Yesterday on Twitter I asked....

" What is your favorite blog?"

And here's what I got back...

• sheridesfixed@WatchMeRise another blog I just fell in love with: bakeanddestroy.net many recipes for vegan cupcakes
• sheridesfixed@watchmerise claytonaddisonphoto.com and gattphotos.livejournal.com dharmasatori.blogspot.com

I was hoping for more answers than that so I guess I will just throw out a few of my own. A thank you goes out to sheridesfixed. I definitely recommend you follow her.


Here's Mine:

The Start of Something New

Good Morning Blogger.com! Yesterday I announced that I would be launching a daily series today and as promised this is the start of it. I call it, Watch Me Read. Pretty much every day I will peruse the internet looking for something for all of you to read or in today's case read and do.

Here's the deal with this morning's Watch Me Read. I woke up and knew I was going to be posting soon so I came straight here. I looked through my Reader and the first thing on the list was a post from David Cross, who I started following after I started watching PhotoshopUserTV. If you haven't checked that out do so now. (Well, not right now, please continue reading first.) I've been watching the show for a few weeks and already it has been a huge help in my work. The give tutorials, have contests, and show off great products that are extremely useful. Like I said, if you haven't seen it yet check it out when you're done with today's reading assignment.

What I read this morning was an assignment that Dave has started doing on his blog where he has people send in photos that need restoration and once a week he picks one and posts it for everyone to fix up and he displays whichever he thinks is best. This week he has chosen to assign the picture on the left. Click on it and it will bring you to his blog where you can read the post and get a little better idea of what I'm talking about. Also, make sure you go to the link that he posted to upload your work to Flickr.




I Know What You're Thinking

If you've been keeping up on my blog I know what you're thinking. Yesterday I just posted an offer to restore a photo for the first person who wanted it because I didn't have a picture of my own to use. Well, I do have one now, but the offer still stands. I'll post what I come up with from this and you can see if it's something you want me to do. I should have it up in the next few days for your viewing pleasure. So, if you want an old photo of your parents or grand parents restored, drop me a line because the offer still stands
