I finally made a new banner for the baby site, only I made it in Photoshop so now the font is all fuzzy. Is there anything I can do to make it sharper when I save it or do I need to start over in Illustrator?

For this project, you type in your name and it scours the web to try and "categorize" you. I can't say that the end results are terribly interesting but it's worth doing for the "calculation" part.

Now don't get excited, but I need a recommendation for good buyer's agent in North Carolina.

The one site where you can only type 140 characters is trying to CENSOR me. It doesn't want you to know what I am thinking.

Here are things I tried to say the past few days:

• I tried to tell Leah that I am not up on my huge-eyes-no-nose-having news.
• I tried to thank Marg for pointing me to this site because it is, in fact, funny ( Read more... )

In baking, are the sum of the calories of the individual ingredients equal to the calories present in the finished product? Josh says that the magic of baking means that at the end, it could have MORE calories. Confirm/Deny?
