This is a good read. Rob Galbraith digs more deeply into Apple’s Aperture due later this month. In addition to looking at many of the features in more detail, Rob has some interesting conclusions about how the new app compares with other programs in this category. And he obviously concludes that Photoshop remains safe and sound, but seems to think this will be a great addition to many shooters workflow setups.
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.
