DFW Events – Week of March 22nd

“Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays.” – Office Space

Made it through the weekend, almost feel relieved it is Monday. Sydney is still sick, although a bit perkier than on Friday. She’s at least sitting up on her own, and calling for the dog. I appreciate all the tweets and love during our small family crisis. Thank you all. Alrighty, on with this week’s events:

DFW WordPress Meetup – Saturday, March 28th at 4pm – Surprise! No on blogs anymore it’s all about Twitter. j/k Come learn how you can integrate various Twitter tools into your blogging life.

And that’s it. Why you ask? Well, most folks have left their home cities to be at Photoshop World in Boston. At least that’s where I would be this week, except I have some business to attend to here. If you’re going, be sure to catch @NAPP_News as there will be a tweetup, which I believe is tomorrow evening.

Fun Fun Friday

How YOU doin’? It’s been quite a week, which ended with Sydney being sick today with a viral infection. Not how I planned to start the weekend. If you’re in Austin for SXSW this weekend, be sure to catch my sister Lesli’s band The Redwood Plan tomorrow at Lovejoys. I had planned to be there, but we’ll be staying home to get baby girl better. Alrighty, onto news around the Interwebs:

@Firgs recently wrote on her blog that she’s a Photoshop Snob. As a fellow enthusiast, I can understand the passion. However, while Photoshop is an AMAZING piece of software, it’s not for everyone. Even it’s little brother PS Elements can be a bit much, especially if all you want to do is have fun with your photos. And that’s what Vertus has done right with its latest software creation Play with Pictures.
