Not in my name

Not in my name


Here we go again, the US and UK, together with France, are once again hell bent on destabilising an entire region by planning a premeditated invasion against the government of Syria. Only this time, in support of Jihadist opposition led by al Qaeda. You know, the people who kinda hate us. So it kinda makes you wonder what the fuck is our PM drinking when he comes out to support al Qaeda.

In the meantime, we are slowly groomed by our media, particularly the BBC, Guardian, Independent and Times (thanks to this little Orwellian system known as the DA-Notice), into believing that entering the war is necessary based on a lie. Fortunately many of us still remember when our governments lied to us about Iraqs none-existent Weapons of Mass Destruction program. Again, no solid evidence, just warmongering by governments finding an excuse to justify lining up the pockets of the military industry. Remember David Kelly?

I would think that if anyone used chemical weapons, it would be the al Qaeda rebels, who has access to our governments chemical weapons stoke piles. And since when do we take the moral high ground? US attacks on thousands of innocent civilians using drones are absolutely okay, last I read.

You cant fault al Qaeda for the shrewd way in which they managed to lead every western powers and their media buddies to their cause, especially after how successful they were with the Libya campaign (by bombing civilians with the help of NATO). Convince the US and UK to take down Assad and once he is gone, they can then take over the country and whatever weapons left behind. Hook, line and sinker.

It amazes me that our government is willing to close schools, hospitals and fire stations but they suddenly have billions to go on another jolly war to appease some arm manufacturer buddies of theirs. Still it is hopeless. This unelected government is hell bent on going on another war whether we approve or not. If this sparks World War III, then well, we told you so. Except we would all probably be dead by then.

This is frightening stuff. But I see Barack Obama and David Cameron, like their past predecessors, George Bush and that psychopath Tony Blair, havent got a clue. Will our governments ever learn? Evidently not.

Painting a Bakery Case in Watercolor

Painting a Bakery Case in Watercolor




Yesterday I painted a bakery case in watercolor. (Link to YouTube)

The challenge was to paint the pastries seen through the glass as well as the reflection of the skylights. 

This is difficult because the brain cant see these two overlapping realms at the same time. The camera does it more easily because its monocular. 

At the pencil stage I laid out the perspective and also the shapes of the reflection areas. Within the area of each light reflection, I raised the values to a higher tint. Since it was transparent watercolor, I had to do this without resorting to opaque gouache.

Thanks to Heather and the Fresh n Easy Café in Kingston, New York

New Features In Photoshop CC 2014

New Features In Photoshop CC 2014


1. Smart Guides

Getting the correct distance between two objects is crucial in web design but it can be a tedious task to measure everything. With the Photoshop CC 2014 release, you longer do you have to guess the measurements between objects. The new Smart Guides are one of the most useful features because they show you the relative distance between objects and make positioning objects much easier. To use Smart Guides, hold the Control or Command key. A purple smart guide will appear and you can see the distance between your selected layer and the canvas. You can even measure the distance between two layers simply by hovering over the other layer. If you don’t see anything, make sure that you have the Move or any Path tool selected then try again.
image
Tip: If you want to change the measurements, simply press Ctrl/Cmd+R to enable the Rulers then right-click on the ruler and select the measurement you’d like to use.
image
Smart Guides also let you create matched spacing so that you can duplicate a layer to another position and repeat this with the same spacing you had before. For example, let’s say we want to duplicate this circle three times. Simply hold the Alt or Option key then drag it towards the right.
image
Repeat the same thing by holding Alt or Option and dragging another circle towards the right. Photoshop will automatically snap this circle so that the spacing matches.
image
image

