Here are some really nifty Fabric textures that you can use.. I personally love these textures! I love textures that you see in your everyday life but not so much online.. for example cardboard, wood and Fabric! I’d love to make a web site with a cardboard texture someday. Right now www.Divegeekdesigns.com is using one of these Fabric textures for the background. Do you like? and personally I think it turned out sweet. If you recently design something using a nifty texture, please feel free to post a comment with a link to it. I’d love to check it out. Plus consider it free marketing for your new project! My site may not be www.Mashable.com but it’s far from slacking either. Design it and Post it up!
Here's a list of Open Source/GNU alternatives to all those programs that us poor people just can't afford to buy but that we desperatly need...
Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.
Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha blending, etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined interface. It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path operations, trace bitmaps and much more. We also aim to maintain a thriving user and developer community by using open, community-oriented development. Download Here.

I've been doing some research online tonight for a FREE alternative for Photoshop - my Photoshop installation recently became corrupt (no clue how but it might have something to do with the fact it was cracked..um yeh) Call me evil, I just call me poor.
Anyway, I can't seem to completly uninstall Photoshop and so it won't allow me to re-install it... and since Photoshop cost about USD $649 per copy... I'll most likely be using an alternative until I can format my hard drive.
Anyway, I can not work with out some type of imaging software. Period. I'll let you know which one I decide on.
