The exhibition Star Wars: Identities is currently in Montreal. Although I have not seen it yet, I was quite impressed with the artwork for the posters used to promote the exhibition. Here are a couple of the posters that I was able to find online. Pay close attention to the details in the picture. Each one reveals extra details once you look deeper. You can download any of these posters as desktop wallpapers. Their resolution is pretty good.

I do a lot of web programming that involves interaction with Google Maps. In cases where I need to use Google’s standard markers, it’s always a headache trying to figure out what custom markers exist. So I wrote a little script to create a list of all the standard Google marker icons availalbe.
Here is a list of all the standard Google map marker icons available:

I absolutely love this poster for the Captain America movie. The visuals for this poster are absolutely stunning. This is one of the best design work that I have seen for a movie poster in quite some time. I love the attention to detail, the lighting and even the textures used in this poster.

One of my favorite parts of the Iron Man 2 movie was the Iron Man Hope and Change poster. I thought I was the only person that thought this poster was great until I found out that many people are looking for this poster online. Well, for anybody out there that is interested, djbowen at Deviantart has created a pretty good replica.

So, as the entire world knows, I’m a Google-Groupie! Google can do no wrong in my eyes. I love everything from their Chrome browser to Google Maps to Gmail. (Oh, i also love their search engine…) Anyways, a friend recently introduced me to Picasa by Goolge. Picasa is a free photo management software from Google. Simply put, Picasa is AWESOME! All I can say is Google does it again! You can edit photo, create slideshows, upload your images and so much more.

F.lux is a great application for people like myself who stay in front of a computer all day! The application makes the color of your computer’s display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day. F.lux adjusts the glow of your monitor (brightness and tint) based on the time of day, dimming your monitor later into the evening and tinting the screen color based on the kind of lighting you use.

The Iron Man 2 Silver Centurion Armor was by far the best suit that Iron Man had in the movie. It’s really a shame that it was not used more in the movie. Its no wonder why this poster of the centurion armor of Iron Man is my favorite poster of the movie.

After years of working in the SEO field, I have been brainwashed to think that following other people’s links is a bad thing. That’s why many of the sites that I’ve built use the no-follow link attribute. But recently, I’ve started to become influenced by the do-follow movement also known as You Comment – I Follow. Now, don’t get me wrong, if you are looking at things purely from an SEO point of view, do-follow links make no sense, but from a blogging point of view, do-follow links are the best way to foster interaction between your blog and your visitors.
