My 10 minutes of playing with it review:

For those of you using Flickr and Picnik, don’t bother. It’s essentially the same thing, but slower and with a prettier GUI that makes you think you have voonderbar new functionality. Sure, it’s slick. Sure, the interface is friendly and dark, and gives you a better preview image (sans futzing with the little slider bars) but still.

Hot:
- High light and fill light options.
- Free.
- Browse others pictures.
- “Pop color” quickly changes a pick to b&w, then refills whatever color you select. Think little girl in b&w with big red balloon.
- “Soft focus” knew to zoom in on the face of the person in my test image for the preview, which was easily 1/60th of the whole picture.
- Distort & sketch bits are free (unlike Picnik)

Not:
- 17 ways to alter your image (avg x7 previews per option)
- No privacy filters/flags for your pictures (private albums)
- Email photo (not album, boo) functionality sounds like a good idea, but is really a maggot infested lump of giaffee dookie (see image below)
- No obvious stand-alone social networking bits, but links to login to Facebook, PhotoBucket and Picasa
- You can add a caption once you upload, but you can’t rename the file
- 2gb “free rent” is what…two RAW images? I kid. But seriously, that won’t get me too far.

Was I excited that I might get something *just shy* of PS that’s not Lightroom and doesn’t cause me to take out a personal line of credit to pay for? Yes. Am I surprised it’s just a tease? No.

Supremely awesome news is only a click away. Touch it with your mouse.

Each of us has some characteristic that makes us special and unique, and not in a 5th grade sex-ed “we’re all different” kinda way. I could easily say my qualities are my chicken lip or my lame eye, or even my potty mouth/sailor vocabulary. This morning I choose to approach it from another direction, because sometimes it’s fun to play with the numbers.

I am:

- Left handed : 7 - 10 percent of the population
- The proud producer of B+ blood : 9 percent of the population
- ENTJ : Under 2 percent of the population rank as ENTJ

Now it’s your turn to play along…what funky bit makes you distinctively you?

We’re in Murphy, NC walking into a restaurant with the real estate agent. I hear “Maigh!” just as my hand hits the handle of the door and look to my left to see my old boss, Andy Crowe.

Further proof that the world is shrinking, and I should never leave the house looking like crap because I will bump into someone I know. Even if I’m in Europe.

But sometimes rocky.

Example 1: The new theme. Did I optimize for 800×600? Nope. Know why? Because it’s about me and for me and I run at 1280×1024. Hell, that was half the point of changing the design. I’m sick of everything being scrunched into a tiny column. Since I love you, though, I tweaked the theme to fit your needs.

Now I hate it.

Example 2: Did I keep the picture of me up? Nope. I’ve been slowly disappearing from the site for some time now. Started with a head and torso, migrated to head and shoulders…now ya get nothin’. That I kinda miss, so I might play with the design this weekend and see if I can find a good way to incorporate it.

*sigh*

Bring on the opinions. I know you’ve got ‘em.
