Here are two quick examples from random images below. Obviously you may want to increase your canvas size to create white space around the image if you don't like the full bleed look. Note that you can define a custom dimensions for your slide show, so it doesn't have to be a standard screen dimension but could match the actual aspect ratio of a book size from Blurb (which I've done in my examples in case I want to print it). You can also choose the background color of the slide show as seen by the white and black versions below.

Easy PDF from Images for SoFoBoMo Using PSE 6
I've seen plenty of talk about ways to concatenate images into a single PDF for SoFoBoMo. So I thought I'd add yet another way. If your plan is to create an online publication on Issuu from a PDF file and you already own a copy of Photoshop Elements v6, you can simply output a slide show in PDF format and import it into Issue. Presto! Done.

New Album from the Hip
U2, Bruce Cockburn, now the Hip comes out with a new album. What a great couple of months it has been for someone with my music collection. I just started listening.
U2 by U2 a Great Read
Although I'm a huge U2 fan I was still incredibly surprised at how much I enjoyed the book. I found their approach and the group dynamic described incredibly interesting.
Definitely worth the money if you're a fan.
Their is also plenty of interesting photography much of which is from Anton Corbijn.
"Anton Corbijn was a person whose own vision would seriously impact the band's. His pictures are often very monumental, whereas the band certainly were not. We were very stoic, it was a very aesthetic time, Anton took pictures that looked like the music rather than the musicians." - Bono

Bruce Cockburn - Slice O Life - Solo Live

I just noticed thanks to "My Rhapsody Artist Alerts" that Bruce Cockburn has released a new live solo album. I'm only on track three and will let you know what I think later, but so far it is wonderful. It has 25 tracks.
Very few artists excite you by not bringing a band on the road, but Bruce Cockburn is one of them. Not unexpectedly the guitar playing is magical.
