It didn’t take long. Both FrontRow (Apple’s 10-foot multimedia
interface) and PhotoBooth (another cute Mac app designed to take snaps
of a user a la an old school photo booth) have been modified to work on
most any Mac, not just the latest iMac with the built in IR/iSight.
Here’s a snap of yours truly using the ‘Pop Art’ filter via a G5 with an external iSight.

Woo doggy! While my local EBGames has no copies, and the one I ordered from Gamestop is backordered with no estimated delivery, I was seriously bumming earlier this week. Lo and behold, a friend here at work drops this copy into my hands – seems he didn’t need this copy for a while. The game is excellent – it took a bit of time to get used to driving with the tiny stick, and I do wish the screen were larger. But it’s like old home week revisiting good ol’ Liberty City and my favorite hangouts. Certainly is easier to play knowing the rough city layout like the back of my hand. The wife doesn’t appreciate the sound of mayhem coming from the PSP – but it’s gotta be better than in the living room! 2 thumbs up so far for this one…

Noticed that by friend Lee Clontz had blogged that the tag-savvy, blogging-friendly browser Flock had been released and he was trying it out. Flock cautions users of the current build:
If you’re the bleeding-edge type and don’t mind a few scrapes and busted knees from time to time, feel free to give it a whirl….So if a bucket of source code and developer binaries sound enticing, head over to our Developer page now.
I’m posting this via the built-in blogging tools now. Seems very user friendly, although the import of my Safari bookmarks keeps failing. But the tagging support, RSS system (multiple ‘topbars’ yay!) and Flickr integration make this very attractive.

I took a quick trip out to San Francisco for a DoubleClick meeting in
Napa Oct 16-Oct19. I visited Shane and Vicki Holland and their adorable
little man Ian. Just a few pics since I left my charger at home :-(.
But I did manage to get a few cute pics of Ian and a nice view of the Golden Gate Bridge. In addition to getting a lovely head/chest infection, the DoubleClick meetings were enjoyable – notable for the fabulous dinner at Cakebread Cellars. I spent more on wine I shipped back home than I probably should have. But hey – how often can I get my hands on a reserve wine a winery I love doesn’t retail anywhere but at their own vineyard.
