"I Was About To Buy A Different Tablet For $229!! Glad I Discovered This!" You'll NEVER, EVER Edit Your Photos With Your Mouse Again! The Absolute BEST Way To Work With Graphics & Photos! Amazing Tablet & Pen Allows You To "Draw" On Your Screen! Just Try This Once - You'll Never Go Back! WOW! Super Price Too! I'm First off, if you're not familiar with a graphics tablet, it's something that anyone doing any kind of photo editing or graphics work will absolutely LOVE! Basically, it allows you to use a "pen" to "draw" on your screen! See, this cool little tablet sits next to your keyboard like a mousepad, then you grab the included pen, and as you "draw" on the tablet, the mouse follows along on the monitor! The pen becomes the mouse for your graphics program! (Don't worry, it doesn't replace your mouse, just supplements it). PLUS, this works with EVERY program out there since the pen is the "mouse"! If you're program can use a mouse, then this will work! Once upon a time, in the bad old days, I used a mouse in Photoshop (and other photo editing programs) to make my selections, use brushes, erase - pretty much everything. If you've ever used a mouse to make a tricky selection, you know how incredibly frustrating that can be! Well, this tablet comes to the rescue! Instead of trying to trace, brush, select, etc with your mouse, this allows you to "draw" or "paint" with a pen! If that sounds like a great idea, just wait till you try it! What a surprise - tracing and brushing with a pen is easier than a mouse!! Honestly, I don't know how I could ever go back to editing photos using a mouse after using this - difference is night and day. PLUS - this is a pressure sensitive pad! If your program supports it (Photoshop does - and many others), then you'll really love this! You can generally set the pen to apply "more" as you press harder! So, let's say you're brushing in an area in Photoshop - You can set this so the harder you press, the more "effect" you put down! For example, if you're painting with black, a light touch would only put down a light grey, harder would be a middle grey, and full pressure would be black. Oh, and did you notice in the photo the "F" keys? Just a tap of the pen gives you instant access to common shortcuts! Of course, it's great for other graphics work as well. If you're a digital artist, this will feel like the most wonderful invention you've ever used! When you're drawing on screen with this, it even feels like you're using a real brush or pencil! Here are some of the features:
What about setup? Easy! Just plug it into your USB port! A lot of people worry that they have to use this instead of a mouse, and don't worry - that's not the case at all. You can use your mouse and tablet side by side! Use the tablet when you're doing photo editing or graphics, switch to the mouse for the regular stuff! That's what I do! Here's the thing - we all do at least a little photo editing anymore - it's the way digital photography works! This makes it sooo much more enjoyable - and sooo much easier! When I first stared using these tables, I was blown away at how simple it was to make a tight selections and tricky brush strokes compared to my mouse - and I never looked back! Your cost? Well, you can easily spend hundreds for a graphics tablet - but not today! We got an amazing deal on this - right now it's on sale for just $32.97 and US shipping is FREE! WOW!!! For that kind of money, you've just gotta try it! You'll be glad you did, that's for sure! Plus - Don't forget you can save an extra 15% today by using the coupon code above! Now THAT'S A Deal! http://store.worldstart.com/ PS - Once you try this, you'll never go back to using a mouse with your graphics or photo program - it's that good!

Q: A: Each page in a wiki usually contains a large number of links to other pages .Vandalism and spam attacks are frequent, but the administrator can usually revert to the previous version or astute users can correct the intrusion. Many businesses and corporations are using wikis as a way to make collaboration easier. Information can be kept up-to-date without the need for emails to the webmaster or meetings. The changes can be instant—and the more people involved, the more that can be added. Here are a couple of interesting wikis--keep in mind that a wiki is only as good as its collaborators... Yet another way that the internet is bringing people together to share ideas and information. ~ David Did you like that tip? Let us know by rating or adding to it here: Finding All the "Relatives" OK - so not really relatives in the sense of the annual family reunion - but instead related messages in Outlook 2007. You know, when you're looking at a message and thinking, "Now what else was I supposed to know about this?" or "What else did he send me?" You could begin a search guessing what subject or text phrase to search for or you could let Outlook 2007 do the work for you. Hmmm… difficult decision… I vote for Outlook doing the work. So here's the "trick" to it.
Instantly Outlook opens the Advanced Find dialog window and is already searching. Once the search results are returned you'll find the list in the bottom portion of the dialog window. You can double-click on a message in the list to instantly open it without needing to navigate to its actual location. The coolest part? 1) Outlook searched everywhere - Inbox, all your personal folder, etc... and; 2) it set all the parameters doing all the hard work for you. ~ April Awesome Office Tip!

