Since upgrading my computers to the latest version of Apple’s OS X 10.5, Leopard, this past weekend I’ve been involved in a process of making order from chaos.
This isn’t due to a fault of Leopard. Yes, it has some bugs but I remember when they first released OS X Tiger (10.4) it also its share [...]

Ecto 3 seems to [...]

Then you will want to spend a few moments to listen to an excellent podcast, “Inkscape Part 1,” by my blogging friend Richard Querin of Renaissance Man. The podcast is a guest spot on LinuxReality and this may be your best chance to hear Richard before he starts charging for speaking engagements. 
Richard does some amazingly creative things with Inkscape and is also co-creater/contributer of the Screencasters site that has many excellent tutorials on using Inkscape.

It’s being reported that OS X 10.5 Leopard’s pre-orders are double what they were for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. The reasons: dissatisfaction with Microsoft Vista, the fact that this is the longest period of time between major releases of Mac OS X, and Leopard’s new features. Patrick Brown, CEO of Brown Computer Solutions, said “We’ve probably doubled the backorders of Leopard, compared to what we did with Tiger.

I’m beginning to realize gains from becoming technically more knowledgeable.It is essential to an architect (or photographer) to know how to see: I mean to see in such a way that the vision is not overpowered by rational analysis. – Luis Barragan Second mentally, I’ve been working at stripping away preconceived screens and filters to allow things to be seen as if for the first time…. I’m training myself to open my minds eye and observe freshly all the components of the composition before me, not just the quick sum of the whole that my mind produces day-to-day.

Apple’s posted a guided tour video for OS X 10.5, Leopard, at their web site. This video introduces many of the new features of Leopard.For those who don’t want to watch it on-line, it can be downloaded in both iPod and large video sizes (108mB and 379mB downloads.)

This was done via Steve Jobs with a post on on the Apple Web Site.It will take until February to release an SDK because we’re trying to do two diametrically opposed things at once—provide an advanced and open platform to developers while at the same time protect iPhone users from viruses, malware, privacy attacks, etc. This is no easy task…. There have been serious viruses on other mobile phones already, including some that silently spread from phone to phone over the cell network…. I’m certain that once the SDK is released there will be the same level of effort to hack any restrictions it applies.So, instead of criticizing Apple for taking so long to open these devices, I appreciate them taking this step.
