Also, when I've got an hour or so to actually sit down and really do a quality chop, I'd be happy to do it live on a Google Hangout so people can see what I'm doing.

While the North American VeryBerry Frog is delicious, this little fella is not quite ripe yet, as evidenced by his partially green skin. Tree frog base which I isolated, strawberry macro masking layer (hard light blend at 80% opacity), drop shadow …

A blend between the reptile skin and the fruit would help sell it, but the real kicker would be adding the legs. Good masking on the head!

AI so far (as per Facebook's automod) does a terrible job with context. Most AI filtering right now cuts like a meat cleaver when it needs to be a scalpel. I've fallen afoul of FB's automod twice, for utterly innocuous content in a private group …

I loved public Hangouts, and ended up throwing a few hIRLs because of them. My friends Matt, Bret, and Doug are all locals I effectively got to know through G+, and Hangouts specifically. I never got a job through it, but I certainly made some …

I manage multiple groups there, so I'm locked in for now. Would love to have it go away, and I don't use the apps on my phone.

I love this.

I'm enjoying mimosas spiked with 99 Bananas, fresh croissants with orange marmalade, and some lovely pineapple and blueberries. Anyone else brunching it?

> Wouldn’t it be great if that lead to their responding to Cake conversations and even creating their first conversation? Honestly, I think this will be a huge driver for Cake adoption. Someone looking for a moderated platform for a Q&A can use …

1. I liked the fact that it was utilitarian more than marketing-ish. 2. Ongoing questions from readers would definitely have contributed to more conversation. 3. Serve mimosas? I prefer panels with brunch. :D

I generally see too little formatting versus too much. No paragraph breaks, etc. The rules of writing syntax apply to forums as well, even if the culture of the forum (4Chan et al.) is crude or primitivist. Bolding makes strong points stand …

I could photoshop away the blemishes and scars and airbrush the marks of time I could paint a picture of a prettier face, but fuck it this one is mine.

Hey all. I'm an old school tech blogger and community builder, having been part of Spark-Online back in the late 90s, the Cluetrain Manifesto, and countless forums since then. I'm a ten year veteran on Reddit with a ton of internet points, and I …

The Highlands Owlrilla can be fiercely territorial.

And Chester Bennington before Bourdain. It's heartbreaking.

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/mar/04/prodigy-singer-keith-flint-dies-aged-49 "I'm the bitch you hated / filth infatuated" Self criticism is a recurring trend.

Yeah, in a lot of ways, Hemingway is my spirit animal. I've done a few shots trying to reproduce classic shots of him. This is another:

...and trying not to think about his end.

Create animals that have never been seen in nature, and post your entry as a comment below. The most reacted entry by midnight EST on March 10th wins bragging rights. @apm

Sounds fun. I'll see what I can come up with tomorrow.

Sure! There's no hard rules on toolset.

And you're going to want to use Google Images, since you're trying to match angles and lighting in your source material as much as possible.

You won't have an issue with licensing. It's derivative work for non-commercial purposes, so it is plainly under fair use.

Recreating some of the old Worth1000 challenges, and judging them by total reacts, would be a pretty fun time.

This is CS4 or CS5. And to my eye, it's pretty amateurish, but like I said, that was 15 years ago. :D I do still do them from time to time, but I have less call for them these days. I'll remove people from pics occasionally, or do skin touch ups on …
