Jetstar got mac!

So tonight I was browsing through the normal daily run of spam advertising that arrives in my inbox and I noticed this Jetstar advert.

Jetstar Macbook Pro

Looks like Jetstar or their advertising/marketing/design company thought a Macbook Pro would be a good look, and it is.

I must admit I love the design and look of my Macbook Pro, infact all the Apple laptops look a lot better than just about anything out there.
Apple fanboi? Me? Noooo never :P

iMovie 08

During last week I managed to make some time to play around with Apple’s new iMovie 08, it’s not a bad package at all, lots of options and capabilities. Not having used iMovie previously it didn’t take me long to get the hang of it.

I managed to waste an hour or so and make a decent clip of Luca’s activites from last month. Export straight from iMovie 08 to Quicktime, upload the file and use a Wordpress plugin to embed Quicktime files and we are off and running.

Love that technology!

Picture viewer and easy slideshow on your Mac

Ever wished that your Mac had a better picture viewer or quick way or running a slideshow of a group of photos?

Phoenix Slides is a neat little program that provides exactly this. It’s simple, has a clean interface and does an admirable job. I love it!

Mac Clock and Calendar

Recently I started looking for a replacement for the task bar clock/calendar
on my Mac. I eventually found and started using Magical, it’s free, has a ton of features and seems to work very well.

Although it is still an Alpha release I haven’t had any dramas with it and have enjoyed the extra functionality it provides. Read more and download here.
