oh happy happy day. while most everyone reacted to the mighty steve jobs' tuesday keynote with slightly more than a yawn, santa steve delivered exactly the late xmas present i was looking for. a new version of iphoto. it seems like myself and countless others have embraced the program, and then proceeded to use it well beyond the anticipated limits. because as you put more pictures in, it gets slower and slower. hence you get wonderful utilities like iphoto buddy, which allows you to swap library folders and thereby get an ephemeral clean, smooth-scrolling slate with which to work. but no longer, they say; it can go up to 25k images. awesome stuff. and as luck would have it, it just bought something to help me fill it up, too... muhuhahaha...
oh, and aspyr has announced that simcity4: rush hour is coming. yay! although i'd feel better about it if they delayed that a week and, you know, patched the original to work under panther.
let's see... what else? oh, if you're looking for new telejunkfood, the apprentice is damned entertaining, if you can get past the whole donald trump's hair thing. happily, the new real world has started, too. and it looks like they've moved beyond the old old real world style angst and acrimony of last season for the hook-ups and drinking and moral ambiguity of the las vegas season.
i'm going down to see the mouse this weekend. actually, more to the point, i'm going to see tracey run the marathon. i haven't been to disney world since 1985, so that should be fairly interesting.
iPhoto Diet is wonderful if you've got drive space issues like Thurgood.
I think I'll be purchasing iLife 04 for GarageBand, though. Mostly because I couldn't justify the drive space for the Apple Loops for Soundtrack.
I didn't realize that the new season of Real World started this week. RW:Paris was unwatchable, even without Adam's patehtic weekly attempts at songwriting. Las Vegas was so sleazy, if your comparisons are right, I'll have to start tuning into San Diego.
if iphoto is so great... why doesn't it run on XP?
