POPSCopy color palettes from old masters to your own photos Someone asked in a forum: "within the last 6 months or so, I came across a program (freeware) which claimed to let you make any of your images have the "look" of another image. In particular, if you had an image of say a Rembrandt painting, you could copy that look to one of your own images. No doubt photoshop experts can do that sort of thing, but I haven't got photoshop." The forum replies included a link to a great Photoshop tutorial and a image editing plug-in called Matrix ( panix.com ) that works with Irfanview and Paint Shop Pro.

POPSFree Games & Demos Want Your Reviews This is Donation Coder's review of a new website, "Play This Thing." You can just go straight to the Play website here: http://playthisthing.com/ I find it interesting that they will offer board games once a week, too.

POPS15 Firefox Add-ons Suggested Johnathan's is a blog about software. It's worth a skim through the Archives. From this article, I found several Firefox Add-ons that I will be trying, including: " * Tab Mix Plus – Adds a host of helpful options for displaying and managing tabbed pages. * ScrapBook – When you don’t have time to read everything, ScrapBook saves the entire Web page and its linked page (you choose the depth) for your future perusal. * Google Notebook – one of several competing add-ons that enable you to clip, collect, organize, and annotate Web pages or parts of them; essential for researchers." A Clipmarks competitor?

App is a programmer on whose website you will find a number of little free, useful apps. (Links on the left side of the above page.) On the Links page, you will find tons of links to spirit you away to all kinds of interesting places. Some of the link topics are: Favorite Software, Programming Links, Funny Programming Links, Other Funny Links, Useful Links, Fun & Games, and Just Plain Cool. Re-posted now that I have learned to clip better.

POPSFile under "Cuddly?" . .or just "Why?" They're Pee & Poo Pee and Poo plush toys and kids' clothes? That's just not right. I don't know why you would ever want to purchase plush toys in yellow and brown and named Pee and Poo, but should the urge ever hit you, here they are. Re-posted to add pix, now that I'm learning more about clipping.
