Cool Macworld Product: VectorDesigner
Most of the features of VectorDesigner  are available in higher-end vector drawing programs, but the $70 cost of VectorDesigner is hard to beat. Moreover, if you've never used a vector drawing program before, the simple features you'd end up using in a higher-end program aren't much different than the standard features in VectorDesigner -- and in VectorDesigner, they're easy to find. Adam Goldstein delves into his discovery from the MacworldRead More... Aperture 2.0 with Joe Schorr

The decision to blog collaboratively can have significant legal consequences for the co-bloggers. In part 1 of a two-part series, Eric Goldman examines how current legal doctrines relevant to co-blogging can lead to unexpected (and possibly unwanted) results. Bloggers often work collaboratively with other bloggers, a phenomenon I call "co-blogging." The decision to co-blog may seem casual, but it can have significant and unexpected legal consequences for the co-bloggers. This series looks at some of these consequences under partnership law, employment law, and copyright law, explaining how each of these legal doctrines can lead to counterintuitive results. Part 2 of this series discusses some recommendations to mitigate the harshness of these results. Read More... What's the Score? Creating Compositions in After Effects
Antony Bolante shows you step-by-step how to create compositions in After Effects CS3 Professional that will be music to your ears. Without compositions, a project is nothing more than a list of footage items - a grocery list without a recipe; an ensemble without choreography; finely tuned instruments without, well, a composition. This is because compositions perform the essential function of describing how footage items are arranged in space and time. This chapter shows you how to create a composition and define its spatial and temporal boundaries by setting frame size, frame rate, duration, and so on. Read More... 2/15/2008
Let's hear it for No Starch Press
I just posted a press release for Wicked Cool PHP from No Starch Press and thought it's about time I gave a plug for this publisher. They have always been great supporters of our site. While their Mac selection isn't that broad, they do have some major Mac titles like The Cult of Mac and Apple Confidential 2.0 (written by a friend of mine, Owen Linzmayer). But they also have a lot of great books for the more geeky among us. One of my favorites of all time is Steal This Computer Book 4.0, one of the only computer books that I've read in recent years that I couldn't put down (But that's me, I've always been interested in hacking and network security). A couple of other noteworthy books for the Net Admin are Practical Packet Analysis (a great book on using the open source program "Wireshark" to analysis network traffic) and their newly released Hacking: The Art of Exploitation, 2nd Edition (a little over my head, but if you are a Linux geek you should get a lot out of this one). They have a lot of other interesting titles, check them out. Wicked Cool PHP
From No Starch Press San Francisco, CA -PHP is an easy-to-use scripting language that is perfect for quickly creating a wide range of dynamic web features, like forms, user polls, and shopping carts. It's the go-to language for web programmers in a hurry, and for good reason. 2/13/2008
Mac OS X 10.5.2 Update
Apple released Mac OS X 10.5.2 Update yesterday and my favorite feature is this... "...Updates Stacks with a List view option, a Folder view option, and an updated background for Grid view."This is certainly a welcome change. Now you can have a folder in the dock act like it used to in Tiger. With quick hierarchical navigation of folders, that you look like folders (no more stacks taking on some obscure icon). Just right click (control click) on a stack icon and choose "Display as folder" and "View content as list." Not as pretty as a fanned out stack, but a much more useful way to navigate. 2/09/2008
