GIMP tutorials

DBC ButtonThanks to StumbleUpon, I found another very cool website: GIMP User Group Tutorials. I've talked about GIMP before. It's a free and open source program that is similar to Photoshop. I've been using it some, but I don't have any real skills with it yet, so these tutorials should be a big help. I went through this one and it helped me create the graphic on the left. If anyone does another tutorial and makes something cool, then email me the picture and I may post it.

Update:
There are also a bunch of good tutorials on the official GIMP website.

'bout time E! covered this.

BlaggBlogg: Clippy the Microsoft Office Paperclip: The E! True Hollywood Story

Funny as all get out.

Clippy's fortunes took their first turn for the worst when it was announced in 2001 that he would not be included in Office XP.

"Office XP is so easy to use that Clippy is no longer necessary, or useful," explained Lisa Gurry, a Microsoft product manager, "Plus, if people haven't figured out how to use freaking Microsoft Word by now, they don't deserve access to a computer."

Also see blogging with Microsoft, Clippy's new jorb. Thanks be to the Paladin of the 21st Century.
