Ecto3 Alpha

If you use Ecto to do your blogging then you might be interested to know that there is an Ecto 3 Alpha version out. Not Beta so you have to be careful but from what I’ve tested so far no problems. I’m really liking the new interface, it seems more Mac-like to me than the previous version. To see what all the new features are you can check out the announcement. Again, I really like what they have done to the interface and plopping images in your blog is a whole lot easier. Can’t wait to get my hands on the end product. I think this version is easier to use overall. You can import photos as well as movies into your blog via new media browser very nifty.

Where do iPods Come from…

Once in a while I pop over to Joy of Tech to check out their tech related toons. I came across this one and just wanted to pass it along. OK I’ve been having dreams of kids lately so perhaps I’m just in that maternal mood who knows. At any rate this toon give you some albeit quirky answers on what to say when your little ones ask you where iPods come from. Enjoy and check out more tech toons at Joy of Tech. I thought that this one was hilarious.

Stipple Art

l will be the first to admit that I did not get any artistic gene especially with drawings and things of that nature. My brother ended up with that although he doesn’t do much art nowadays. I do appreciate art though and tend to like abstract art for the most part. Specifically I like Escher, Miro and Kandinsky. anyway, I came across some stipple art that I thought was cool so I decided to provide a link to some art by Noli Novak who does Stipple portraits for the Wall Street Journal. Anyway, check them out, there are some good ones in there…
