Sunday Samplings #7

  • Would you like a free alternative to Photoshop?  Complete Geek has posted a review of Gimp, stating that it’s just as capable as expensive graphic programs.
  • Twitter has added a new People Search feature that makes cyber-stalking easier.  Chip has written an excellent review of this feature, stalking yours truly in the process.
  • It seems that everyone has been joining Facebook lately.  If you’d like to know what all the fuss is about, check out Facebook Facts by Jack Lail.
  • Memphis Steve is hosting a cool game called the I Wish Game.  Each participant grants the wish of the previous participant and then makes a wish of his own.  The fun part is that when your wish is granted, it’s not quite the way you’d like it.  My wish was for a “romantic, loving boyfriend who worships the ground I walk on”.  Turns out he’s gay but great for helping me shop for shoes!  When you check out this link, start from the top and read all the comments.  You’ll have lots of laughs!
  • My friend Mike is recruiting for a new fantasy football league.  I’ve agreed to be a cheerleader since I know absolutely nothing about how to play the sport.  If you’re a sports fan, or if you’d like to join me on the sidelines, check out Mike’s post.

    Gimp is very capable, when I bought my new laptop it was only blighted with XP, all my other software is Open Source and I plan to keep it that way.
