Well, I was notified by WeShow.com that my lightsaber screencast was selected for a WeShow award. I’m not sure what this means exactly. It might mean that I have to share the $3 that I won with Richard. Just kidding. I would never share that kind of money with him. He’d blow it on fancy cars and fine wine anyway. No sir. I’ll be keeping this $3 for myself.

Details below:

P.S. Has anyone heard of WeShow? I hadn’t until today.
P.P.S. I didn’t actually win $3.

My latest Episode 030 has been uploaded to screencasters.heathenx.org. In this screencast I demonstrate how to make chrome text. I had found several ways to make things chrome and it all depended on how much time I wanted to spend on it. There are so many ways to illustrate a chrome surface. My way is not completely accurate but it looks close enough.
