			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So today I received a pair of 3D glasses in the mail from the awesome people at <a title="Jupiter Images" href="http://www.jupiterimages.com" target="_blank">Jupiter Images</a>. Inside I was directed to take a look at images built in 3D with the specs on, at <a title="Jupiter Images in 3D" href="http://www.jupiterimages.com/3dimages" target="_blank">www.jupiterimages.com/3dimages</a>.</p>
<p>To be honest, I expect some cheesy results, but I&#8217;m excited over these images! They&#8217;ve gathered some neat photography to use with this interactive page, and it&#8217;s amazed me! If you haven&#8217;t got a pair of 3D specs (those red and blue ones, not the Michael Jackson <a title="Captain EO" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AstW05bDiQU" target="_blank">&#8220;Captain EO&#8221;</a> glasses,  then I suggest just using your imagination of how awesome they are! (Or get some red and blue plastic and cover your eyes. Also check out the  <a title="Captain EO" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AstW05bDiQU" target="_blank">&#8220;Captain EO&#8221;</a> video for fun!)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So we&#8217;ve integrated Lightwindow to preview some of our work on our site. Been very happy with it, and it&#8217;s a great way to present images. It&#8217;s very flexible and fairly simple to use as well, so we&#8217;ve also included it into a couple of client websites. Thanks to Kevin Miller of <a title="Stickman labs" href="http://www.stickmanlabs.com" target="_blank">Stickman labs</a> for this neat little widget. He&#8217;s also got an accordion style widget to use, so you might be interested in that.</p>
<p>There are also some other overlay style scripts to use, but we&#8217;ve been comfortable with this one. You might also want to check out <a title="Light Box" href="http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/" target="_blank">Light Box</a> which is another great script.</p>
<p>Check them out, and remember to give some thanks if you&#8217;re using them.</p>

<p>Just wanted to let all the MAC users out there, that the Microsoft Wireless Keyboard and Mouse set being sold at Apple stores does the system justice.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been using it for quite some time now, and a few people have been asking what keyboard I use and if I&#8217;ve bought the new flat keyboard Apple sells.</p>
<p>No, I haven&#8217;t switched over to that. As a designer and a developer, I need ergonomic tools to reduce the stress of typing and mousing throughout the day. A lot of people don&#8217;t really look much into ergonomics of their desk setting since they don&#8217;t work at a computer nearly as much as they would compared to designers or developers, but even for those who work 9 to 5&#8217;s at a desk need proper office ergonomics too.</p>
<p>Well, the Microsoft Comfort Keyboard was the answer to alleviating the stress on my wrists from the older MAC keyboard, and all though I love the Mighty Mouse, the Microsoft Mouse included with the keyboard is very comforable.</p>
<p>A few drawbacks are that it&#8217;s an RF signal, and a Bluetooth set would be much more efficient, but this will do for now. I haven&#8217;t seen any other keyboard that is as comfortable, so I&#8217;ll be sticking with it for now and also using my Tablet.</p>
<p>The set does use 2 AA batteries per unit, and you need to keep a clear area for the wireless receiver. I say use it and save your wrists from carpral tunnel.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left"><a href="http://weareatlarge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/wacom_bamboo_1.jpg" title="Bamboo tablet"><img src="http://weareatlarge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/wacom_bamboo_1.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Bamboo tablet" align="left" /></a>So I&#8217;ve purchased my first Wacom tablet.  The last and first time I used one was about 2 years ago, and did not like it at all. I&#8217;ve never been too fond of tablets, and been pretty good with a mouse, but I decided I&#8217;d give it another shot.</p>
<p> I took a trip to the Northridge mall&#8217;s Apple store and purchased the economically priced Bamboo tablet by Wacom. Was debating whether to get this model, or the Bamboo Fun, or an Intuos. Well since it is my first purchase, and I have a collection of 5 different mice, I didn&#8217;t need any extras, so I went with the Bamboo.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s got a nice clean look to it, and 4 light up buttons on the tablet. Nice soft feel on the pen and the surface, and a touch sensitive scroll/zoom pad. I wish the pad lit up too, or maybe if the pen had a glow tip, maybe like the pen would glow more intense the harder you press on it? Just something cool!</p>
<p>Anyhow, it&#8217;s a great product, the pen is very precise aside from getting used to it, and I&#8217;ve been testing it out in Photoshop and it&#8217;s an awesome tool to use while creating masks with a brush. So far I&#8217;m pleased with it, few drawbacks would be double clicking on things with the tip, it&#8217;s made my MacPro act funny dragging in the wrong areas, and you really got make sure u click the buttons on the side. Could just take some getting used to, but I&#8217;ve been using the eraser end to navigate around&#8230;or my trust mouse!</p>
<p>All in all I think it&#8217;s a pretty neat product, at the price of about $75 after tax, why not get one! Fun to use, and precise too!</p>
