And the reviews are in…
I’ve been looking forward to Peter Jackson’s remake of King Kong since I first heard about the project shortly after the last Lord of the Rings film was complete. I’m a big fan of Peter’s and I have a great amount of respect for him as a director. Not long after production started on the…

Winter is here…
Yesterday’s snow storm brought winter right to our doorstep. I could tell early on in the snow storm that it was going to be pretty bad, and it was. This morning, when I went out to clear off my car, I was amazed to see that there were drifts in our front yard that were…

One of the greatest things about living in this part of the country is the beautiful fall scenery.

New PowerMacs, PowerBooks and Aperture
Apple never fails to amaze me, and today’s announcements were no exception. Today Apple announced some not-so-great updates to the PowerBook line, some great changes to the PowerMac line and a new pro application for photographers called Aperture.

Apple hardware announcement expected today
Apple is set to release their “latest pro innovations” today just before the PhotoPlus expo. I wrote earlier about Apple’s new iMac and how it made the decision of whether to buy a PowerMac or an iMac more difficult than I thought. Will this announcement make that decision easier?
