Photoshop getting even better!!!

Now we all know how photoshop is amazing and can save us, but also how alot can be very time consuming. After watching this short video sneak peak of the new things photoshop will be able to do, I am more amazed then ever. The tool is called content aware and it can alter images and remove things from photos that might typically take from hours to days in only 2 seconds and 2 clicks!! Take a quick look to see for yourself.

Ljubicic is victorious!!

Ivan Ljubicic beat Andy annoying Roddick in straight sets!! Was a tight match, they were neck and neck, both playing for their serves, which were hard to break, but thankfully Ljubicic was better with the tie breaker than Roddick... And in a case of tying this to advertising, well look at the whole court, its covered in it!! N its official name is the BNP Paribas Open... not Indian Wells Open... so there you have it, advertising is consuming sports! Although we already knew that. I used to go to the Adidas Open as a kid in Sydney, but now its called the Medibank Open! Would you rather go to a tennis tournament sponsored by a boring healthfund or a giant sports label such as adidas? Adidas offered games and free clothing and memorabilia for ticket holders... what did medibank offer?? oh thats right... nothing!! except a hat you had to pay 15 dollars for with their name on it! cmon!!!!!

Anyways I swear I go off track to easily.... My point is Ljubicic won and as one of the oldest players on the circuit, he has done them proud, showing you dont have to be young to be on top!!

As a huge tennis enthusiast myself, and while im blabbering on about it, I'm going make the introduction to my youngest little cousin Martina who is rising up on the international ladder. At the age of 14, she has trained with the famous Nick Bollettieri and been offered a spot on his training squad in florida where many top 10 players have played, been invited to numerous training squads around the world, won the Singapore National tournament and many tournaments in Australia, along with just this past week winning the Tildesley Shield for her school. Hopefully she will grace Europe this coming summer for her first European matches.

Marmite takes spoofing to a hot level!

So we have all probably seen these ads around London recently. Much better than those one where you see people throwing up marmite saying you either love it or your hate it. I thought id finally post this up as my street has been plagued with the posters, and I have been tempted to rip them down and take them home. Now while I love the posters, I would never in my life buy marmite, its not that I hate the taste, its just simple because I am a VEGEMITE girl and can't abandon my brand for another,lol... Clearly, by comparing the ads, you can tell vegemite isnt working as hard as marmite.... then again vegemite is well known enough as it is that it probably doesnt need it. Either way here is the link from a vegemite ad when they were working on their new flavour.

Intro to Mode!!

So I don't know how Mode is gonna feel about this, but I want to introduce the world to Mode!! ofcourse she needs no introduction, she is amazingly talented, studying in San Fran at the moment about to finish up her degree, but I am keeping my fingers crossed that after graduation, she returns to London to bless us all with her art.. and writing... and whatever else she wants to do!! lol So go over to her page and see what she is made of. http://modechronicles.blogspot.com/
I have known this gorgeous artistic girl since 11th grade where we shared a love for hiding from the crazy girls in our art class and relocating to the bottom section of the art room, and a mutal annoyance with french... even though she was much better than me... yes admit it you are!!
Now pack your bags Mode, and get back to London asap!! The world awaits your talent!

Im back, just like the Formula 1... very slow

Ok so internet buggered out on me thanks to the folks at BT, so managed to live off nothing for a while... with the odd trip to the pub to use their net or the trusty iphone. The first thing I want to turn your attention to is the formula 1 today. It was by far the most boring race I have seen in years. Im not sure if it was the stupid additions to the track, the new alterations to the formula 1 cars or the boring scenery of Bahrain, but worst race to start off! Im sure if they started off in Melbourne, it would have been more interesting. Its nice to see some new teams though like Lotus and Virgin Racing, and the return of the historic silver arrows team. I look forward to the next race, and hope that this last race will be burned out of my memory!! haha...

The worlds most intelligent soccer ball

For years, people have spent their time yelling at the reff for being an utter moron... unfortunately we cant control footballers behaviour on and off the field as we have noticed this year with all the behaviour coming from the english team/chelsea team,lol. And we can yell at the reff all we wont, but it wont do anything. We could however control the outcome of the ball and the game.. such as being off side and going out. This ball, designed by AGENT is called CTRUS, and it changes colour when the ball goes out or off side, and it even tells you the travel speed and strike force funny enough... gives me a strange idea that it could be like tennis serves where the speed gets put up on a board for everyone to see.lol. And ready for this one... IT HAS AN INBUILT CAMERA!!! It shows you the goal from the balls perspective... and you could probably even see if it was handball... its SUPER SMART I SWEAR!!! although not sure how much a header with this ball would hurt,lol.
