Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar
Across a crowded floor, they worked from 8 till 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa….they fell in love
Copacabana is a suburb located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia, as part of the City of Gosford local government area.

The nation mourns for the many lives lost, the loss of loved ones, property, livelihood and the ghastly charred ruins of a once very scenic country-side Victoria. What a devastation! I have never experienced anything like this before… and even though I write this an easy 1,000 odd kilometres north of all this colossal devastation I can still clearly say that we are very sad and touched by this calamity. FLAGS will fly at half mast every February 7 in memory of those killed in the Victoria fires, and leaders told a memorial service that devastated towns will be rebuilt.

If you are a Camino user chances are you would have noticed at some point surely that photos on Camino look a little less flattering or dull when you use Camino as opposed to Firefox 3 or Safari or Omniweb. This is because the default colour enabling module built in Camino is by default turned off.
Here is a simple thing you can do to enable it and you’d notice a world of difference.

UPDATE: There is a ‘Do more with Labels” link as you log in on the top of your Gmail page that tell you about Auto-complete, move to Fast PDF previews, Tasks(new), Text messaging in Chat and Gmail on Android. So do check it out.
Hmmm, I remember checking my Gmail before I went to bed last night and deleted what I didn’t need in my account. And if you’re like me you’d like keeping your Inbox, Sent, Spam and Trash box squeaky clean. This ofcourse means you select your messages and then go to the drop down on top and select Delete….a bit of a round about way to delete mail… but to my surprise I saw Google had replaced the unfriendly drop-down with Buttons this morning. Nice! Here is a little write up about it by Gmail engineer, Emil A Eklund.
I tried it with Mailplane too and I can still see those quick buttons. Nice one Google. Doug Bowman wrote about the process on his blog. And as Google says:

Adding a little border, simple or exotic often adds a little love to even the dullest of all photos. You’ll almost immediate notice a difference when you see the same photo side by side with and without a border. Lately I have gotten on the ‘Frame my photo‘ bandwagon. And I must say the transition feels good. It feels better framed. No pun intended.
On flickr I usually put images that are of 500 pixels wide. In the past I’ve put images that are bigger but not anymore. Hence came the reason to make an action that was 500 pixels wide. I created 2 little actions for Flickr. They both scale your photos down to 500 px. One with black border and the other without.
Feel free to download the flickr 500 set (size 4kb) and put them to use on your flickr account or otherwise. They were created in PhotoShop CS4 and tested on Mac and Windows. Enjoy!
