Another month, another imagedump! Here's a small collection of the best, funniest or coolest images from May 2008.

Don't forget to check out part 2 that will be released later this month. Enjoy!

Time for all those Photoshop lovers out there to follow another tutorial. This time, we'll learn how to present technology gadgets in a superb, grungy way. I was inspired by the artwork from Eric Oosterhof and wanted to created something looking just as amazing as that.

My PSD file was too big to put to download because of the smart objects (26 MB), but you can download a wallpaper pack containing my final result in high resolution in 3 different sizes (320x480 (iPhone), 1440x900 (widescreen), 1600x1200 (normal)).

Michael from RetireAt21 released a list of top young bloggers under 21. I was pretty happy to hear that I made it to his list, but did't expect to get listed that high: I'm listed as number 2 top blogger under 21.

The full list contains 30 of the most top-ranked blogs by authors under the age of 21. Some of them are really great!

I would like to grab this chance to thank all you readers / visitors out there. Many comments and seeing the subscriber count rise every day keeps me motivated to keep this blog up and running. It's really cool, especially when you know that Marcofolio.net got off the ground less than a year ago.

Anyway, for the Photoshop-users out there: Get ready for another awesome Photoshop tutorial that I'll be releasing in a couple of days. And for those readers that like my monthly Imagedumps; I'm sure you're aware that it's already a new month, so stay tuned!

It's been a while since I wrote my last Flash / Actionscript tutorial. But lately, I got several requests on different Flash tutorials so I decided to start up the program once again.

Many websites don't want their images to be copied. You can add a (hidden) watermark, slamming your logo several times on the image or let it carry a secret file, but I wanted a totally different approach. I wanted to protect my images using Flash and more important: It should be done dynamically.

Before I'm going to start with this tutorial, I recommend you to check out my demo on what we'll be creating. I'm telling you: Those images are loaded dynamically using external JPG files. Can you find the real images?

You can download the source and demo code if you don't feel like following this tutorial. You'll only need to change the XML file and you're done.

Just a short, personal, non-techie post from the person behind this blog / website. I just got a new (parttime) job as a PHP programmer at WIWI Websolutions. The CakePHP framework they're using is pretty cool and I'm learning it now.

Yesterday, it was Queensday in the Netherlands. It's a national holiday, celebrating the birthday of the Queen. This simply means: A free day with loads of partying.

In the morning, there was a flea market down town which I visited. When I was going through some old vinyls, checking for some "good old songs", I stumbled upon the following record.

I laughed, thinking that I got RickRolled in real life. I know it's pretty geeky, but seriously: When you listen to Rick Asteley's Never Gonna Give You Up, it'll be stuck for the rest of the day in your head. As you can see, this isn't the vinyl of Never Gonna Give You Up, but from Whenever You Need Somebody. I spended the next hour searching for the correct record, but sadly I couldn't find it.

Here are a couple of more pictures from Queensday in Arnhem that I made with my iPhone.
