c/o Lifehacker - Photoshop Elements for $50.

Thanks for the alert on this Tom! I saw in the Lifehacker post that Sam's Club has the same price so I snagged a copy from there since I have a membership there and not at Costco. I've been wanting to get this and up my photo editing skills a bit. Plus I found two Lynda.com courses about it, so I'm off to 7 hours of video class!

Kudos to Peter for this great article and video highlighting the work he's spearheaded at Grace!!

Church Mutual Attorney Kristen Blanford uses her experience in professional liability and the knowledge she has gained through years of working with religious organizations to provide critical information you need to use social media for your ministry. She discusses the risks involved with social media and introduces a Sample Digital and Social Media Code of Conduct that you can customize for your organization. This PDF is part of a webinar that you might wish to listen to as well. https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/recording/2202215487736227072

Pretty cool stuff - figure the electronic templates could make this techy... :)  Okay, I mostly just think this would be a lot of fun.

Bought a book today in epub and mobi formats, but not from Amazon, so it didn't sync to all my kindle-app devices. Found this. I'm guessing there's a version for Windows too.

Bonus!: Send documents from other applications to your Kindle via the Print menu, or right-clicking in a Finder/Explorer window.

WELSTech's project management book is now available in print and for Kindle!

Interesting episode with a former teacher, now presenter for other teachers on teaching the "gifted and talented" student. The episode isn't so much about the education end, as much as the technology behind Ian's work. Website looks very useful for teachers. http://www.byrdseed.com/

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.

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.
