FSTDT Top 100

I’m Catholic and I go to a Catholic school, but I am embarrassed by the Christian fundies. They really worry me. If you want to see some worrisome (and really funny) fundie quotes, head on over to FSTDT Top 100. Sometimes they are funny (“I can sum it all up in three words: Evolution is a lie”) and sometimes they make you lose a little of your faith in humanity (“[Talking about an eleven year old girl who was raped and then buried alive] god was sacrificing this child as a way to show others the light. much as he did his own child. what a beautiful gift he has given us.”) If you’re not of the Christian faith, then you can point and laugh. If you are, you can either shake your head, or point and laugh. It’s your choice

100 Photoshop Tutorials and PSDTuts

I'll try to keep the posts coming! I'm sorry for the time gap!

Photoshop. It’s a wonderful program, but a pain in the ass to use. Thankfully there are many resources to help one adapt to the… uniqueness… of Photoshop. Now, if you have never used a professional photo editing program before, I wouldn’t attempt these tutorials because they do show some advanced methods for doing some things. Our first site is 100 Photoshop Tutorials. Some of them show step-by-step, and others are just an overview. Another useful site is PSDTuts. This site has broken the tutorials into different sections such as drawing, photo effects, and text effects to make finding what you want easier. Many of these are for the more advanced user, so get familiar with the basics before moving on to these.
