<h2>The FBI Sucks at Photoshop | Mashable &#8211; <a href="http://bit.ly/ccipi4" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/ccipi4</a></h2>
<p>This post confused me at first because I was trying to figure it out, because I didn&#8217;t the FBI would take someones image off then internet and use it for probably the most known terrorist in the world.</p>
<h2>Kid Creates Enormous, Surreal Picture in MS Paint | Mashable &#8211; <a href="http://bit.ly/9eLd4B" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/9eLd4B</a></h2>
<p>I just thought this was cool, I remember back in primary school I used to draw pictures and sticky tape them together to make make large ones but the dedication and the simple fact that he only used paint is incredible. When you look through the picture you don&#8217;t see any cover ups or errors pretty amazing.</p>

<p>Interesting discovery</p>

<h2>Two YouTube Videos And A Motherf***ing Crossfader, Dot Com | Gizmodo Australia &#8211; <a href="http://bit.ly/9556TX" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/9556TX</a></h2>
<p>Pretty much you have two Youtube video embeds that you can change by searching for other videos and a dodgy slider in the middle. I had fun with this for about 20min.</p>

It was during his campaign for the Nikon D90 though that many of us were first introduced to his behind-the-scenes work. Across numerous tweets, blog posts, and Facebook updates, many of us have enjoyed a fascinating glimpse into the work behind a commercial shoot.&#8221;</em></p>

<p><em>&#8220;Tuesday afternoon, January 12th, the worst earthquake in 200 years &#8211; 7.0 in magnitude &#8211; struck less than ten miles from the Caribbean city of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The initial quake was later followed by twelve aftershocks greater than magnitude 5.0. Structures of all kinds were damaged or collapsed, from shantytown homes to national landmarks. It is still very early in the recovery effort, but millions are likely displaced, and thousands are feared dead as rescue teams from all over the world are now descending on Haiti to help where they are able. As this is a developing subject, I will be adding photos to this entry over the next few days, but at the moment, here is a collection of photos from Haiti over the past 24 hours.&#8221;</em></p>

<p><em>&#8220;Two days after the magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck beneath Port-au-Prince, Haiti, some of the massive damage is becoming more apparent. Rescue teams are arriving, aid groups are trying their best to battle huge logistical challenges, bodies are being identified, and some medical care is being given. Rescue teams from all over the world have joined the recovery effort, as the United States pledged $100 million in relief efforts. The Red Cross ventured an estimate of up to 50,000 deaths, as bodies at the local morgues overflowed into the streets. Collected here are some more scenes from this devastated region&#8221;</em></p>
