Earn Thousands Of Pogo Tokens and Hour

You can earn an amazing 20,000 to 40,000 Pogo tokens an hour (maybe even more if you are really quick) by playing the Hidden Object Game, Clue Secrets and Spies puzzle game on the Pogo online games website. This way of obtaining a huge amount of tokens is perfectly legit. There is no cheating or automated software used here. You can do this yourself by playing the first episode or level of Clue Secrets & Spies. First off there is a catch to this. You will have to master at finding all the objects in the game first until you memorize where they are just like the back of your hand. This also includes the side by side differences puzzle at the end of the episode of the game. Be warned that this could become boring but if you love to play for lots of tokens in a short amount of time, this will do it. When you become quick enough the first full episode of the game should take less than five minutes to complete rewarding you with a massive payout of over 4,000 tokens. Forget the spinner jackpot though. It seems to only turn out less than 100 tokens most of the time in this game. Now lets hope that Pogo doesn't alter the token payout of the game knowing that the tokens are relatively quick and easy to obtain from the game.

Good Old Photoshop 7

Everyone has heard of Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop is the most powerful bitmap graphics editor on the market. The latest versions of Photoshop available have powerful features that are a must for any graphic artist and or photographer. This does come at a pretty price however. If one is able to sacrifice a few simple pleasures in life just to be able to obtain a copy of a superb graphics program then all the more power in the hands of the beholder. There are earlier versions of Photoshop that are obtainable through sites such as Ebay and Amazon at a much cheaper price. A few years ago it was relatively easy to purchase or bid on a copy of Photoshop 7 at a fraction of the cost of the newer versions of the Photoshop CS family. Just recently I have noticed that even the older version of Photoshop has become increasingly difficult to find. The odd time one can find a decent price on a copy on Ebay but this requires a constant lookout as new items are posted all the time. If one is lucky enough to spot a copy of Photoshop 7 for instance, then it is best to grab it right away because it will go fast. Even today the software still maintains it value although it is almost a ten year old program that has long been upgraded numerous times.

Nintendo Wii, Donkey Kong Country Returns

Just recently we purchased the Nintendo Wii. It was a heck of a deal at 149.99 with the Mario game included.  We also purchased a few more games in addition. One of my favorites is the Donkey Kong Country Returns. It is extremely fun and very challenging! Thank God, the game has a guide that will help you out if you get stuck on a level. This is an even more difficult version of this game in comparison to the older Donkey Kong versions. There are some levels such as Tidal Terror and most of Level 4 with the mine cart and barrel ride that can be extremely tough to beat without having to die a zillion times.  Even some of the letters are almost seemingly unaccessible without Mr. Kong having to drop many lives before successs.  This game will perhaps keep one entertained for days or perhaps even months.  Now, I don't claim to be a pro player myself but I would suspect that even pro game players would find this game very challenging. The game is definitely worth every penny if one enjoys a super challenge of a video game. This is a a must for any fan of Donkey Kong to add to their collection.

Create Ebooks For Little Or No Money

Have you ever wanted to create ebooks but could not afford the very expensive Adobe Acrobat Professional. The free alternative is Scribus. Scribus is an open source desktop publishing program that allows you to write ebooks. It takes a little getting use to but has lots of features to make a decent book. I've tested this software but not to its full extent but from what I have seen it is actually much easier than using my older version of Adobe Indesign.
The other alternative to Adobe Acrobat is a PDFill Pdf Editor. This program has a ton of features as well as some freebies. The program only costs $20.00 which is a mere fraction of the cost of the Adobe Acrobat Professional. I highly recommend this program. Once you register the program you will have free upgrades for life which is a bonus.
Don't get me wrong. I like the Adobe products very much. However, it is very expensive to keep up with upgrades to Adobe products in addition that all the Adobe software is costly to begin with. Adobe does have a fairly generous trial period of thrity days where you can try out the latest version of Photoshop, Indesign and so forth.
Another good source to seek out inexpensive software for creation of ebooks is Download.com. Open Office is also able to export documents as a pdf booklet.

Classic Yahtzee

One of my all time favorite games is Yahtzee. Yahtzee consists of using five dice, score sheets, and a dice cup. It is a very simple game to learn and a lot of fun. Yahtzee is played with one or more players. The goal of the game is to obtain the highest score by rolliing ones to six, three and four of a kind, full house, straights, chance and Yahtzee. All that is required is some basic math skills and hand- eye coordination. Even at that the dice are surely to fall in some scorable numerlogical pattern. Well, at least most of the time, anyway. There is a momentary suspension of the rolling and clattering sound of dice just before and as they fall. Yahtzee!


Yahtzee is a great game for families to spend quality time. On an individual basis it is a stress reliever and a good pasttime for those boring or rainy days. Yahtzee can be played hands on, or on the computer. Pogo.com has an excellent Yahtzee game called Yahtzee Party. There are also free and paid versions of Yahtzee that can be downloaded from the internet. One such free version of a Yahtzee game is All Five XP

Shape Up With Photoshop



Photoshop is an awesome piece of software. You can do just about anything with this program. One of my favorite tools is this the shape tool. You can design any shape imaginable. The pattern tool is pretty cool too. This allows me to create abstract compositions that come in many interesting styles. It is also worthy to note that you can also create many shapes from one shape. The pattern tool will randomly generate various sorts of patterns. The possibilities are limitless. You can add filters and effects for unique pieces of artwork.


I mentioned earlier in a previous post that I preferred Photoshop to the Gimp. The Gimp lacks a decent shaping tool. Photoshop has more than enough for most peoples needs in a photo editing program.


I have included some shape and pattern samples that have been created in Photoshop





There are many sites on the internet where you can obtain Photoshop shapes and patterns for free or paid. Pay special attention to copyrighted works and their usages. The best satisfaction comes from creating your own. So go give it a whirl. You will surprise yourself. Don't forget to check this site out for some photoshop freebies.
