I have recently become interested in Infrared Photography and I had a bit of trouble finding good ways to post-process my IR photos. So, here is my method to editing those starkly 'red/magenta' photographs :) !

In this tutorial we use the brush engine to come up with an abstract wallpaper effect with colorful swooshes that look like they are electric.

Recently we analysed the online financial behaviour of Singapore Internet users, and found an increase during the first quarter of 2010 in search queries around financial needs, including searching for properties to buy and to rent, mortgages, loans, savings and credit cards.

In particular we found strong growth in property searches for sale and rent in Singapore reflecting high property demand and price growth. Interest in the stock market, reflected by search behaviour, cooled in comparison to the property market.

Here were our financial search portfolios comparing Q1 of 2010 to the same time last year:

* A peak in property for sale searches in early March 2010 reflects expected new price highs in 2010.

The best ways any webmaster or marketer can better connect their site and content with Google.

We have the power to bestow our abilities onto the things around us. By being conscious of our tools, habits, and spaces, and actively conditioning them to help us behave the way we want to behave, maybe we can more efficiently tap into the thousands of hours of creative genius embedded in our everyday objects.

And, just maybe, we’ll remember what it feels like to be utterly engrossed in our daily work.
