In this documentary, the founders of Adobe Photoshop – John Knoll, Thomas Knoll, Russell Brown, and Steve Guttman – tell the story of how an amazing coincidence of circumstances, that came together at just the right time 20 years ago, spawned a cultural paradigm shift unparalleled in our lifetime.

Scott Bourne from Photofocus is doing it again. This month he’ll give away another Drobo to one of his lucky Twitter followers. There are a few other ways to win so check out Scott’s personal site for more details.

Never heard of Drobo? The company behind this amazing product have put together a demonstration video to show you the power of this technological wonder.

Save the Dates cards are a wonderful way to generate excitement and, most importantly, allow your loved ones plenty of time to make arrangements to share in your special day. Especially important for friends and family who will be traveling to your wedding location, Save the Dates encourage travelers to take advantage of travel deals, book flights, and make any other necessary plans sooner than later.

If your wedding date falls on or around any holidays, or if it’s taking place at a popular vacation or destination spot, you should consider sending out your Save the Dates at least five months in advance. In these situations, your guests will likely be thinking of your event as a vacation and will appreciate having the time and information to plan accordingly.

When should Save the Dates be sent?

Think of your Save the Date cards as a preliminary invitation to your wedding. They should be sent at least four months before the wedding date. Your wedding invitations should follow about two months later.

If you are asking guests to travel a great distance, take time off work, or travel during peak seasons, the sooner you can let them know the better! In these circumstances, it’s not uncommon to send Save the Date announcements as much as twelve months in advance.

Tip: Call your local firehouse or volunteer firefighters. They may be willing to visit your home during the party, or give the children a tour of their station house and a fire truck. Many fire districts have programs already in place where the children will learn fire safety, try on uniforms, receive stickers and coloring books.
