New Image Search Results for Feature Phones
New Image Search Results for Feature Phones: "Earlier this year, we launched new Image Search results for iPhone and Android-powered devices. Since then, we've rolled out the new format to iPhone and Android in 28 countries. Now, the new Image Search results pages are also available for most other phones in 38 languages.
The image results are tightly packed, making optimal use of the screen space on your phone and allowing you to scan eight to fourteen images on a single results page. Clicking an image leads to a details page, which not only shows a larger thumbnail, but also lets you either visit the web page hosting the image or view the image itself in full size. Moreover you can navigate the search results using 'next' and 'previous' links. These features are designed to make browsing and searching for images on your phone easier and faster.
How to use Image Search:
1. Go to google.com and click on “Images.”
2. Do a search query. The results page shows related images, clicking on an image loads the details page.
3. The image details page shows a larger thumbnail and links to the original website and image. You could also navigate to other results using 'Next Image' link.

Collaborate on Picasa Web Albums
I use Picasa quite a bit with storing graphics and sharing images with friends so thought this was interesting:
After a recent trip to Yosemite, I was frustrated to see my traveling companions share their photos in three different online albums on three different photo-sharing sites. What we really needed was a single album to which everyone could add their photos. Google Docs makes collaborating on documents easy. Why not try a similar idea with photos? Starting today, every album on Picasa Web Albums is potentially collaborative: multiple people can add pictures to the same album.
To make an album collaborative, sign in to Picasa Web Albums and add contributors. Just click the 'Share' button, add contributors, and leave the 'Let people I share with contribute photos' checkbox selected.
You can also manage access for contributors you've added to the 'Shared with' list by toggling the 'plus' icon next to their name – when the plus icon is green they can add photos.
Contributors will need to log in to Picasa Web Albums with their Google Account to add photos. When they visit your collaborative album, they just need to click the 'Add Photos' button to start uploading.
Contributors' photos will be attributed to them, and they can rotate, delete, or add captions to the pictures they've uploaded.

Lovell Industries 3D Logo
I had tons of fun building this logo. Had to learn to master Adobe Illustrator CS3's 3D modeling engine to get it looking just right. The client later requested that the color palette of a sister company's logo was used which was gold and purple which came out ok but I still prefer this variation.
