With so many photographers using Macintosh computers, it was high time that someone should write a book that was specifically designed to help photographers understand better how the Macintosh OSX system works and how to troubleshoot some of the common problems photographers face.
Hi,
I just released more of my Dreamweaver MX video tutorials.
Thought Dreamweaver MX was released in 2004, not much in Dreamweaver has changed since that time … especially when it comes to the basics.
Because of recent demand, I decided to release my PHP video tutorials in iPod format - that means they play on your iPod.
Digital Web’s founder and publisher, Nick Finck, on The Contextual Web:
“There are four Elements of Context – the User, the Task, the Environment, and the Technology. Who is your user and what obstacles are they facing; what task are they trying to complete; what is the environment in which they are working; and what kind of computer or device are they using? Designing interactive experiences is not limited to the web on your computer or phone – consider gas pumps, fridges, or devices like Microsoft Surface.
Since we recently celebrated Photoshop’s 18th birthday, it seems a lot of people are finding old Photoshop “stuff”. These icons were recently posted on http://blog.cocoia.com, with some, uh, well, less than positive comments. Even John Knoll, Photoshop’s coauthor (and borther of Thomas) felt compelled to respond:
Brushes have become an almost-daily use for any designer.
Finding brushes might not be a problem, but finding decent ones is actually a true challenge.
Often you’ll be stumbling upon useless and overrated stocks. That’s why we collected the best resource-websites with photoshop-brushes to be found on the net. You’ll be amazed by the great amount of quality-brushes…
The search for free, good quality texture resources has become an almost hopeless work. The moment when you’ve found a new source you’re happy, quality looks good and suddenly you see they want you to pay for them. Because there are so few for free it makes it even more hard to find the best. But here we are.
Back in about 1906, Vilfredo Pareto created a mathematical formula to describe the not so equal distribution of wealth in his country; he figured out that twenty percent of the people owned eighty percent of the wealth.
I’m sure Pareto thought that sucked pretty bad, needless to say, he had no idea how good they had it back then!
OK, so what does this have to do with web design?
The 80/20 has since evolved into a proven principle that works in just about any field - web design in no different. A classic definition of the principle states: that a small number of the causes (20%) are responsible for most (80%) of the effect.
There’s a lot of talk floating around about the future of open source with Microsoft threatening to sue organizations with a whopping 235 violations of their patents. The free and open source software communities behind many projects are worried and they should be, unsurprisingly a huge number of these violations have been breached by Linux Kernel. But should we be worried about our prized open source software and is it right to have software licensing and software patents, is this not against the whole ethos of the open source Internet?

Review:
I've been waiting for a while to make sure that when I submit a post it is worth it's merits. The Geniant blog is one that really stood out to me as something that would definitely be worth writing a review for. Upon the first impression of the site it doesn't scream blog! which so many sites do these days. The Geniant blog presents it's information much clearer and very easy to read format.
