Temporary (?) Official Graphic for Photoshop CS3 Beta

I’d like to preview one of my most favorite things about PS CS3 Beta; the new palette system.

As for bugs/glitches that bothered me a lot in current photoshop version, they only fixed 6 out of around 20. I believe they’ll eventually fix some more before final version but so far it’s looking solid to me. Is it solid enough for daily use? I’ll find out soon.

5 weeks fuse wire.

I’ve planned from the very beginning that we will have a nice explosion mark graphic after 5 weeks has been reached but until recently, last minute design decision changes forced me to remove it altogether but you can see how it’s supposed to look like here in my weblog.

Boom.

I’ve been insanely busy with two large but exciting projects, one being MacHeist which is around 7-8 weeks worth of works almost 6 hours everyday and another one is big software project which I’d rather not announce yet until company OK’d it.

I’ve also been working on other two small projects during my free time, one was for my brother’s real job HOVRS. My brother and I did website design and various graphics for their newest sub-website titled HOVRS Purple VIP with exclusive contents only available to Purple VIP members and another various stuffs that you may/may not see in the future.

At midnight, there’ll be another post showing a graphic that couldn’t make it into 5th weeks MacHeist web design due to recent design changes.

You want true entertainment? This is it.

Liking Wii Sports so far. Been playing with my dad on Wii Golf and he absolutely love it and also bowling and baseball (he was 100% non-gamer before Wii.) He said he wanted Nintendo to make Wii Basketball and Wii Soccer next haha.

I’ll play Zelda: TP when he’s tired from Wii Sports =)

HOVRS, Inc. – Hands On Video Relay Service

With Wayne’s promotion, you’ll never see a design like above with Comic Sans again ;)

My brother Wayne Betts, Jr. just got promoted to Creative Marketing Manager at HOVRS, Inc. (a medium-sized company.)

Way to go, bro! :)

I just couldn’t wait for my Wii Console to arrive so I went ahead and tested it on my XBOX360. Amazingly it worked! See the result for yourself.

Inserting Zelda: Twilight Princess DVD into XBOX360…

Reading… blah blah blah

And the introduction movie played on my Sony TV

Here’s what I used as a controller:

Note: This is not photoshopped.

I played the game and rate it 0 out of 5 stars because the controller aren’t working, I can’t press start at “Press Start” screen, WTF I don’t get it? Nintendo sux anyway.

Got it this morning :)

Now I gotta wait till Nov 21st.

Available in Blue and Graphite 1280×1024

When I saw this picture of torn paper at iStockphoto, I thought it’s too good not to turn into desktop background so I bought it right away and masked away the background and put this on gradient background. If you would like different color options and/or screen size, I’m willing to do up to two popular ones as I’m pretty busy lately with several projects.

Right-click and save as:
Be Original Blue – 1280×1024, 1920×1200
Be Original Graphite – 1280×1024, 1920×1200

Finally, CSSEdit 2 is out today and it is a solid upgrade. I’ve been beta-testing the app and also contributed some icons along with Jan Van Boghout’s icons. He’s such a talented artist and I love his style.

Everyone should check out the Overriding feature. Very helpful, especially for WordPress blog.

Finally after our crazy dedications (!) to the website, it’s now ready for only a few randomly selected people who signed up. They will have limited inviting power very soon. If you didn’t get an email invitation yet, have some patience, you could be in second, third or fourth round of mass email invitations soon!

Once again, this is not the event to miss if you’re a Mac user. I’ve seen some of the things they got planned and it’s going to be really fun :)
