Hero (2004)

The previews for this movie made it look vibrant, action packed, and based in reality, like a little more down to earth with some Matrix type feel to it. The last hour of the movie, I was just praying for the end. Even if I didn’t hate reading my movies, this would have still been about the silliest piece of crap I have ever seen. By the end I was just like, "What the Hell?" those goofy

Labor Visit from my Parents

It’s Labor Day, and we had our parents to look forward to. This was the only picture I got to take though with the digital, because I think it is getting old, and too lazy to even let me know when the batteries are low anymore.

Clockwise From Left – Mom, Dad, Ryan (Boyfriend) and my sister Jessica.

It was one of the only days this summer that the temperatures got into the 90’s, so it was beyond miserable. So we came home

Effects differences from version Illustrator 9 to Illustrator 10.

Today I learned that the filters options from 9-10 changed. The gaussian blur, which is a seems to be a default filter in 9, is apparently an SVG extension in 10, and if any vector art that contains a blur is attempted to be moved, an “action terminated” dialog box will appear.

King Arthur (2004)

This movie started out slow, with Clive Owen not initially convincing as Arthur. As I watched I realized why this movie had such a dismal showing at the theaters. Unlike Pirates, Jerry Bruckheimer’s success last year dealt with a long removed subject matters, pirates. But this movie is another war between some powerful history group of people Romans, vs outlandish types.

The great thing about this movie, and any Bruckheimer is that is always asks, why

Four Feathers (2002)

Heath Ledger, Wes Bentley of American Beauty and Kate Hudson. A respectable cast but not enough to make this Shakur movie the same success Elizabeth was. A long drawling war intertwined with a thickly veiled plot, this movie is as bleak as any other movie in the past that revolves around the iron ruling hand the English had in the 19th century and their obviously hideous style of fighting.

Inserting a fireworks HTML file

In the past, when I inserted a fireworks HTML, I drew a table, and then drew a cell size that fit the Fireworks graphics table I had just sliced and exported. I then placed it inside the cell, and went on my merry way.

Well, there is no need for that nested of tables. You can just create a new page in Dreamweaver, and place the Fireworks HTML in directly.

How do I change the color of a section of text?

(InDesign 2.0 not CS 3.0) The swatches palette is not the most intuitive when coming from a vector program for changing vector graphics and text colors, fills, and strokes.

In order to change the color of text, make sure that in the swatches palette, you push the T button up to the left of the tint. This activates all of the colors to be used for fills and strokes of the text, which you can change the precedence of each by click the stacked icons for the open fill “T” and …
