Updated Discussions Links
I’ve updated the links at the sidebar for Apple’s discussion groups for iMovie and iDVD. I mention this mostly as a mini-rant, because this is the third or fourth time I’ve had to do this since starting this blog.

Edit Well, Final Cut Studio Newsletter
Although this blog is mostly focused on iMovie HD and iDVD, I always have one eye out for the next steps up: Final Cut Express and Final Cut Studio.
