If you have been reading this series of articles on our current open source paint programs, you likely know my own interest stems from my slow-but-steady move from Windows to Ubuntu Linux.

Why Adobe is frustrating web designers
At the end of the 1980s I become friendly with a fellow named John Knoll. A very likeable fellow who years later would go on to win Academy Awards for his work as creative and technical director of Hollywood’s Industrial Light & Magic. But when I met him, he and his brother Thomas were busy working on software they had created and recently sold to a small software company in the niche typography market. Of course the software was Photoshop, and the small publisher was Adobe, Inc.

Cash buyers in the local real estate market
A article in the Saturday, December 16 Watertown Daily Times caught my eye. Entitled “Rise of the all-cash homebuyer shifting market” and written by Mia Taylor of Bankrate.com, the article states that there has been a “proliferation of all-cash home purchases, which is making an already daunting market even trickier for hopeful buyers.” Of course, one of the main reasons for this is that all-cash buyers do not need to get a mortgage loan.
Real Estate Roundup Column: How real estate commissions work
There have been questions raised nationally as to why brokers representing home sellers often pay the commission of brokers representing home buyers. Here are answers to those questions and basic information every buyer and seller needs to know.

They also agree on what the seller will offer to the agent bringing the buyer to the table. 1. Commission is negotiable.

D’Andre Foster: The Homeroom Teacher
“It was fine!” It’s the dreaded response every parent hates to hear in the school pickup line. This quick, blunt response can almost always illicit feelings of failure as a parent when trying to engage with your child about their school day. We often expect to be so much more than parents. In these moments we hope to be therapists offering cathartic advice to our kids. We want to be heroes. We want to hear about the school bullies and convince our inner saviors not to confront them on the playground.

Real Estate Roundup Column: Fair housing protects everyone

Real Estate Roundup Column: The ten year challenge tri-County real estate edition
Many users of social media have been posting pictures of themselves in a “Ten Year Challenges.” The object is to post a picture from 2011 or 2012 with a picture from 2021 or 2022.

The Community Mural - Greg Jones

Real Estate Roundup Column: How to make the best purchase offer in a seller’s market

Family Fun at oNE OKC
Reading Time: 3 minutes An established sense of community is something I’m always looking for. I had it once but the feeling is now a distant memory. The memories are still vibrant in my mind—the smell of old hymnals, the smiles of church elders and the spirit of family. We were one, all united in a beloved neighborhood called the Eastside. Time grew us apart and before I knew it, my Eastside became a memory. Those memories are now live and vibrant thanks to oNE OKC.
Real Estate Roundup Column: What you need to know For buying or selling a home in 2021
Last month, I told you about roller coaster real estate sales in 2020. Our area showed strength and resiliency that seemed unimaginable after the first six months of the year.
