For anyone who knows Shannon Hughes, she appeared in the most recent episode of NOVA along with her research group at Princeton.  Her group’s research has been in using digital image analysis techniques to detect art forgeries (really interesting stuff, actually!), and NOVA highlighted their work in helping the van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam differentiate between real and fake paintings.

Shannon is featured as unnamed female grad-student in Ingrid Daubechies’ group on the Princeton team (starting about 3/4 of the way through the video).  For those of you familiar with Shannon’s “unique” laugh, you can hear it near the very end of the video if you listen carefully.

One Random Link for everyone: PSDTuts is a remarkable site filled with Photoshop tutorials.  Each tutorial is very readable and helps you go from start to finish in creating a professional looking graphic.  The site is designed for people who have intermediate Photoshop expertise (can create layers, choose colors, find tools, adjust settings, use filters, etc), but who need help creating more interesting effects or designs.  If you’ve ever asked “how did they draw that?” this is the place to find out.  Good example: creating Transparent Glass Lettering.
