Adobe Transient Witticisms is the name coined for an Easter egg appearing in several versions of Adobe Photoshop. The easter egg can be viewed by accessing the alternate splash screen (in Mac OS this involves holding down the "command" key while choosing "About Photoshop" in the application menu; in Windows, hold Ctrl) and then option-clicking in the white space immediately above the scrolling credits. After the credits scroll through completely, the witticisms appear as a series of phrases in that particular spot. Holding down the option key makes the witticisms come faster as well as making the credits scroll more quickly.
The witticisms first appeared in Photoshop 3.0 and are said to be the idea of engineer Kevin Johnston, who recorded humorous sayings from the other engineers on the project and inserted them into the program code for posterity.
Traditionally, the witticisms include a list of "The Top Ten Signs the Engineering Team Has Been Working Too Hard," which changes from version to version, and end with the phrase, "The funny bits are done.", with the exception of Photoshop 7.0.1, which does not include this phrase, but ends after the "The Top Ten Signs the Engineering Team Has Been Working Too Hard". In Classic versions of Mac OS, the entire contents of the witticisms can be found in Photoshop's resource fork.
In Photoshop 7.0.1 there are also humorous comments in the scrolling credits, including a reference to the licence holder as their favorite customer at the end.
The ArtGardens of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA is an outdoor gallery of installation art where the medium of the art is growing plants. Bringing garden installations together at one venue is unique to The ArtGardens, which aims to promote gardening as a contemporary art genre.
The ArtGardens is conceived and developed by Stephane Flom at Frank Curto Park, a highly visible public green space along Bigelow Boulevard in Pittsburgh. The park runs for one mile along a well-traveled roadway near downtown. Although the gardens in this phase are viewed primarily from the road, the goal is to introduce this art concept to the public and build interest and support for the development of a larger venue that will allow the public to stroll intimately among the installations.
Artists are invited through a curatorial process. Garden artists include environmental artists, artists who garden, artists who work with growing plant materials, community gardeners, and backyard gardeners. While sculptural forms may be introduced, growing plant materials must be used as the primary medium. Generally the installations will be on the scale of an average backyard garden. Some gardens may only span a season; others may require maintenance plans for multiple seasons.
In the summer of 2002 artists Lily Yeh and Daniel Ladd created the inaugural installations at Frank Curto Park. In 2003, Stephanie Flom and Delanie Jenkins made additional ArtGarden installations.
The ArtGardens is a part of The Persephone Project, a resident program of the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry at Carnegie Mellon University and an activity of the Tides Center of Western Pennsylvania.
Doug Lee is a Canadian poker player from Calgary, Alberta.
Lee is a 25-year-old real estate investor from Calgary, Alberta (Canada). His nickname is the "Canadian Super Bomber" because of his relentless attacking style of play at the poker table. Lee holds a college degree in marketing and is currently single. His most notable poker accomplishment, thus far, has been first and second place finishes at major tournaments in Canada. However, Lee lists this World Series of Poker Circuit tournament as his "favorite poker memory," because it has given him a chance to play with so many top pros.
He won $695,970 for first place in the 2005 World Series of Poker circuit event at Rio Las Vegas, defeating Jennifer Harman in the final heads-up confrontation.
Since then he has made a final table at both the World Series of Poker (WSOP) and another circuit event.
