The emphasis in digital photography instruction is that every photographic image will benefit from a small, moderate, or substantial amount of fixing and tweaking. Should we be shocked and surprised when our teachers insist pictures that look perfect on a computer monitor require enhancement?

Time to upgrade: iBook or PowerBook?
When SoundTrack came upon the scene, I was mesmerized by it’s simplicity and power. Unfortunately it was less than impressed with my Pismo. As in, it wouldn’t load, much less play. GarageBand came around after not too long and satisfied my meager song making abilities, but the seed was planted. I needed something better.

Apple’s Cash Cow Is Dying
What does this mean for Apple Computers? Eventually they will be a software company instead of a hardware/software company (except perhaps for Servers). Right now, their cash cow is in their most excellent and world-class hardware.

THE MOUSE THAT ROARED
…Mickey doesn’t seem that friendly anymore. Looks to me that Disney is toast too. With all the public in-fighting between Michael Eisner and Walt Disney’s nephew Roy, – and with the major split between Pixar and Disney, – and with the new hostile takeover bids by Comcast, Warner Brothers, et. al., – the image of the sweet harmless mouse is becoming tarnished, and a bit frayed around the edges. Childhood memories are fading fast.
