Changes in Latitudes...

I'm back! The keys were great, and we got to celebrate my mom's 50th in such a cool place. Snorkeling, kayaking, exploring, and drinking key west sunset ale. What a blast! Here's my flickr album.

Into the eye of the storm

I will be out all week on vacation in the lovely Florida Keys. So all you people reading this will have to wait in agony another week for my third post to a generic blogger blog lost in a sea of anonymity.

Adobe Gamma Sucks!


Don’t you hate Adobe Gamma? I have never been able to figure out the instructions on the page where you “set the contrast to it’s highest setting then “adjust the brightness control to make the center box as dark as possible (but not black) while keeping the frame a bright white.”

What the hell does that mean???!!! The middle box is black by my definition. So the center box should just barely contrast with the middle box? And the frame should be a bright white? What if I get the contrast just so it’s almost disappeared, but the outer box is now not as bright? where exactly is the line between white and bright white? What if I turn the brightness all the way down and there’s still visible contrast between the black boxes?

Am I the only one that thinks these directions totally suck? This has never been clear to me, but I don’t want to buy a freaking spyder just to calibrate my screen. Lame!
