The iPod too small to need a case, now has a case

SUMAJINSHUFFLE3RDGENCASESILICONE 20090410 085851 The iPod too small to need a case, now has a case

There’s far from anything revolutionary about silicon iPod cases anymore. This one only merits comment because it’s for the new iPod shuffle: a device so small, it doesn’t need a case. The iPod shuffle is barely noticeable at all and has only one port and one switch to defend, so the Sumajin 3rd Gen iPod Shuffle Silicone Case seems a bit much.

For USD$14, you get 2 flip-top sleeves to prevent your shuffle from getting scratched or dinged. The cases come in 6 colors plus “glow in the dark” which may be the most useful one–it might help you find your shuffle if you lose it!

Try a little cross processing on your images in Photoshop CS3

crossprocess 20080310 203054 Try a little cross processing on your images in Photoshop CS3While I’ve gotten started recommending Layers Magazine’s Photoshop tutorials, I should point you to another one I found interesting. This tutorial by Mark Fleming brings a technique from photography’s chemical-ridden past into its pixel-rich present–cross processing.

When I first started working with Photoshop back in the late 90s, I tried and tried and ultimately failed to come up with a way to reproduce the retro looking colors of cross processed photographs…I needed more practice.

Well, now you can follow this tutorial called
Curvy Cross Processing in Photoshop CS3 and enjoy the fruits of Mark Fleming’s labor.

DockDoctor, DeskLickr, DockLock… say that 10 times fast

DeskLickr 20080107 201318 DockDoctor, DeskLickr, DockLock... say that 10 times fastAs a break from all the CES iPod gadgetry overload you may be feeling, I thought I’d post a few simple apps that might brighten your day.

The first is DockDoctor. I’ve recommended this before but it’s even better now. DockDoctor allows you to change your Leopard Dock dimensions, colors and whether it is 2D or 3D. If you like, you can even “theme” your Dock. It’s still Free (donations accepted), as is the widget version that is also available.

Next, DeskLickr, is a Menu Bar item that grabs Desktop images from Flickr profiles or tags of your choice. There is also a DeskLickr group with hand selected Desktop images. DeskLickr is also Free (donations accepted).

Lastly, we have DockLock–another Free one (donations accepted)–this one is for dolts like me who keep dragging icons out of their Dock accidentally. It locks down your Dock to protect you from yourself.
