Conference Time Again!
We just booked up tickets for my two favourite conferences, The Highland Fling in Edinburgh and @Media 2008 in London.
I’m really looking forward to both this year, last time was a blast, especially the Fling, it’s fantastic having a conference of it’s caliber in my home town.
Hopefully we can swing a few more this year as I’d love to attend dConstruct and FOWA .

The New Setup
So the day after I got my xbox my tv died, which is pretty much my luck to a ‘t’.
Luckily my folks decided to go halfers on a new Goodmans 32inch HD, which is a pretty sweet replacement for my old 28″ bulky telly.
Of course from there my downfall began. You see once you get an HD tv, then you want to get the HD-DVD add on to the xbox, then there’s the HD-DVDs of films you already have but must experience in HD (like Transformers), that’s followed by needing to buy Halo and Mass Effect for the 360 and a Gold account to play said games online.
It’s a sickness, it really is….now I need to get that HDMI cable…
Pixelmator!
![]()
Pixelmator is a very neat new graphics application for the mac, basically it’s a lot like Photoshop Elements but with a lighter price tag of $59.
What I really like about it is the slick Aperture-like ui and integration with .mac for backup and ilife with an iphoto panel, not to mention the inspired isight integration.
While at the moment it really isn’t a contender to the business pull that Adobe’s CS3 suite has, I do like the idea of using this for smaller projects where vector editing isn’t required. Grouped with ilife, textmate and coda, a web designer/developer can put together quite a powerful web production suite for less than the cost of a single component of the CS3 library.
