Fireworks In-Class Assignment
This is my in-class Fireworks project. I used openphoto.net to find the pictures of the street, woman, man, and dog. I changed the opacity for the man, dog and the text. I have five layers total and I used several filters such as curves, sharpen, add noise, eye candy and levels to alter my images. I cropped the images using the polygonal lasso tool, the magic wand and the eraser. I then changed the arrangement of the layers and played with the filters and levels to alter my picture.

Google Creates "Mail Goggles" to Prevent Sending Drunk Emails
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/2008-10-07-google-mail-goggles_N.htm
This is probably the most hilarious thing Google has ever created. Basically it's a program that you put on your computer that won't let you send late night emails unless you can answer a series of questions, like math and such, to prove that you're not too drunk to send an email. That way you won't send a drunk email to your boss or ex or enemy...etc.
I think this would be a really useful and fun program especially for business people who don't want to accidentally send an email while intoxicate that they may regret later. Supposedly the questions are hard enough so that you shouldn't be able to answer them while drunk but easy enough that you would get them right while sober. It would be interesting to see how accurate and effective this program actually is. I think that some people can answer questions and function while intoxicated but maybe the majority of people won't be able to answer Google's questions while drunk. The idea is really cool and could be beneficial to those who tend to send drunk emails, but it will be interesting to see how the public reacts to this program.
