Design Resources
You should always refer back to my site on a regular basis when looking for these tutorial/help sites. Here's a site I found that collects design resources (Quark, PhotoShop, Illustrator, etc.). Some of the links at this site I've already captured on my site. What's neat about this site is that they also have links to forums to discuss specific applications. You might want to browse the forums when you have nothing better to do, as it's a good way of finding tips & tricks, as well as little web gems that may be useful in the future. Remember to use the search function on my site when you're looking for old stuff that may have been removed from my main page. (I think the search still works.)
The first chef
First came fire ... and then, as the camera shifts to the soon to be late-village idiot, you're left wondering -- just what was going through that mind -- and food is put on the fire, for the first time, and cooking is accidentally discovered by humanity. The first chef is ridiculed by grunts, then the local thug tries a sample of the burnt carcass, and soon, everybody gets queued at the McDonalds drive-thru. What happened? Richard Wrangham of Harvard believes there's more to cooking than evolutionary history would have you believe. Wrangham points out that there is no way homo sapiens could survive on just raw food. Raw food just doesn't give up calories as easily as cooked food -- and raw food makes the digestive system expend more energy to get at those calories. Cooking on the other hand breaks complex molecules down, allowing the digestive system to make easy work of them -- and cooking also softens food, allowing the body to get to the calories with less effort...
