OK. Welcome back!
So lynda.com is the MOST amazing online learning resource I've ever seen! They have classes on everything… film editing, advanced spreadsheets, some programs I've never heard of… seriously… WTH is OmniGraffle? I could totally take this class and find out, I suppose…
But check this out; here's a screenshot of just the software listings for the letter F!
Everything you could possibly think of or want!
Did I mention the photography? There are shooting classes, with Flickr groups to upload your images for critique… there are documentaries about how people create their art, there are post-processing workshops on everything from basic Camera Raw processing to turning your photo into a painting in Photoshop.
I'm completely overwhelmed, but I mean that in the very best way!
Seriously, you guys… if you've ever thought about trying to take your software knowledge to the next level, this is one of the best investments you can make in yourself!
Here's what I'm going to do… I'm going to do a class this week, and then I'll tell you about and more of my thoughts, once I actually get into it all.
But here's the amazing thing! I get to give away TWO Premium subscriptions! They're worth $375 EACH, and I have TWO to give away!
Well, I *will* have 2 to give away. Come back next week to enter!
In the meantime, tell me what you would want to learn first, if you had a membership to lynda.com!

I LOVE Lynda.com. I want to take all the photo classes, but especially Ben Long’s Exposure basics series.
Fantastic site! We used it at work in my last job.
This is really cool and I can’t believe I’ve never heard of it before. This would be a great resource for homeschooling.
Can’t wait to enter!
Never knew about Lynda.com. Some cool things to learn. There are so many photoshop Element things I need to learn!
I’d skip on down the list to T and check out Twitter followed by Tumblr.
I…I can’t choose. There are so many that look brilliant!