Now, this is where this USB Cable Adapter comes in really handy. Again, just hook the adapter up to your "internal" drive (it doesn't have to be inside your computer) and then plug into an existing USB port on your computer. Again, easy-peasy! The drive will show up as an external drive on your computer and you can easily back-up all your files ~ pretty cool, huh? When you're done, you can disconnect and store the drive in a drawer ~ no need to have it taking up desk space! And, you've saved about $130.00 by using an "internal" drive as your backup drive! If you find yourself in either of these situations, I'm telling you ~ you've got to give this a try. You won't believe how easy this really is ~ even the "non-techies" will be surprised!

Killer 23-in1 Memory Card Reader Blowout! Amazing Price Too!! We landed an incredible deal on a 23-in-1 Memory Card Reader / Writer (USB 2.0)! It works with just about every memory card ever made - See the site for a complete list (your card type is on there, I'm sure :-). You just plug it into your computer and leave the reader on top of your desk (with XP, no setup at all, and no drivers to install). As soon as you're done shooting, just pop the card out of your camera and into the reader. From there, it's simply a matter of dragging and dropping the images to your hard drive. It couldn't be easier. The really cool thing is that these are USB 2 readers, so they're really fast (yes, they still work if you have USB 1.x). If your camera is uses a USB 1 connection for file transfer, you'll see about a 10X improvement with these! If it uses a USB 2 connection, you'll probably transfer about the same speed - but you don't need to dig out all the cables and stuff to hook up the camera. These also work great with regular files. Let's say you need to move a 50 Meg file from one computer to another. With your card reader, you could use the card from your camera to move the file. We have people who buy these just for that purpose! Again, this is one accessory I can't do without - in fact, everyone I know who has a card reader says the same thing. It's so much easier than messing around with the camera, looking for connection cables, and fighting with special software. Want one? I don't blame ya! Your price - today only - is just $9.97 and US Shipping is FREE! (PLUS - you get that 15% off if you order today) That's the best price we've ever had on a reader like this - heck, it's tough to find a card reader that just does one type of card for that kind of money!! Grab yours today ~ the price will be back to $14.97 soon! http://store.worldstart.com/ The price will increase to $14.97 tomorrow! Have A High Definition TV?

For stories, jokes, quotes and cartoons every day, sign up for our Just for Grins newsletter. This site is an amazingly delightful look in to art history. I had a very difficult time trying to decide where you should start your visit. What I finally concluded was that you should start on the About page. You can get to the About page by clicking the more link in the About SmartHistory box on the main page, or you can click the About SmartHistory link at the top of the page. The reason I think that this is a great starting place is because you learn why the site was created and what it can be used for. You also get a glimpse into their way of thinking and teaching. After you check out the About section. You should click on the Where Should I Start button on the main page. Where Should I Start? - That’s a great question, with so much information available on this site it is a good idea to get some direction. Another reason for visiting this section is that you’ll get a few terms defined, and have access to a video that will help you look at art. In college Art classes it is one of the criteria that teachers have to teach you. They have to be able to impart to you how you should view art, how to look past your first emotional response (or in some cases lack of) so that you can appreciate the brush strokes, sculpting techniques, etc. Use the side menu to go through the different sections provided here. Under Various you’ll learn things that will help you appreciate not only art, but the artist, artist workshops, and patronage. While under Media – you’ll learn about the various mediums that artists use to create their artwork. And under Institutions you’ll learn about how the academy affected art, and artists, as an extension of the monarchy. Now that you have the terminology and the theory of analyzing art at your fingertips you can dive into the different periods of Western Art. Use the time line (in the center of the main page, or the bottom of the different sections we’ve already looked at) to dive into the period of history you’d like to explore art in. Your options range from Antiquity to Post-Colonialism. As you click through, if you see a painting you like click it – to go to its page. There you will more than likely find a video that discusses the painting. I love that they’ve included videos because it gives you a different perspective on what you are looking at and may open your eyes to some detail you might have missed. This is an incredible Art History site. I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have and pass it on! ~Amanda Did you like that tip?
