So Lion has been out for a month, and it’s great! However, there are a few things that take time to get adjusted to like Mission Control and inverted scrolling, to name a couple. If you’re looking to learn all the new nooks and crannies or want advice on if you should upgrade yet, give [...]

Jason here… I just got back from a weeklong trip to Boston where I went through Apple’s Train-the-Trainer class for Final Cut Pro. After demolishing the exam with a 97.1, I am officially an Apple Certified Final Cut Pro Trainer! This is just the beginning. Over the next year, I’ll be aiming to get training [...]
Continue ReadingA few days with iLife ’11
So, I’ve been toying around with the new iLife the last few days and so far, so good. iPhoto has some interesting layout changes, which I think are a pretty big hint as to what we can expect from 10.7 Lion, the next operating system. For all you Facebookers out there, the enhanced Facebook integration [...]
Continue ReadingiTunes 10 and Ping
So I’ve spent a little over a week with the new version of iTunes and its social networking feature, Ping.

The first few days [...]

Continue ReadingOne month with the iPad
So I picked up an iPad as soon as I could and have spent a whole month with it now. The device is simply amazing for those looking for a new and simple way to consume information, photos, videos, music. Does it fully replace a laptop or desktop computer? No, but it wasn’t meant to. [...]
Continue ReadingiChat Theater and Final Cut Pro
I’m a videographer, which usually involves a lot of back and forth with clients about the videos I’m making for them. Once I was done with a rough cut, I used to have to go through the somewhat tedious process of exporting the video from Final Cut Pro, compress it and upload it to the [...]
Continue ReadingMy 36″ MacBook Pro
I do a lot of editing in Final Cut Pro, which can get a bit cramped on my 15″ MacBook Pro. I COULD go out and buy an external monitor, but what mostly people don’t realize is how easy it can be to hook up your Mac to your TV. I’ve got a 1080p 36″ [...]
