    Join Christy and Steve Holden as they travel to New York City via
    Newark, NJ to see the Sunday matinée of Jersey Boys on 10/21/07 and then attend the
    Broadway Fan Tribute Event that evening.  This once in a lifetime event included
    members of The Four Seasons (Frankie Valli, Tommy DeVito, Bob Gaudio,
    and Joe Long), and dozens of Broadway cast members including the four
    main principles: John Lloyd Young, Daniel Reichard, Christian Hoff, and
    J. Robert Spencer.

    This is the first video podcast from Jersey
    Boys Podcast
    .  It was produced on a Mac Book Pro running Mac OS 10.5
    ‘Leopard’ and iMovie 08.  Video was taken using the Canon HV20 and still images are from a Canon Digital Rebel XT.

    The following song samples were played during this show [thanks to Rhino Records]:

  • I recently made a bold decision to move Christy off the PC to Mac OS X Leopard and iLife'08 plus iWork'08.  This will mean the only PC at home would be my work ThinkPad X61 TabletPC.

    The migration has been relatively smooth(probably better than going from XP to Vista), but the latest hiccup is the feature in iPhoto'08
    to wall off your photos in Apple's iPhoto proprietary document
    repository that appears to be more locked down to a standard user than the iTunes
    library.

    From what I can tell you can't easily get to individual pictures from the standard file system interfaces, so if you want to print some pictures to Costco
    via their web interface you have to first export from iPhoto the
    pictures you want into the Apple file system so the browser can see
    them.  The older version of iPhoto would let you in the photo library
    from the file system but the new one does not.  So there is now an
    extra step that is going to trip up basic users and if you are a
    new switcher, this will really be frustrating.  On the PC it is pretty darn
    straight forward to print one's pictures online.

    I hope there is a better work around available either by a suggestion
    from someone smarter than me or a new tool. The Costco website does
    mention a new Macintosh tool seems to be planned but nothing has been announced. 

    The search is on, Christy is not happy. 😉

    UPDATE (12/28/2007): There is a new version that appears to work with iPhoto'08.

  • I really like the Quick Look feature in Mac OS X Leopard.  It is very handy in Mail if someone send you an attachment.  For those that never open attachments, this might be a happy medium. 

    I did notice something strange though when doing a Quick Look with a Microsoft Word document.  The arrow cursor changes to text select cursor if you move it over the document, and gives you the impression that you could grab some text to do a cut and paste with it.  But no selection seems to take place.

    Maybe it is user error but it feels like a bug to me.
