realistic possibility yet (ever?). While an argument could be made for backup, well I think CrashPlan, Mozy or Carbonite (as well as others) have that market covered. While I like the Arstechnica brief pros and cons (http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2012/04/cloud-storage-a-pricing-and-feature-guide-for-consumers.ars), I would love to see more in depth pros and cons from long term usage. iCloud for instance while great for iOS backup for our families 2 iPhones and 1 iPad, there is no transparent way to mount the iCloud volume for direct or cached data storage. On the other hand, the Shared folder on the Dropbox volume is nice for my wife and I to share working files across our two or three computers for work. Awesome. SkyDrive has a hook in MS Office which I have tested and works nicely, but it is limited in device support. GoogleDrive is really new, so I am still working through using it. I suspect this will continue to evolve over time.

Internet safety with everyone's favorite fat, orange cat!
