Digitally Printed Garments

I am trying to establish a Christmas Eve tradition for my family. Ever since we stopped going to my husband’s grandmother’s house for her family Christmas party on Christmas Eve, we haven’t really had anything to do that night. At first I was okay with that, after having somewhere to go every single Christmas Eve since I was a baby (growing up we went to my dad’s family gathering on Christmas Eve then once I was married we started going to my husband’s family function), it was nice to not have to pack up the kids and go anywhere, getting home late only to wrestle with the kids to get them into their new Christmas printed pajamas and then to bed so I could relax and put out the Santa presents. But after a couple of years of having nothing to do, I realized that I missed it. And since I want Christmas Eve to be enjoyable and not stressful, I’ve tried to think of something fun to do. Last year I came up with the idea of putting some hot chocolate in a thermos, grabbing some snacks, and after an early supper of homemade pizza, heading out to drive around and look at Christmas lights for a while, then head home and put the kids to bed. That seemed to work well and we all enjoyed it so we’re going to do it again this year. It’s also a good opportunity for me to take some lovely high color photographs of the Christmas lights. I’m not sure it’s a tradition that will hold since after a while the kids will get too old to want to look at Christmas lights, but it will work as a tradition for the foreseeable future anyway.

Getting Intimate with Google Personal Search

In a further effort to make search results more relevant to it users, Google will begin to provide more personalized search results for users of the fledgling Google+ social networking service. The new service will draw search results by drawing on the photos, news and comments posted from within the Google+ network and should be rolled out in the next few days.

A new service called "Search, Plus Your World" will display users own content from Google+, along with posts from friends, said Amit Singhal, who focuses on improving information retrieval at Mountain View, California-based Google. If someone searched for a dog, for instance, pictures of friends’ dogs might show up first in their search results.

"At Google, we always want to return the most comprehensive and relevant answers to your questions, and many times those answers are in the open public Web, but many times those answers are in your own personal content," Singhal said. "This is the first time we’re bringing personal content right into the results page."

Other changes to the Google search include a new feature called “Profiles in Search” which will include an auto complete function that will display links to your friends (from Google+) accounts while typing in queries in to the search box on Google. The new service will also offer suggestions of people to follow. This information will be drawn from Google+ accounts or from Google’s photo-sharing service, Picasa.

Despite its best efforts, Google still struggles to compete with the social media giant Facebook. As of October 2010, Google had 40 million users, compared to the 800 million Facebook users.

Photos Printed on Clothing

I recently discovered a function in my Photoshop program (too bad my program doesn’t have the capability of putting my digital photos on clothes myself), that while I vaguely knew was there, had never explored at all. A recent theme in my Facebook photography group was ‘Panoramics’. I had one to use that I had stitched together manually in Photoshop, but later I got to thinking. There is a Photomerge function that will take you photos and stitch them together in the best way that the program can determine. (Wouldn’t those panoramics just make the best printed banners?) So what I’ve done is I’ve started taking my camera out to scenic areas, putting my shutter release function on burst, starting facing one side of the total area I plan to shoot, then while continuing to press the shutter, I slowly pan across until I get to the stopping point I want. What this does is takes a series of photos with the same exposure settings, and as long as I have a relatively steady hand, the series is positioned similarly. Then in Photoshop, I select the series of pictures to be used in the Photomerge function and click okay. The computer does all the work of putting the photos together into one long panorama, and then I do my other editing as usual. This is one example of a panoramic shot done using this method. Now if only I had a digital printer big enough to be able to handle printing these panoramic shots I am creating. Or maybe I should try finding a company that uses sublimation to put it on a coffee mug for me.

Tweak the Login Page

One of the coolest things about WordPress is that just about everything is able to be customized. One way to make your sites original and go the extra step for your client projects is to customize the standard and blah WordPress login page. With just a little bit of code you can quickly and easily change four different parts of the login page. Remember you don’t have to tweak everything, just tweak what you want.

So what can you tweak and how do you get these tweaks working on your WordPress website. In this post we will look at how to adjust the link that is associated with the logo on the login page, how to change the name that appears on the login page, how to modify the graphical image that displays on the login page, and finally how to completely modify the CSS of the login page by adding your own custom CSS file. All of this code (with the exception of the CSS file specifically mentioned below) belongs in your theme’s functions.php file. (Note: If your theme folder doesn’t have a functions.php file, you can easily create one.)

