Improve your photography with classical art

Improve your photography with classical art: “When Photoshop entered the CS series it included a new tool called ‘Match Color.’ This tools was made so that you could match a series of photos to one another. But there is another thing you can do with ‘Match Color’ that is much cooler: You can match the colors in your photos to those in famous paintings.” Check out the amazing results this method produces.

President Bush does the crazy malaria dance and gets scored on “The View” (VIDEO)

President Bush did what any world leader would do at an International Malaria Awareness Day… he danced. And Rosie O’Donnell and the ladies of The View featured the clip and rated his performance:


Well, that should repair the world’s view of America nicely. Send your goodwill our way, nations of the world…

Its good to see no one is getting distracted from that whole war thing going on in the Middle East.

Radomski, a New York Mets clubhouse employee between 1985 and 1995, has pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in San Francisco to distribution of a controlled substance — a schedule three anabolic steroid — to “dozens of Major Leaguers on teams throughout the league.”" Get ready for names to surface and subpoenas to be issued by investigators.

“Late Show” guests’ names make me laugh

Last night on the Late Show with David Letterman, Dave had a comedian and a musician on as two of his guests.

His guests were Andy Dick and Jarvis Cocker.

Dick and Cocker? Come on!

Was this just some strange coincidence or was the juxtaposition for comedic effect? Or did I just notice because Andy did so many “Dick” jokes?

 


Sarah Silverman tapped… to host 2008 MTV Movie Awards: Silverman: ‘”Ever since I was a little girl, before MTV even started in 1980, I said, ‘Someday, I want there to be an all-music channel that gives out awards for movies. And I want to host that show.’”‘ Good point. But great choice for host for the awards on June 3. (0) [link]


Behind the Scenes at Idol Gives Back: TV Guide has an interesting report on what you didn’t see on the charity episiode of American Idol. Despite the top tier / second tier performer mix for the show (Earth, Wind, and Fire? Come on!) and the fact that it involved Celine Dion, I was very impressed by the CGI-magic Elvis Presley - Celine Dion duet on the Idol stage. So cool. (0) [link]

RIP Boris Yeltsin

Former Russian President Boris Yeltsin died yesterday at the age of 76:

Yeltsin, who had suffered health problems since resigning from office on December 31, 1999, suffered sudden heart failure, medical sources told Russia’s Interfax news agency. […]

Yeltsin became the first democratically elected president of Russia in 1991 and two months later put down a coup attempt against Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. […]

Dougherty said everything about Yeltsin was larger than life.

“He was oversized, he was huge, everything about him — he was physically a giant, a big-barrel chest of complete charisma,” she said. “When you met him or were around him he was absolutely charismatic.”

While Yeltsin may have been a failed statesman, Dougherty said he had a unique ability to connect with people.

And that is exactly what I’ll remember most about Yeltsin — his charismatic nature as a world leader that drew you in and made you stop to listen, similar to the effect Bill Clinton has on people. Well, that… and the wacky dancing

Zabb City: New take on some Thai faves: “Originally based in Jackson Heights, Queens, Zabb City recently opened a second location in the East Village. Though the menu here lacks the variety of the original Zabb City and looks more like a Manhattan-ized take on Thai cuisine, the warmth and poised atmosphere could win over most frugal-but-decorous diners.” Good thai food is totally tasty!
