My First Beer Label
And my realization that I SUCK at photoshop....
I decided to call my latest batch of homebrew Rosie IPA (in honor of the Puppy's first christmas) and I had an idea for a label in mind. After stumbling and bumbling through the wealth of photoshop tutorials I realized that I SUCK AT PHOTOSHOP. Actually, let me clarify, I suck and graphic designing in Photoshop. I can rock Bridge + Camera Raw for photo editing, but when it comes to graphics and text and layouts and layers I SUCK. It took me an hour to figure out how to draw a rectangle that fit across the top third of the canvas!!
Anyway, I stumbled through it and I'm actually pretty happy with the result:
The crazy thing is that I think I can do all of this even easier in the simplified editor that comes with Snagit!
Cheap and Easy Puppy Cam with iCam
Yeah, she's cute isn't she? She's about 5 months old in that picture. During the early weeks/months of crate training she would whine when we left her but when we came home she would be sleeping like a little angle. So we were wondering how long she was whining when we left.
A couple of our friends had a similar situation with their dog crying and destroying things while they were at work. They ended up installing a web cam so they could check on him during the day. I was intrigued and was looking for a weekend project, so I decided to look into "puppy cams".
I did some googling and ended up on a bunch of hybrid technology + pet lovers message boards (yeah, the internet has everything). Most of the suggestions involved dropping some $$ at Best Buy and calling Comcast to get a static IP address -- neither of these things sounded like fun. But eventually (buried on some message board somewhere) I came across iCam by SKJM.
This was perfect!
Didn’t expect it to be that easy

Puppy play date in Phoenixville
Rosie met and fell instantly in love with Paco. The two were inseparable (literally) the entire night.
Rosie can't wait to play with Paco again!
