I love Photoshop, and I don't know about you but I could definitely learn how to utilize it better.  In my travels, I found this amazing collection of Photoshop tricks.  It's semi-unbelievable that this stuff is just there for the picking (read: free,) so check it out! Smashing Magazine Link The above image belongs to the user who posted the amazing tutorial on how to create it.

Sunset over Tokyo , originally uploaded by RyanMussbacher . A city I would very much like to visit. I love the city, love seeing people walking around, having a destination in mind or just seeing tourists look at everything single thing in amazement (that will be me if I visit the city).

turimetta , originally uploaded by shannon sakovits. Boy don't I love long exposure pictures.

The X-mini 2nd Generation, the tiny but powerful portable speaker. Another product which I have received  from MobileFun.co.uk . Hit the more link for the full review.

A gorgeous modern house in Sao Paolo, Brazil. The exterior of the building is supposed to resemble a giant monolith with glass breaches around. It has a very nice interior which consists of traditional materials but made to look modern and square. More pictures after the break.

Thought this wallpaper would be fitting, you know it being autumn...well the end of autumn now.

A great modern looking house. As the title says it was inspired by a Picasso painting. Sitting on the edge of a cliff, getting an amazing view of the ocean. Irresistible. More pictures after the break.

ShootMe  This app is a amazing! I take about one to two screenshots everyday to send to friends or post here. I originally used Drocap2, but the ugly icon in the statusbar ruined it. And I didn't like the usb and debug icons when I used adb to get a screenshot. Then I found ShootMe. ShootMe allows you to take screenshots without having to worry about ugly statusbar icons or weird interfaces. Just start it up and shake to grab the screenshot. When your done open it up again and hit quit. The application puts all the screenshots in a folder called "ShootMe" which shows up in your gallery. That's it! The app is fast, clean and doesn't hog up your screen with ugly status bar icons. Check it out! To find out more check out: ArlandReview.com ShootMe (Screen Grabber) for Android on AppBrain

Ultralinx asked me if I would do a writeup on the battery life improvement for Android video he did a few days ago.  For those of you who've watched it, it's full of great information for both regular and advanced users.  Since there might be people out there that don't have twelve minutes for the video he's asked me to condense the information.  Follow the link for more. But if you don't want to read on and instead want to watch the video, check it out here -  How To Improve/Save Battery Life

To celebrate the season's first snow here in Utah, I decided to break out the old camera for alongexposure shot with some light painting. If you've never done this before, it's quite fun. Knowing the basics of long exposure photography is an obvious starting point. Light painting just adds to the concept by adding exposure to your image in controlled areas. More after the break!

Sky from Philip Bloom on Vimeo . This is a must watch. All shot in the beautiful city of Dubai. Turn the lights down, make it full screen, turn the volume up, press that HD button and enjoy...

My Tokyo from schnobe on Vimeo . I love how this video is really fast paced but then with quite relaxing music. In my opinion it kind of shows how fast paced a city like Tokyo is but then how relaxed everyone seems to be. It's as if fast paced is a way of life for people in the city.

I thought this was bloody brilliant. Great way for Nokia to promote their Nokia N8 HD Camera. Shame it don't have Android as the OS =P All filmed in London.

This is the Minimal Matte Grey Theme for the new CyanogenMod 6.1.0 ROM. I've based the theme on the Nexus One framework. It should work for other phones with the newest Cyanogen ROM but you try it at your own risk,   I am not responsible if it does not work on other devices. Installation -  REMEMBER TO DO A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST! First of all buy the theme and then flash it over through recovery. Second go on to your phone and go to "Settings/Cyanogen Settings/User Interface/Tweaks Extras" then import this XML file - Download Note: Non Refundable Click On Screenshots for full size Credits to Niki for testing and the screenshots!
