Flock Web Browser

So I am a pretty big fan of FireFox and pretty much any browser that isn’t Internet Explorer. Firefox offers a host of add-ons that allow you to customize your browsing experience, but it would seem that the folks from Flock have outdone them.

Flock seems to be the culmination of everything useful for social networking. The browser offers a host of tools including a blog editor (on which I’m typing this now), a Youtube utility, Facebook and other social networking integration, as well as a useful feed-reader. All of which is displayed in an organized, uncluttered fashion. Moreover, it all seems to be really simple.

I’ve had it for roughly twenty-four hours so I haven’t had much time to research it, but it seems to be relatively compliant and I haven’t had too much trouble with it. So far I recommend it and this could be the browser that replaces FireFox on my computer. Stay tuned for updates as I tinker.

Grunge Photos

So since school has been out (for the last five hours and eleven minutes, for me) I’ve been on another of my big web-design/development/graphics kicks so I looked up a pretty neat tutorial (in my very amateur opinion) for making things look grunge, which I have no experience with. I deviated a decent amount from the tutorial so as to give it my own personal touch (whether that be good, bad, or indifferent, I don’t particularly care). So I figured I’d use this blog to double as a little portfolio just for kicks.

I picked the photo because it was about the best thing I could find on my camera for the grunge look, which is bad because it was taken at the top of Pike’s Peak this summer in Colorado. Here are the original and editted photos. Hopefully you can figure out which is which.
