Last night upon a stair
I saw a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
He must be from the CIA
[Originally seen by me in Mad Magazine, too many years ago]
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

But am I me? Or is someone else typing this. There isn't even a photo that the 11/12 CPians who have met me face to face could verify is or isn't me.

... because if he hadn't typed it we would have assumed (known?) it was him, especially given his beer intake.

Blimey! I'd steer clear of that area if I were you - don't want to get mistaken for the other chap! Or his son.

A quick search on LinkedIn shows 141 people with your name in Australia. Some of them are "Mike Martin"s though.
That excludes the unlisted ones.

They don't count, must be Yanks sneaking in. All Aussies Michael's shorten to Mick.

Two month old blood stains still around... really classy people there.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

have you never seen CSI they can see minute traces of blood from decades earlier, its a bit like how they can "zoom in" on a single pixel and "enhance the image" to reveal vital info (car plate, text on a mobile or even the murderers face)
its science init

Yeah; but this was apparently reality not fantasy world...

They are really fair in CSI with "enhancing" : just saw two episodes yesterday in which it went:
- "Can you zoom more?"
- "This is the best I can do"
- "Oh, OK, so nothing of much help here".
This probably balances all the other improbable things they are always doing.

I read that this morning and wondered...

Hi, just ask any one who might have graphic design experience. Now I read this book Photoshop CS4 Digital Classroom[^]. Whether it is old version but it teach me very well.
When I completed it, I know how to use most of the tool in Photoshop.
But my question its: I need to find a book that teach me a tip or trick of combining the technique that I have learn to produce an attractive result (attractive graphic design)
Does this kind of book exist? If it is exist, please kindly suggestion me.
Thank,
Kanel

To be honest, I'm not sure anything like that exists. There are a lot of books, tutorials and so forth that will teach you how to use the tools - like the one you have just read - but putting those tools to use requires aptitude, ability, skill, and experience - and I'm not convinced that any of those can be taught.
What you are asking is the equivalent of learning to use a paint brush to do water colours, and looking for a book on how to paint the Mona Lisa, or Constables "The Hay Wain"
There are tutorials and suchlike on Google[^] - but how much use they will be is entirely open to debate. If I'm honest, most good developers are rubbish graphics designers!
If you do find a book or tutorial that does teach you to do it well, please post it here - there are a lot of people here who need to read it (including me).

Disclaimer: Not the straight answer to your question, but:
If you're looking for an attractive UX (user experience) rather than just an attractive graphic design, then this[^] may be a good start. Never mind that it is for an Android device; look for the concepts rather than techniques.

We know a song about that, don't we?
I've actually said that several times during meetings, using the same vocal tones.
