These two DVDs, available from Photoshop Café, both have great, insightful information for the beginner or advanced photographer. Both videos (by Tim Cooper) are presented with bullets, text and many sample images. Tim is excellent in that he talks to you as a friend, explaining the nuances of photography. His voice is direct and calm, and it sounds like he wants to help you become a better photographer, not show off what he knows. All in all, these are informative and a pleasure to work with.

If you have a cell phone, any cell phone, you have a database in your pocket. At least if you store any numbers on that phone.

They're not content to just answer your questions with encyclopedic software, they want you to get excited about it; to share their enthusiasm and desire to learn and discover more. For the most part, they succeed. However, I wish some people passionate about a decent graphic user interface would share their enthusiasm with the developers of Starry Night.

While most companies are worried about changing the iPod's appearance, there are a few companies who know it's what's on the inside that matters. One such company is Talking Panda, and they'd like to see you use your iPod to not just listen to music and watch some TV, but to bridge the cultural divide. They'll help you do this by teaching you some guitar chords and ten different languages, including the international language: alcohol.
