Looking forward to my next trip to Europe, I am flying on Air Canada in Executive First Class for a change... hopefully I will get some good sleep all night long and be not as jet-lagged as usual.

For those who like to edit and show off their photos on the go, Adobe has released its Photoshop.com Mobile for the iPhone. Adobe favoring obfuscation in its product names, you may not be able to deduce from that it’s actually an iPhone app that interfaces with the company’s Photoshop.com online photo-storage site.
While it won’t quite match up to those (somewhat insane) people who want the full powers of the Mac version of Photoshop in an iPhone application, Photoshop.com Mobile does let you edit photos stored on your iPhone, adjusting qualities such as exposure, saturation, and tint as well as cropping, rotating, and flipping. In addition you can apply effects, such as pop art, vignette, sepia, and black & white. There are even multiple levels of undo/redo if you make a mistake.
When you’re done tweaking your photo to its desired state, you can upload your new picture to your Photoshop.com account. You can also view other pictures you’ve saved from your iPhone or computer.
Photoshop.com Mobile for iPhone is a free download and requires iPhone OS 2.0 or later. Photoshop.com offers free accounts with 2GB for free, but an account isn’t required to use the iPhone app.

HANDCRAFTED ARTISTRY! The design has been crafted in ultra-high relief, an exceptional level of sculpting that requires significant hand crafting and polishing. Slight inconsistencies in the quality of the surface are normal for this ultra-high relief process. Second ever proof dollar struck in the ultra high relief long associated with ancient medallic art. Low mintage--only 5,000 coins worldwide
Theme: since time immemorial, the sun has been a powerful symbol for people throughout the world. It has also been a cornerstone in the culture of Canada's many First Nations communities, representing life, abundance, healing and peace. The sun was carved on masks and totem poles and is the symbol that currently crowns the world's tallest totem located in Alert Bay (British Columbia).
One First Nations legend recounts how Raven released the sun from a box. People believed the Sun Chief could be reached by climbing a chain of arrows, and that he descended from the sky each day by sliding down the sun's long rays.Mintage: Limited to 5000 coins worldwide Composition: 92.5% silver, 7.5% copper Finish: Frosted relief on a proof-like field Weight: (g)30.0 Diameter: (mm)36.15 Edge: Plain Certificate: Serialized Face value: 1 dollar Artist: Xwa lack tun (Rick Harry) (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse)
Amazon.com will start shipping an international version of its Kindle e-book reader Monday to 100 countries, but not Canada.
The new e-reader will sell for $279 US and will be sold to customers outside of the U.S., in countries such as the U.K., Australia, Japan, India and Germany.
A message on the Amazon.com website reads: "Unfortunately, we are currently unable to ship Kindles or offer Kindle content in Canada. We are working to make Kindle available to our Canadian customers as soon as possible."
A spokesperson for Amazon refused to say why the device is not being made available in Canada.
The international edition of the Kindle will be able to download content wirelessly over AT&T's international cellphone network. The U.S. version connects to Sprint's network, and international users must connect the reader to a computer via USB to download e-books.
The Kindle will be available in some countries, such as the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sri Lanka, without wireless support.
Amazon also cut the cost of the U.S. Kindle to $259. The device, which has a 15-centimetre screen that displays in shades of grey, debuted in 2007 at $399.
Amazon is trying to stay competitive in an increasingly crowded e-reader market. The Kindle currently has 60 per cent of the U.S. market, according to a Forrester Research report, and Sony has 35 per cent.
Sony's Reader is available in Canada, as is its smaller Reader Pocket Edition and its larger touch-screen version. None of them can connect wirelessly, although Sony announced that it would begin selling the Reader Daily Edition in the U.S. in December.
The Daily Edition will connect to the AT&T network. No Canadian launch date has been announced.
