Linux Pepsi

Way back when I first installed RedHat 5 Linux Distro, I found GIMP and started playing around with it. This was the result. Free time is great!

 Unfortunately I lost the original Pepsi logo that I modified.

The Canon PowerShot SX1  has to be THE BEST digital camera that runs on AA batteries!  It might be big and chunky but the photos it can take are amazing.  So under this caterogy I will list all the best photos I have taken so far with this whiz-bang-ultra-super camera.
