iYes!

The Apple event, yesterday, brought a lot of great new goodies for your favorite Apple geeks. Since I cannot afford a new machine, however, I am focused on the new updates to the iApps; iWork and iLife 08. Both of these suites have been updated with new features, functions and in some instances new applications (Numbers).
One of the cooler features, well there are tons but, the web gallery from iPhoto is something else…especially for plogs. Set up the gallery and allow uploading by email and you can update your cool web 2.0 image gallery on the go. One problem I had was not being able to publish from iPhoto and some quick research provides an update to the brand new app, already. I am guessing, since there is so little info, but there was an oversight in the handling of upgraded images. Ultimately, a quick update and restart the app and I had a test gallery up and running.
These 2 suites are some of the best values you can find and I would recommend them to anyone.

iPhone Dev Camp followup

The follow-up to the barcamp for the iPhone was quite productive. There is a list of apps available at their site.
iDevelop 4 iPhone

Apple has officially launched the iPhone developer's section to their site. It seems fairly light in offerings and logging into my developer account does not offer much more information. This weekend there is a Barcamp iPhone developer meeting in San Francisco; hopefully we will learn more about developing for the iPhone from there.
Dashboard Stats

There are some cool little utilities out there for your Dashboard. I have recently discover Dashalytics, a great little widget that shows a brief overview of your Google Analytics info. Another indispensable widget is the Mint widget. These 2 items combined keep me apprised of the traffic on my sites and I highly recommend them to any web developer that wants to monitor site traffic.
Only a few more hours…

A couple more hours to go and I cannot wait to see what Steve announces in SF. There are tons of rumours of what will be announced today at the MacWorld show, but I hope at least we get a full screen iPod and new mobile device from Apple. A slick Apple phone would be great if they have managed to pull off the technical issues.
Oh well…tick tock.
EDIT
Well what a show it was. The Apple TV was a big deal, but naturally the item that floored everyone, especially those folks over a the CES show, was Apple's new iPhone.
Steve started the keynote talking about the new Apple TV
Apple also introduced a new Airport that offers some great features.
A lot of great technology came out of the keynote and more stuff is coming out of the show. I am looking forward to getting one of everything.

So today is the day the final bundle has been revealed from the folks at MacHeist. If you have not been following, MacHeist has been a bit of an online scavenger hunt to get great deals (read: free) shareware apps for your trusty old OS X. The bundle they are releasing is a great list of popular software that many folks would be happy to add to their Mac. They are also donating 25% of the bundle price to a charity of your choosing, from their selected list.

D'Oh! Little gems in OS X
2006.11.14 15:25
I am an id10t. This may be something that I had forgotten, but it is a cool little feature in OS X. When typing in an app if you use the key combination option + delete, it will erase whole words rather than letters. Again, not sure if I had known this and just never used it, but I have recently rediscovered this nice feature in my favorite (read only) operating system.
iMac, now means intel Mac
2006.08.07 07:49
I have recently upgraded to a new machine. I got tired of waiting for the latest and greatest, although any announcement made today at WWDC may make me rethink that strategy, and bought a 20" iMac. Developing sites, and other associated creative endeavors, necessitated a faster machine. With Adobe products being a staple of any designer's toolset, I was curious to see if the new machine would be able to run those apps without a serious hit from Rosetta. Read More...

The latest release of RapidWeaver is slated for any moment now. RealMac Software has designed a nice little app to let you develop websites with very little training. I actually use it as a RAD tool to create wireframes of sites for clients. It allows you the ability to develop a wireframe site in no time at all to insure the user experience is optimally designed.