2. Smart Object Improvements

A new feature in Photoshop CC that wasn’t found in Photoshop CS6 is Linked Smart Objects. This feature lets you embed a file to your Photoshop document and anytime you edit that Linked Smart Object, your file will save as well. This also works the other way around – you can edit your file then update your Linked Smart Object and it’ll update your Photoshop document with the new file.
image
If you wanted to turn the Linked Smart Object into a regular embedded one that isn’t linked, you can simply right-click on the layer and choose “Embed Link”. But in previous versions of Photoshop CC, you couldn’t do this vice-versa and turn an Embedded Smart Objected into a Linked Smart Object. Now you can do this in Photoshop CC 2014 by right-clicking any Embedded Smart Object and choosing Convert to Linked. When you do this, Photoshop will open a new window asking where you’d like to save the file. Save the file and your Embedded Smart Object is now a Linked Smart Object.
image
When you start using Linked Smart Objects, you’ll often find yourself having to organize where those files are stored in your computer. And if you have a document with many Linked Smart Objects, it can be a lot of work to organize all your files and send it to your coworker. Instead, you can now use the Package tool which will save a copy of your Photoshop document with all the Linked Smart Objects into any folder. Simply go to File > Package, browse for a folder where you want to save the files, and Photoshop will automatically save your document with all the Linked Smart Objects organized into the Linked folder.
image
What happens when you open a Photoshop document with a missing Linked Smart Object? Photoshop will let you know about the error and you can find the file.
imageIf If you can’t find the file, Photoshop still has a raster version of the layer that you can use but you need to rasterize your layer. If you try to edit the layer, Photoshop will ask you if you want to rasterize the Smart Object. Click Yes and you can edit the layer.
image
The last update for Smart Objects are selectable layer comps. Sometimes you need to create multiple variations or compositions of the same artwork. For this, you can use the Layer Comps panel by going to Window > Layer Comps. You can create multiple layer comps and change the layer visibility, position, and appearance. In Photoshop CC 2014, you can easily switch between different layer comps on your Smart Object. To do this, select a Smart Object then go to Window > Properties. You’ll find a dropdown menu for you to pick the layer comps.
image

3. Better Font Previews and Typekit Integration

Photoshop CC 2014 brings a huge update to the Text tool. Firstly, you can pick your fonts quicker with the live font preview. Simply hover over a font from the options bar and your text will update. You can also do this by pressing the up or down button. Sometimes a font will have several styles – instead of pressing up or down multiple times until you get to the next font, you can hold the shift key while pressing up or down and it’ll skip the styles and go straight to the next font.
Typekit Fonts
Another feature you’ll notice is the green icon beside the font. This indicates that the font is from Typekit – a respiratory of fonts that are free to use with your Creative Cloud membership. Simply click on the Add Fonts from Typekit  button and the Typekit website will load in your browser and automatically log you in. From here, you can select the font you want to use and sync it to your computer. The font will appear in Photoshop automatically without restarting.
Syncing Fonts from Typekit
Back in the Photoshop font selection menu, you can filter the fonts list so that it only shows fonts from TypeKit.
 image
You can also search for a font by typing. For example, you can type “bold cond” to find all the bold condensed fonts.
image
Finally, if you open a Photoshop document with missing fonts, Photoshop will automatically inform you if they’re available on Typekit and you can
image
image

4. Path and Spin Blur

With the new Path and Spin blur modes for the Blur Gallery filter, you can create realistic motion blur along a path or a circular motion blur. To access these, go to Filter > Blur Gallery > Path or Spin blur. First, we’ll show you the Path blur. This blur mode lets you create a motion blur along a path. Simply draw a path in the direction that you’d like the motion blur to move towards. You can also draw multiple paths in different areas.
image
image
The Spin blur creates a circular motion blur and it’s great for making the wheels look like they’re moving.
image
With the two new blur modes, you can create great looking motion blur car ads.
image

5. Focus Selections

Here’s a photo of with a blurry background and let’s say we want to make a selection of just the areas that are in focus. We can do this easily with the new Focus Area selection tool. To use this, go to Select > Focus Area.
image
Adjust the “In-Focus Range” setting or checkmark the Auto box to have Photoshop guess it for you. The selection isn’t always perfect but you can use the add and subtract tools to fix it. When you’re done, you can further enhance the selection by clicking on the Refine Edge button. This will bring up the Refine Edge tool to improve your selection.
image
And just like that, we created a quick selection of the in-focus areas that we can use with any adjustment or fill layers.

