The work of artist-photographer Robbie Lacomb is currently on display at Austin’s Alpha & Omega Fine Art Photography Gallery as part of the 2009 Gathering of Photographers Group Show.  The exhibition will remain on show through the end of January 2010.

Photographer, digital artist and printmaker Robbie Lacomb resides and works in East Texas and teaches art and art history at Angelina College in Lufkin. She exhibits her prints and photographs in the U.S. and abroad, including Morocco, Ireland, Russia and Paris, France. In the year 2000 she served as Artist in Residence to the Tangier American Legation Museum in Morocco. In 2006 she lectured at Oxford University, England, in a Science and Art round-table. At Angelina College, she received the 2007-08 nomination for Piper Foundation Award for teaching and academic achievement. Lacomb’s artwork is most influenced by nature and mankind’s place in the natural world. Her work reflects this relationship, which is sometimes adversarial, sometimes symbiotic. Revealing the miracles of nature, which are often perceived by humans to be ugly or dirty, is a goal of the artist in her work.

The 2009 Gathering Of Photographers Fall Group Show is on display  at the Alpha & Omega Fine Art Photography Gallery in Austin, Tx. through the end of January 2010.

As a designer, I often find myself having to manage content and graphics for my clients' new blog.  I have to approach this with great care because, I admit it, my typing is abominable. Copy-Paste is my sword, my shield, my friend.

I was recently mocking up a book cover for a client and i had to change the case of the title (as provided in an email) from Sentence Case to UPPERCASE. Easy enough when using MS Word but not so easy in Mail.

Luckily I ran across a website called UpperCaseIt.com.

This site will transform any text into  uppercase, lowercase, or sentence case. It will also flip the text upside down, reverse the order of the words or reverse the letters, remove all spaces, convert the text to braille, morse code or even SEO friendly urls. It can also URL-encode, URL-decode, and even encrypt using a simple cypher known as rot13 ("rotate by 13 places").

The result text can be copy-pasted into just about any application: an e-mail, word doc, powerpoint or photoshop.

Definitely on my wishlist: This universal remote  is able to control almost anything normally controlled by an infrared remote. It learns from almost any existing infrared remote control and has 13 buttonless functions triggered by waving the wand in varying motions.

A flick of the wrist and Abracadabra! Channel's changed.

Don't miss their website- its a hoot.
