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

2009 03 29_D70_0752 Originally uploaded by The Lens Mount 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. http://brucecockburn.com/discography/slice-o-life/