Tweaking the Login Page Name

Using a simple filter we can change the default “name” that appears on a login page for WordPress when you hover over the logo. For this example we will replace the default “Powered by WordPress” hover text with the actual name of our blog that can be modified in the Admin area (Settings –>> General)

function modify_loginpgname() {
   $name = get_option('blogname');
   echo $name;
}
add_filter('login_headertitle','modify_loginpgname');

Switch the Link on the Image

You may have noticed that on the default WordPress login page, the WordPress logo actually links off to WordPress.org. If this is something you or your client don’t want, now you just need to following code to switch/change the url to something more useful… like the front page of your site.

function switch_headerlink(){
  $url = bloginfo('url');
  echo $url;
}
add_filter('login_headerurl','switch_headerlink');

Swapping out the Login Logo

You might also want to swap out the WordPress logo with your own personal logo, or even the logo of the client for whom you are building the site. Nothing makes a client happier than seeing their logo on different parts of their websites. (Just a hint!)

function swap_loginlogo(){
      $style = '<style type=text/css"> h1 a { background:transparent url(' . get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/images/swappedlogo.jpg) no-repeat center top !important; }</style>';
      echo $style;
}
add_action('login_head','swap_loginlogo');

In the above code you can see that it is pulling our logo image called swappedlogo.jpg out of the images/ folder we have in our theme folder. The CSS we are adding (for the H1 a tag) is adding the logo for us.

Change the entire CSS

You can also just go all out and add your own CSS file that will be loaded ONLY when the login page for WordPress is loaded. This allows for those of you who want to get creative to go crazy. The following code grabs our custom CSS file (login.css) from our theme folder.

function my_customcss_loginpage(){
   echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/login.css" />';
}
add_action('login_head','my_customcss_loginpage');

A Worthy Contender In The Race For The Leading Tablet-7 inch google android tablet pc LY901

7 inch google android tablet pc LY901

This Ly901 HDMI Tablet PC has google android 2.1 operation system, adn has camera with in, and it support the external 3G function,if you want the 3G function,you can pay more USD 29, then we will add it to this tablet PC.and it built in speaker and MIC.it support 32 gb TF flash memory card max Color: Red,black,silver CPU: Rockchip2818 700Mhz OS: Google Android 2.1 RAM: 256MB DDR2 Storage: 2 nand flash Display: 7 inch TFT resistance-type touch screen 800*480

Today’s world is ever changing, especially when it comes to the technology that we carry around in our bags and backpacks. In the past it was beepers, and then it became cell phones, which got smaller and smaller as time went by. Then these cell phones became smart phones. Now, it seems like a person’s portable gadget arsenal is no longer complete without a tablet in it. When it comes to Tablets, there are certain brands and models that will certainly come into mind, and this is because there are certain brands that are currently topping the market in terms of specs and performance. But it looks like Samsung is serious about throwing its name in the hat and the proof is the Samsung Galaxy Tab. The Galaxy is a nifty 7-inch tablet that has a brilliant resolution, wifi connectivity, and expandable memory with?Bluetooth connectivity, USB 2.0 availability, and MicroSD capability.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab may be a new contender in this market, but it is proving itself to be a worthy competitor as more countries all over the world are marking its release. One of the most eye-catching things about the Galaxy tab is just how different it is in looks when compared to other kinds of tablet gadgets in the market. It’s smaller size is definitely a plus size, but it also features different colored sides where one features sleek black and the back features pristine white. This contrast alone can make people raise their eyebrow in anticipation of what else is a spiffy difference when it comes to the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

The operating system of the Galaxy tab is the Android 2.2 Froyo, which was originally created for Samsung’s smart phones but is proving to be very effective as an OS for a Tablet gadget. It offers a whopping 1GHZ processor, 32GB?of built in storage, dual cameras for easy video chat, as well as Adobe Flash support – something that not even the leading tablet in the market has right now. The screen features a 1024×600 pixel resolution, and it has no discolorations or over-saturation when the screen is tilted, making it a great product for reading eBooks. You can even read comfortably even when in direct sunlight, which is a big downside in a lot of other different brands of tablets.

It seems that the Samsung Galaxy Tab is one that will be seen more often as a worthy companion. Not only is it more portable than and just as powerful as leading brands, but it looks different, feels different but works even better than the rest.
