This is how I spend my Friday nights when I am home!
If it’s one thing my family knows how to do, its throw a party and just
enjoy each others company and laughter. It’s rather difficult to
turn down a family hang out because it’s packed with loads of random
excitement especially with kids zipping all over the place. HAPPY
10th BIRTHDAY ADALINETonight was my first time in my aunt and uncles gorgeous new
house! I really liked what they did with the place but it’s still
a work in progress according to my uncle but so far it looks
awesome! I can’t help to think about how I’d like to design or
decorate my house one day, yeah it probably doesn’t sound to manly but I
don’t care too much. I actually have a lot of fun thinking about
it evolving new ideas in my head about it.So I’ve been wanting to buy some Chuck Taylor’s and I went to the
Converse website and stumbled upon the option of creating your very own
custom All Star shoe. Hecka Cool I
get to design my own shoe for the first time, sounds pretty cool eh?
You can choose a huge selection of colors, patterns, stitching color,
sole color, shoe tongue color; you can even choose to have two sides of
the shoe in different colors! Basically you can make one crazy
ass shoe hahaha! If you don’t believe me go and see for
yourself. Converse.Does anyone know how to print a signature on a digital photo without it being blurry like mine?

wow it seems like someone was watchingnsomething for the first time. hehe yay for macs!!!!
i love hanging out with my family too! =)
Regarding the signature, I might have to get back to you on that. The easy solution is to adjust your JPEG compression ratio so that either the quality is higher or the compression is less. JPEG compression is effective in making small file sizes because it uses abnormal shapes such as fractals which when used in complex imagery cannot be distinguished by the human eye. However when you are dealing with thin and sharp lines such as a signature, this does not turn out well and so-called quantanization occurs and you get the blurry artifact effect. By decreasing compression thus increasing filesize you allow the JPEG compressor more leeway to spend more bits on those complicated regions. Lossless compression such as PNG would be a solution but not optimal for photographs, better for graphics. more on wikipedia >>howard