Not In The Wild iOS 8 SSL Certificate Parsing Bug Crash Crash Crash

Not In The Wild iOS 8 SSL Certificate Parsing Bug Crash Crash Crash


--

Interest Level: Background

The system used to encrypt data sent across the Internet has had a bad time this past year. A parade of bugs and exploits have been found. Related problems in hash functions have been found. Fraudulent security certificates have been forged by questionable certificate authorities. Google has injected a level of paranoia as well as demands for technology improvements, while itself ignoring its own aspirations. The result is a complicated and confusing mess that leaves users wondering what is safe and what is not.

On Wednesday, Dan Goodin of Ars Technica reported a new twist in the Internet encryption contortions by way of a report and public presentation from the company Skycure. They have found a bug in iOS 8 that allows an attack on iOS devices over Wi-Fi through the use of a malicious SSL security certificate. This attack can trigger Apple devices running iOS 8 to go into an endless crash loop while in the connection vicinity of the offending Wi-Fi network.

Note that this bug is NOT yet being exploited in the wild. It is at this point simply of interest while we wait for Apple to patch the bug and prevent it from becoming a real problem for users.

Below, I have linked both Dan Goodins article and the source blog post from Skycure.

If youre interested in higher level Mac and iOS security, this is well worth a read. Otherwise, its in the background as only a potential problem to iOS users.

iOS bug sends iPhones into endless crash cycle when exposed to rogue Wi-Fi
SSL cert parsing error allows attackers to create "No iOS Zone," researchers say.
- Dan Goodin, Ars Technica

“No iOS Zone” – A New Vulnerability Allows DoS Attacks on iOS Devices
- Yair Amit, Skycure

Both articles provide videos illustrating the SSL certificate bug.

Native PDF Reader in Next Firefox Release

Native PDF Reader in Next Firefox Release


Firefox 18 has just been released, but Mozilla are working fast to publish their first Beta release for the upcoming Firefox 19. One of the key feature of Firefox 19 that has been expected by many people (including me) is the native PDF reader without any need to install PDF plugins by Adobe Reader.

This feature has been included, but disabled by default by the developer since its still considered unstable (but can be enabled by modifying the about:config window). This time, the developer thinks its ready for public use.

Another interesting features are the new experimental Remote Web Console which can connect to Firefox for Android and Firefox OS web applications and interact with them from within the desktop installation of Firefox and Browser Debugger for add-on and browser developers. They are still disabled by default for now and probably be enabled by Firefox 20 or even 21.

Our last few weeks in photos

Our last few weeks in photos


I follow a friends blog and every week she posts their "week in photos".  I love the idea.  I dont always carry my nice camera and take amazing photos, but smart phone technology makes it pretty easy to still capture what we are doing.  Thank goodness!   My memory isnt great and without pictures Id forget half of the things we do.  Maybe thats why Ive always loved photography?  Heres my attempt at our "week in photos" which is more like the last few weeks.  Hopefully Ill get better at doing this.  

The girls and cousin Harper.  

Its so cute when they are great friends.

We had a fancy dinner with candles and sparkling cider.  

Brian took the day off work and we went to the movies at 9:30am while both girls were at school.  

Emmie had a play date.  I took a quick shower and came down to this on the kitchen table.  

Luckily they had just unwrapped all of the candy first and hadnt eaten too much yet.  Phew!  

We went on a bike ride on one of the last "warm" days.

Christmas lights are up.  We cant reach the peaks with any ladder and its too steep to be on the roof.  Maybe next year well hire someone to do more.  And maybe not... 

This picture was to show the Elf.  Shes back -- and keeping us on our toes.  

Shopping with friends.  And matching coats

Grandpa was here for his birthday!  

We attempted a picture with me in it.  

 We took the cousins to "Frozen"  It was so good.  

We drove around to see Christmas lights and the girls got to eat popcorn balls.  Big mistake!  At least next time get white ones.  They were so sticky and messy.  

I think when you become a grandparents you forfeit your right to open your own presents.

Dinner in our dress up clothes.  Pretty normal scene here.  

Reading in the laundry basket

We went downtown to see the lights and prepare to photography my cousins proposal.  Shes always such a model.

It was so cold and getting late.  The girls were pretty crazy.

Santa comes to Brians office which is so nice.  And no one cried this time.  They are getting older!




Brian took us up to see where he works since we rarely go inside his building.
