So you read my previous post about 60% of the Photoshop users being theives and it has really gotten to you. No longer do you want to be like everyone else. No longer do you want to be morally unbound. Or maybe you just don't have a need for all the fancy pieces of the full Photoshop app? WTF is a layer, anyway?
Well, Adobe has a solution:
A completely FREE online, scaled down, version of Photoshop that allows you to do anything the normal person may need to do: Crop, resize, remove red eye, and more! Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that Adobe will give you 2gb of space to host your photos, too?!
Check out Photoshop Express here https://www.photoshop.com/express/
If I remember correctly, it was hosted on some .fr domain, and wasn't backed by any sort of explanation or website. There was no title, and the flash you see below was all that was presented. Because of this, and because of the addictive nature of the game, it was so dubbed "Crack" by myself and a friend. It was played often for a while, then one day I either formatted my hard drive, or forgot about it.. both happen quite often in my life.
Well, the other day I was browsing around the Internet, and what did I come across? Crack. Named the "Chain Reaction Game" on the site I found it at.
I have no knowledge of the original author of the game, but I take no credit for any of it, and all credit goes to the original programming.
Out of all this garbage did come one gem:
A book published in 1988 by a man (I'm assuming) named Richard Hull, entitled: "Microcomputer Administration - How to Plan for Organize and Control Microcomputers in Your Company"
(For those of you who find yourself reading the title over to yourself because it doesn't sound right, the lack of punctuation is the way it's printed throughout the book.)
The book covers many interesting points of pre-1990s computing, but the piece I wanted to show you today is a Microcomputer Mainenance Checklist. Enjoy!

NEW YORK -- The Yankees machine was assembled eight months ago with this stage and opportunity in mind, from the very minute Legends Field welcomed its first guest of the spring.
More than ever, with a title drought running up against seven seasons, the Yankees gathered intent on playing deep into October, stumbling out of the gate but developing into baseball's best team leading into the playoffs.
Yet, against a hungry Indians club, the Yankees finally ran out of steam, outplayed in a four-game American League Division Series that will surely bring edits to the mission plan. The Yankees' season concluded on Monday with a 6-4 loss in ALDS Game 4.
I've been so busy with work, girlfriend, and home life lately that I've resorted to stealing e-mail signatures to post here. A week from today is the one year anniversary of Brokedown Palace, I'll be sure to post then to celebrate the joyous occasion. Covering the accomplishment of the last year.
But for now....
01) The bandage was wound around the wound.
02) The farm was used to produce produce.
03) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
04) We must polish the Polish furniture.
05) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
06) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
07) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.
08) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
09) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
10) I did not object to the object.
Here are a few brain teasers that a friend of mine sent to me. See if you can figure them out, the answers can be found by clicking the "Continue Reading" link at the bottom of this entry.
1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven`t eaten in 3 years.
Which room is safest for him?
2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?
3. There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all of this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which water came from which jug?
4. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?
5. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?
6. This is an unusual paragraph. I`m curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out.
Thank you Carolyn for a forward that made me smile. These are few and far between.
Now instead of forwarding it to everyone I know, I'll put it here for everyone to see:
