Ok, so this isn’t a crisis like the Earthquake in China, and it certainly won’t make the front page of the New York Times, but here at EliHorne.com I get to focus on the little things that make me say “WTF.”
I’m not sure exactly when, but at some point in the last week (I think), [...]

Google, What the eff?

I think I just found a new favorite site
A blog entirely devoted to spotting and cataloging bizarre Photoshop accidents in the wild.
PhotoShopped (or “Photoshopd”) is run by someone obviously in the industry with a superior knowledge of the mega-bucks image editing app we all love to hate.
Some of my favorite include:Mutant 3rd hands
Missing heads
Ann Coulter (need I say more?)
Issues with the “time-space continuum”
Everyone’s [...] -
Finally, Google Address Book API
One of the biggest traffic drivers to my site is the ever confounding blackberry on a mac situation. People search for many things like “why does pocketmac suck,” “please help my poor, stupid blackberry” and “why is eli so awesome with blackberries” only to get brought to this site. Well, the last one [...]

What a link from Shaun Inman looks like
Back in September I spotted something fishy over at desktoptopia, and managed to get a link from Shaun Inman. While the whole situation resolved itself quickly and easily (see: the resolution), the most interesting thing was to see the traffic commanded by a web presence like Mint’s creator.
Through my intermittent posting on this site, [...] -
10 ways to spot a flash designer
I’m probably going to get flamed over this, but what the hell. Here I present in no particular order my top 10 ways to spot a Flash designer. (Disclaimer: Hey, I started with flash too. It’s just, some of us decide to grow up eventually.)
Thinks tiny unreadable text is a bonus. [...]

Dissecting Microsoft’s attack on Google Apps
Disclosure: I’m a huge Google fanboy. I use all their betas on a daily basis, and feel like they can do no wrong. I have no qualms with their data rentention policies, and will continue to trust them until the day the government successfully subpoenas account information, at which point I will [...]

Streamy revisited ( … yes, with invites)
I’ve been in and out of Streamy for the past couple weeks, not being able to devote sufficient time to really explore it. Today I set aside a couple hours and decided to pour through its feature set.
Although I mentioned its positioning to Digg in my last post, it’s nice to get confirmation from [...] -
10 mission critical WordPress plugins
Over the past 3 years, I’ve become VERY well versed in the ways of WordPress. I’m not embarassed to admit that when I first began, I was heavily dependent on hacking up existing themes like Kubrick (Hell, this is how I learned about the great Michael Heileman), and I couldn’t make heads or tails [...]

How to get the most out of your Blackberry on a mac
Despite my most recent rant, I’m still a big fan of RIM’s tiniest creation, the Blackberry Pearl. On top of that, even though the last time I wrote a real tutorial was MONTHS ago, those keywords still drive the majority of my search engine traffic. Some of the software I’m going to talk [...]

Virb (see: myspace killer)
I’ve been aware of virb ever since I heard that Breaker Design signed over to Unborn Media. For those unfamiliar with UM, they are the brains behind PureVolume, The Big Noob and other cool stuff yet to be unveiled. It wasn’t until last night when I found a screenshot of the virb backend [...]
