With just under three hours to go in our 24-hour blogathon, it’s critical to remember to stretch and move to maintain flexibility and alertness. Whether you have chosen Track A (alcoholic) or Track B (bore) routes to your Blogathon experience, at this point you should be capable of running through several of the following yoga poses as you are waiting for your post to upload.

Well, Blogathon IS supposed to be for a good cause. Sure, I’m raising money for the Federation of BC Writers by posting 48 (or so) posts in a 24 hour period, but there’s no rule against my doing that by supporting the excellent cause of the noble and endangered Pacific Tree Octopus, of which we have spoken movingly before.

From the industry leaders who brought you Worth1000, which is surely worth more than that even in a depressed market, comes the remarkable new Crane image suite. A fully tactile image manipulation experience, Crane replicates many of the most popular features of traditional, “online” image editing tools such as Adobe Photoshop and CorelDraw.
For example, to draw in Crane, simply place the Pencil Tool between your index finger and thumb (located on your dominant hand). Press the tip of the Pencil Tool down onto your canvas and using controlled strokes, you will be able to simulate the act of digital drawing on your canvas. The Pencil Tool is entirely pressure sensitive meaning the harder you press down on the Pencil, the darker your strokes will appear on the paper, just as if you were using a real Wacom drawing tablet…
To save your creation, follow these instructions:
Step 1. Do not throw your creation into the garbage can.
I heartily recommend Crane, the only fully paper-based, meatspace-compatable, wireless and webless image suite, available now from the fine people at Aviary.
Mobile Version
Coming soon, for the artist on the go, we are currently working around the clock to complete Crane Mobile, our mobile version of the image editor.

Longtime readers will know that we at the ol’ raincoaster blog accept no mere whispers; gossip is to us as the obscene fingerings of the first filthy breeze of the approaching sandstorm. No, we are all about the scientific proof here at Operation Global Media Domination HQ.
Thus we pass along the following, conclusive proof of the Great Meerkat Conspiracy, the obscene worldwide plot to banish Fairies from the face of the Earth and seize control of the barrows for their own nefarious meerkattarian purposes. What was once only whispered may now be forwarded to CNN (appropriately link-credited, please!).

I know we’ve discussed this before, mostly on Twitter and in the Anti-Fairy Conspiracy comments, but NEVER turn your back on a meerkat. They’ll rip your throat out as soon as look at you, and if they know you’re onto them, there is no end to their wicked, weasely wiles.
