Hello Trello

I've been using Trello for about a week now on a small indie project. I gotta say that I really love it's ease of use and accessibility. I'm not sure how it would work for large, distributed teams, but it's proving to be a great collaboration tool for us.

Old dog, new (photoshop) tricks

Last night I was working on some graphics for a website that I'm creating. I finished up the layout and previewed it with semi-final artwork. There was just something cold about its presentation, too many harsh edges and straight lines. I really liked the layout but I needed to tweak the artwork - which meant that I had to soften and round their edges. Now normally this would be a repetitive, possibly tedious task in Photoshop. However, after some googling I found two websites that really helped me out. Vector masks are my new best friend!

Phone a friend

I just installed the new voice & chat application from google. A test run over our spotty wi-fi connection was surprisingly good.
