assorted sweets: 2005.11.252005.11.25

• Photo Retouch Gallery
  Because I keep losing the link to this - her site ALSO has some amazing Photoshop tutorials, but I love the gallery because it shows what you *can* do if you put your mind to learning it...
• Million Dollar Mobile
  Yeah, you're reading that right. It's very, very blingy, and it's worth a million dollars. And some small bling-loving little girl part of me desperately wants one! (Even though I rarely use my existing cell phone.)
• When I’m 94
  What will happen to our digital bits in 60 years? I love Foamcow's ideas in the comments. :)
• Revealing hidden assumptions in estimation
  Good thing for all of us to keep in mind. Great quote: "What assumptions are you missing? What real work are you overlooking because the imaginary work is so much more attractive?"
• Chocolate in Photoshop
  Because if you can't have any, you might as well draw some? I dunno. Maybe I should use this technique to make wallpaper, so I can *always* have my chocolate.
• Galya Rosenfeld pillows
  Sexy, sexy ultrasuede pillows. Too modern for my home, but oh so sweet on the eyes.
• teehan lax
  A Toronto-based UX company. Cool. Who knew?
• Words and Phrases that Trigger Some Spam Filters
  Interesting, if daunting, list. Technology gurus, please come up with a better solution than this! (There are days when I think charging a nominal fee to send an email isn't a half-bad idea... would perhaps stop the mass-mailers?)
• Church of the Customer Blog: Amazon's customer collaboration, Pt. 2
  It will be interesting to see how this pans out. Willingness to provide free content has worked for IMDB and Wikipedia, but neither started out as a commercial interest with a focus on making big $$ - will the public buy into the idea of helping Amazon make more money?
