Go to this Flickr photo, and download the full-size version of the image above, which you can use to add an old-timey film-like “sloppy border” to any print. It won’t fake out the pros, but it could spice up that special picture a little bit.

If you think the Clone Brush and Spot Healing Tool are awesome, then you will fall over in joy at this newly demo’d featured from Adobe — which will *maybe* be included in Photoshop CS5.

Ridiculously funny promo video for the putative sport of “cross-country snowboarding.” I found it on a sports blog at the Toronto Star, but it’s originally from Fuel TV, and yes, it’s fake, but oh so plausible.
I thought the best part was around 1:25, when they talk about not “stepping out” — for any reason. But then they busted out the Body Break parody.
