Free Real World GoLive 6 PDF
Glenn and I (to be fair, Glenn did all the work) have released the complete contents of our book Real World Adobe GoLive 6 as a 23 MB downloadable PDF. See Glenn’s weblog post about why. Also, in response to this action, Doc Searls wonders, “Since books on software have such a short shelf life, ...

Another Ken Burns Fix
Erica Sadun has created an AppleScript script that toggles the Ken Burns behavior on and off. (Poor Ken Burns… his name is associated with documentaries and iMovie annoyances.)

Carter Op-Ed
Former President Jimmy Carter weighs in on the prospect of War in the New York Times.

Humboldt, TN
I’m in Humboldt, Tennessee, drinking some terrible one-step-up-from-instant coffee in what is otherwise a decent hotel room. It’s quarter to midnight, and unfortunately I have a lot of work to do. Hence putting up with bad coffee, and writing this blog entry instead of the article I need to finish. I’m here to attend the ...

Hotelling in Downtown Seattle
My wife works in the marketing department of a biopharmaceutical company, which often has advantages that I get to enjoy. This weekend, she’s supervising a video shoot in downtown Seattle, and because she’s working from dawn til dusk, she has a hotel room for the weekend at The Inn at Harbor Steps. Of course, I ...

Adam Engst on War in Iraq
We rarely interject political opinions into TidBITS, which is why I think it’s important to link to Adam’s article about the problem our government is blindly walking into, “A Personal Statement on War in Iraq.”
