It’s no secret that those of us who do professional web design/development despise Internet Explorer 6. With IE 7 out for a while and IE 8 on the horizon, more and more leading companies and web folk are pressing ahead and dropping / degrading support for the ancient browser.

I’m pretty sure it’s borderline illegal for an Apple geek with a website to not write about the applications they use frequently, so here goes. And, since I always find myself recommending programs to friends when they make the switch now I can just point them here.

Getting started with Adobe Photoshop can be a pretty daunting task. Encountering all those pallettes, menus, filters and tools for the first time can be intimidating and downright frustrating.
Recently I realized that come August, I’ll have been working with Photoshop for 10 years (the sound you hear is my own horn tooting). In that time, it’s the one piece of software I’ve used consistently and have developed some rather good (and plenty bad) habits that might come in handy for people firing it up for the first time.

I’d rather pay $400.00 on actual books than on a device
in which I then have to buy books to use.
Have a good Thanksgiving.
