The third edition of my Take Control of Apple Watch book is out now!
My latest article for DPReview is an interview with Pete Souza about his new book documenting his time as the Chief Official White House Photographer.
We interviewed Obama's Chief Official White House Photographer on the latest episode of the Photocombobulate podcast about his new book and his historic time in the White House.
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, ...
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.)
Final Cut Express: VQS is almost out the door, which means it’s time to start focusing most of my time on writing iMovie 3: VQS. To celebrate, I’ve created an iMovie 3 VQS blog, where I’ll post tips and info that I run across as I write, and links to resources that are mentioned in ...

Although his presidency isn’t recent, it’s good to see our former leaders speak out against the current administration, given that traditionally (as far as I know) ex-presidents have chosen not to criticize sitting ones.
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 ...
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 ...
