Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury

The Foundation Trilogy - Isaac Asimov

Dune - Frank Herbert

Stranger in a Strange Land - Robert A. Heinlein

1984 - George Orwell

I just bought this for my dad for his birthday. This might be the last thing on earth he needs, but he fuckin deserves it.

I have $50 in book store gift cards and am having trouble trying to figure out what to buy with them. 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 are both on my list also, but I could find those in any library. Same problem with Fitzgerald's, "This Side of Paradise."

Anyway, what I want but possibly don't need is Adobe Photoshop. Any version that's come out in the last 7-8 years would be fine. Paint has its purpose but I have hilarious ideas from time to time that absolutely require photoshop so I just abandom them. The fact that I'm the Smee of software pirating doesn't really help.

You can buy movies with book store gift cards, but there are also some sweet graphic novels available ie. Walking Dead, Watchmen, Sin City, etc.

Blonde should be able to help you with some photoshop if you ask him nicely.

I've tried this before with blonde I think and it ended very lacklustery. BLONDE PLEASE HELP ME!

If you like science fiction, I highly suggest

-Enders Game
-Ender's Shadow
-Shadow of the Hegemon
-Speaker for the Dead

in that order, and

-Foundation
-Foundation and Empire
-Second Foundation

paint.net is a pretty close substitute for photoshop that is free to download.

Yep. For 99% of basic stuff you need to do it does pretty damn well.

ninjaface · 01-06-2011, 05:38 PM

I haven't heard of paint.net. I have GIMP. It's free. Sounds pretty similar, though. I am accustomed to Photoshop and Illustrator, but GIMP does most of what I need it to do. GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program

Microwave

Mr. Blonde · 03-10-2011, 01:07 AM

That particular microwave, or a microwave in general?

That microwave is pretty nice for how cheap it is, though.

Saint DH · 03-10-2011, 01:33 AM

That one in particular. It has a toaster oven beneath it. Yeah, it's not very expensive, and I could afford it. But seeing as how I already have a working microwave, it just seems impractical.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 03-10-2011, 01:44 AM

WHOA THERE look at blonde, mr. moneybags.

A microwave better have a retractable dildo attached to it at that price.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
