I have been playing with my photography a bunch lately. Both taking shots with our new Canon G9, and then post-processing them in several of Adobe’s sweet tools, like Lightroom and Photoshop. I am amazed at how much work goes into the professional photographs we see in print media every day to get them looking [...]
Supports WordPress 2.6+ This is a snazzy dark grey theme with splashes of greenery (hence the name). The original template is an open-source design by Pat Heard from FullAhead.org. I have included, as of Version 2.0, an Adobe Photoshop template file that allows the painless creation of custom theme “middle-space” images (hint: the “middle-space” is [...]
I have discovered Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and I think I may be in love. Is that healthy? While processing our Cape Cod pictures taken on our new Canon G9 I decided to give Lightroom a spin… and it’s having two diametric effects on me. I am gigglingly delighted with the results… both the resultant photos [...]
1&1 sucks. I used to use (until 17 minutes ago) 1&1 Internet Hosting for all my websites, including this blog. Now, I’ve had problems with them frequently, but the past 3 days have been beyond anything readily comparable. Over the weekend the server that “hosts” my web content was up… then down… then up… then [...]
This is a parody piece (done by me in Adobe Photoshop) mashing up the 2004 US Presidential Election by-county map (red vs. blue) with the (PRODUCT)RED campaign for the Global Fund. Part of the irony comes from the right-leaning “red state” map of the by-county vote breakdown, and the left-leaning political alignment of the (RED) [...]
This past week I attended the Adobe MAX 2007 Conference being held in Chicago’s huge McCormick Place Conference Center. This was a tremendous event for a heavy user of Adobe products (like myself), and was easily the best conference I have ever attended. Here are some pics (and you can view the full photoset here): [...]
I just totally revamped, augmented, and otherwise “rebooted” my main vanity personal site SteveMooradian.com. I wanted to put together a brand new site that more illustrated the confusing plethora of scattered interests and endeavors that have pervaded my existence thus far. Sure, I toyed with the idea of a serious portfolio type site for web [...]
Well I’ve been busy working with Adobe Flash not only at work but at home as well. Here’s the latest concoction I’ve come up with for my personal homepage. It is completely done in Flash. I have implemented a handy system that allows people to automatically upgrade their Flash player to version 8 without ever [...]
First of all, I was utterly shocked and appalled this week when I learned that a SWF file (the Flash file format from Adobe) actually stands for Small Web Format. That’s total crap! It started out as a Shockwave Flash file (SWF) because initially Macromedia created these Flash files in a format called Shockwave. Later [...]
I’ve been wanting to pump out some Adobe Flash files on my blog for a long time… a long time. I wanted, first, to get a nice media page set up and ready to house them all in some logical manner. However, I have not found PHP that suits my aesthetic pleasure for this task… [...]
I'm a Christ-follower, compelled by my faith toward reason, which points directly toward conservatism. This world's daily onslaught of lunacy offends my intellect and senses, so this is my venue to blow off steam.
