amazing photos – WIRED’s photo contests

Posted on Sep 22, 2008 in photography | 1 comment

I regularly subscribe to WIRED magazine, as I have for years, ever since I saw one in my Uncle Bill’s house one day. I have to say, it’s definitely my favorite magazine to read, and to simply look at. The typography is amazing, the photos are captivating, and the articles widely varied and intriguing.

WIRED Photo Contest

In the past, I’ve visited WIRED’s website here and there, but lately, I’ve been making it a point to visit more often. There’s so much more content that is explored solely on the web. The Gadget Lab for instance. Yeah, can’t help but visit that. There’s daily blog entries in all sorts of categories and just recenlty, I discovered quite a few photo contests that they hold. In the past they have had contests where the themes were Holga, Red, Self-Portrait, Night, Macro, Transportation and Black and White. Recently, they posted the results of their newest contest theme – Portraits.

The thing I love about the contest results is that they not only published a “Top 10 Wired.com Reader Portrait Photos, Decided by You,” but also, a “Top 10 Wired.com Reader Portrait Photos, Decided by Us.” Both set of photos was amazing.

useful tools on the go

Recently I’ve been seeing more and more articles and blog entries about using your standard cellphone on the go for everything from getting numbers to keeping notes and to do lists. More and more I’m enjoying reading the blog at lifehacker.com. They wrote a great entry called Manage your life via SMS. I checked out quite a few of the services listed there, as well as a few they mentioned in later entries.

wallpapers/themes from StudioTwentyEight

Posted on Sep 2, 2008 in design, online | 0 comments

Just thought I ought to give a link up to StudioTwentyEight. I just love the wallpapers and PS3/PSP themes that they have featured there. The colors are fantastic and the detail is intense. The themes have all the icons you need so you don’t have the default PS3 icons coming out where it might be lacking. Everytime they come out with a new desktop wallpaper, I just love it. My favorites are Stream of Light, It Was a Beautiful Day, and Retro Apple. See the “Designs” tab to see the PS3/PSP themes that I mentioned. You won’t be disappointed.
