Wordpress released the latest 2.9 version, there are some cool features including Global undo/”trash” – if you accidentally delete a post or comment you can bring it back from the grave. Built-in image editor allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images. Batch plugin update and compatibility checking, which means you can update 10 plugins at once, versus having to do multiple clicks for each one. Easier video embeds that allow you to just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code.

Hey guys! Long time without blogging. Well I have been busy working at several projects here in the studio. I just finished a logo that I loved, it is so retro style. But I will post this later.
Now I wanted to share this website application with the well known site VEER. It is so cool, I spend around an hour playing this at work, so funny!
Make your face is a new kind of game that veers offers in the web, you can create faces with so many options, from serious to super cool ones.
Hope you enjoy it as I did.

I have seen a lot of touch screen stuff but this one interested me because it offers an interesting solution (?) to one of my main complaints with touch screen setups: the lack of a tactile sensation. As you can see it is a bit rough but for a demo I thought it was cool.
