50 of 52: Coloring Pages

This is one I'd been thinking about for awhile but finally go around to giving it a shot. I made Tesla some custom coloring book pages using photos of people in her life: herself, Mie and I, Elida, Sofia, MIchelle and Jeremy (and their new cat Francis). I figure coloring people she knows should be more fun than coloring random fictional princesses and mermaids right?

The process is simple: pull the original photo up in Photoshop and create a new layer. Use the brush tool to trace the original images in the new layer and the layer panel to hide/show the original as needed to check the work. It's about 5 minutes per photo.

End of the Internet as it Knew Me.

After 15 years, my first Internet hosting provider is making some big changes that caused me to go grab my stuff from there. These are some really dusty files....

Update: Wow, I just realized the full extent of these changes. The provider is apparently selling the serve.com domain name, which is the domain of my main email address I've used to sign up for pretty much EVERYTHING on the Interwebs since 1995 until now. This email address will no longer be functional in a few weeks. There is no way I can possibly be sure to update all of my website accounts to use a new address by then, and afterward I won't be able to use the forgot password feature any more. Heck, a lot of sites don't even have a facility for you to change your associated email address. This is going to turn out to be an involuntary abandonment of a lot of accounts.
