The Virtues of Photoshop CS3

I just have to say, the high point of my day today has been playing with Photoshop CS3.

It's really an amazing program, and despite the fact that it might not be hugely different than PS7 or even CS2, it has two important options that I really like. Auto-layer, and Auto-blend.

In short, these two things allowed me to take 13 pictures and create this:

Otherwise, I'm just doing a preliminary apartment search today. Even though I'm not planning on moving for at least a couple months, I'd like to check places out to 1) see what they're like in general, and more importantly 2) get an idea as to what they're like when it's nice out. I really don't want to live anywhere that there are going to be swarms and swarms of children.

Finally, Rufus Wainwright's new album, Release the Stars, is pretty good. I always like new music from him. I think he's coming through Ohio/Michigan on tour in a few months. I'll have to see if I can get tickets.
