Ben Kaufman, founder of Mophie, a maker of iPod accessories and one of Small Dog Electronics prime suppliers, was featured on NPR’s Marketplace on Monday, September 25th. Ben was one of several students profiled in a story detailing a new hands-on approach to business education. Ben is a sophomore participating in the BYOBiz program at Champlain College, in Burlington, VT. Students in the program get special support when they bring an existing business with them to school or launch one while enrolled. The report samples the ventures and experiences of several students enrolled in the program at Champlain.

Marketplace’s Steve Tripoli posted the report at

Ben and Mophie will be helping us launch our new Flagship store in Burlington this October with some great product giveaways. Congratulations and thanks to Ben!

  • Content Aware Fill in Photoshop CS5

    We recently installed Adobe’s newly released “*Creative Suite 5*”:http://cs5.org/ on a few of our machines. One of the first features I was eager to try out was the new “Content Aware Fill” in Photoshop.

    This new feature allows you to make a quick selection within an image, delete it, and automatically fill in a randomized background based on the surrounding elements within the image.

    After tinkering with the new tool for a bit, I found that it worked best with natural organic images, such as the landscape scene featured in the video below. While it does not always do a perfect job, you can reselect pieces of the image after filling, and refill them to make the image more realistic.

    While this tool is not useful 100% of the time, when the situation and image permits, it can save a ton of time!
