Ima Let You Finish – Immortalizing Kanye West

Even if you didn’t watch the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, you’ve probably heard about the actions taken by Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech. Kanye exhibited an absolutely negative level of class or respect during the event. Now there’s a website that will help him forever be immortalized for his actions.

Now, with the Ima Let You Finish website you can playfully interrupt anyone else you’d like with your own version of Kanye’s efforts. You can download a cutout of Kanye interrupting Taylor’s performance and add it to your own graphic or video to have some fun.

A friend of mine made this graphic after last week’s Indianapolis Colts win over the Miami Dolphins.

As un-classy as Kanye was in his actions, Beyonce made up for it by inviting Taylor Swift to come back up and share her acceptance speech again; this time without interruption. How many people think this will be THE thing that Kanye will be forever remembered for above and beyond his music?

Rollip – Bringing Your Photos to Life in Polaroids

The death of Kodak producing "real" film anymore is a big loss for the way things used to be. Sure, digital cameras are amazing and let us do stuff with photos we haven’t been able to do before as consumers. There was just something about the look of an old-school Polaroid that brought back memories.

We experienced a bit of the same thing with the death of vinyl albums. Sure CD’s were supposed to be indestructible and unscratchable, but there was still something about listening to audio with a bit of a hiss and crackle to it.

The Rollip website allows you to upload your digital photos and make them look like the old-school, vintage Polaroids. Not just look like them with the shape and border though that gives it the immediate memory, but also the faded, somewhat mis-colored image as well.

Relive a bit of history. Make your current photos look like classics from that family vacation when you were a kid.

Uncover your own, new photographic memories with Rollip.

All of Excel 2007 Toolbars

Here’s the 2nd post of all the toolbars in the Microsoft Office 2007 productivity suite. First I shared all of the toolbars from Microsoft Word 2007. In this post I’ll be sharing all of the toolbars from Microsoft Excel 2007.

I love the new ribbon interface that’s available in the Microsoft Office 2007 system. Part of the reason for that is that I wasn’t too much of an excessively experienced user of the various applications.

If you were an experienced user then you’ve probably spent time looking for one of the controls and features. Sometimes they’ve put them where you would expect them, other times you’re looking and looking until you finally find them in a toolbar that doesn’t quite make sense to most people.

Now you can see all the toolbars at once. Just click on the image below to see the full-sized version and all the toolbars at once.
