Cloud Computing Simplifies Your Life

Remember how, as a kid, you looked up at the clouds and ignited your imagination? Windows puts a technological spin on that childhood fantasy, by letting PC users create their own personal clouds where they can create, connect, and share all of the important facets of their lives.
At its core, Windows Live is designed to simplify everyday life by giving users cool tools in new ways. Getting started is easy, too. Once you have Windows 7, download Windows Live Essentials, and then get to the cloud. Some of the ways it will change your life:
Create - From editing your home movies in Movie Maker and photo editing the perfect holiday photo to working on dynamic Word documents that live online, Windows helps you maximize your creativity.
Connect - Collaborating with others to plan an event can be cinch thanks to the ability to sync and access your files from all of your devices (even the cool flyer you made on your home PC but forgot to print out). And, you can invite others to contribute their ideas using Windows Live Mesh. The old school days of PTA meetings in the cafeteria are numbered!
Share - No one likes facing down a clogged up inbox, even if it means seeing a great slideshow of your sister€™s bridal shower. Upload your album in one click to your social media accounts using Windows Live Photo Gallery, and chat about them in real time using Windows Live Messenger.

Evan Hecox's Prints Are Invigorating On The City-centric, Art-loving Eye!

Gazing at a piece of art can sometimes take you straight from the gallery into the frame. The postcard-like etchings of Evan Hecox are just those types of pieces, as many of his series' evolved from his travels to places like Tokyo, Mexico and Berlin. Using 2 to 5 tones, Hecok creates dramatic reproductions of his travel photo albums that tell Hunter S. Thompson-like stories; silhouetted and obscured, yet very emotionally descriptive. The skylines, vendor cabanas and other mundane yet illustratively defining images of the culture and cities of Hecok's visits are transformed from everyday images to captivating masterpieces by his unusual styling techniques. Newspaper print and Chinese character script are used in place of traditional smudging and hatching tactics to create shading, figures without so-much more than an outline beside ones that have been articulately detailed and selectively colored objects highlighted among the chaotically-depicted, sedated urban settings. The etch-a-sketch looking silk-screened prints are produced on renewable green energy and carbon-free paper so that Hecok's artistic expressions are sure to also make environmentally sound statements. Turn your home into an art gallery of graphically alurring travel souvenirs with Evan Hecok's prints! Get a feel for Hecok's work in this slideshow!
