Get a deal on the new version
of Photoshop Elements

Adobe Photoshop Elements is the slightly dumbed-down version of Adobe Photoshop CS5 -- which can cost as much as $999.

I started with version 2, and buy every second or third version.

The new version of Elements is version 9, and Adobe sells it for $99.99, less a $20 rebate.

Amazon.com sells it for $79.99.

BestBuy sells different packages for $149.99 and $99.99.

Costco sells it for $79.99 less a $30 rebate from their website, until 11/28.

I paid $79.99 in a Costco "club" -- but the deal included up to 100 free 4 X 6-inch digital prints. Prints are ordered by PC, and picked up in a store. The normal cost is 13 cents per print, so if you want to have prints made you save $13. That's not as good as the online price, but better than the prices at BestBuy, Amazon or Adobe.

Apparently, Staples will be selling version 9 for $49.99 on Black Friday.

MICHAEL'S BLOGS (some are no longer being updated)

Worldwide Penis News covers serious and humorous penile developments.

It's Too Easy To Get Pregnant reports on some of the tragedies caused by people who should not be parents.

BookMakingBlog is where Michael discusses writing, editing, design, publishing, language, culture,
politics and sometimes other things.

My Final Quarter-Century Above Ground is an appropriately irreverent blog about dying and death.

I never did it, was never arrested for it, never tried for it, and never convicted of it tells the story of Michael's horrible and damaging harassment, and his response.

911 Wackos provides a look at weird 911 calls and callers.

Letters to April Wong is a collection of ridiculous and scam emails sent to a person who does not exist.

For The First Time (or the last time) talks about changes in society and technology: first toilet paper, last convertible, first voice mail, last Automat, first female leader of Boy Scout troop, etc.

Oh, how stupid! provides an an occasional look at some of the stupidest things done by human beings.

Gotta Get One recommends and criticizes electronics, food, cars, cameras, tools, movies and more.

About my typing errors

I frequently criticize errors in books, and some readers have complained about my own lack of perfection. Even though I often go over my blog posts 10, 20, 30 or more times, they are not immune to errors. There is no excuse, but there are several reasons. (1) I'm getting old. (2) The spell checker in Blogger is terrible. (3) I have neither the time nor the budget to hire an editor for a daily blog, which I normally start writing at about 3:30 a.m. (4) Books and commercial websites (especially publishers' and authors' websites) should be held to a higher standard than daily blogs. (5) I'm getting old. Oh. Did I say that before?
