Photoshop Encouragement

So, I am feverishly trying to teach myself Photoshop and become a graphic design faux-guru. The following video via Boing Boing really inspired me to keep plugging along on my tutorial-based learning. Pretty funny stuff:

Merry Christmas To All

The Bubble Cometh

Great Video from FSJ warning of the next Silicon Valley bubble burst. Very well done:

Eat Well!

Holiday Spirit

Congrats Joe, Good Luck Joe

After yet another frustrating baseball season for Yankee fans, it is official; Joe Girardi will be the successor to Joe Torre, as the new Yankee manager. While I am sad to see Torre go, I could not be more pleased with Steinbrenner's decision to hire Girardi over Mr. Baseball, Don Mattingly. While Mattingly was one of the greatest first basemen and hitters for the Bronx Bombers, he does not have the fiery and motivational attitude that Girardi has (in my opinion, of course). Girardi will provide the necessary spark to turn the Yankee's around and that may be exactly what the Yankees need next season. While I have nothing but praise and respect for Joe Torre, I think he was tired of the front office B.S. and pressure handed down from the Steinbrenner family, and think it was time for a change. Torre is rumored to be the next Dodger manager, replacing Grady Little. How nice would a Yankees/Dodgers World Series be? Just like back in the Tommy Lasorda/Billy Martin days...Good Luck to both Joes, and on a side note; adios A-Rod. Hope the $ was worth it.

Durango Concierge

I have been spending a great deal of time building my new business, Durango Concierge, which I am excited to grow. Durango Concierge provides property management, second-home watchdog service, personal assistance, caretaking, and errand services to residents of Durango, Colorado and the Four Corners Area. It is my goal to become the go-to guy in Durango to take care of the little things in life that slow people down.

While I have spent many intimate hours with iWeb '08 creating my website, I am having trouble creating a polished banner that is eye-catching and classy. If there is anybody out there reading this blog who is quick with Photoshop, who might assist me in creating a nice banner? Any input or help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
