Asking for people that would like to featured in a 20 Questions Podcast. Video, Photography, Mac. Don't be shy it is just a chat
I love the way you can record in the new quick time & send it directly to YouTube or MobileMe. It works a treat.
Watching the trailer for the film INK by @DoubleEdgeFilms who I will talk to later for Video 20 Questions Podcast - Looks nightmare scary !

Karen Spering wrote the book called Painting for Photographers

Listen to the Podcast

What was so great about talking with Karen was that she is into so many things, like myself she can't stop herself being interested in a variety of interests. She has published a book called Painting for Photographers which is available now as an eBook and will be going into print very shortly. It is not her first book either, as karen has written a number of manuals for the Application Painter or PainterX. Karen also is an artist and amazingly like the same styles of art as myself too. Both of us really like the German expresionists, the surrealist and we both have an appreciation for the talent of Picasso.

You really must have a look at her paintings at her web site. She is conveying a dream world as art and with them being in black and white it reminds me of the work by Giger the artist that created the creature in the movie Alien. Karen is having an exhibition this month of her art work and if you live near enough you are invited to go and have a look.

Karen also writes screen plays for movies and has a script for a romantic comedy, where does she find the time to do all these things?

Show Sponsor is GoDaddy - I use GoDaddy for all my domains and hosting. I use the deluxe hosting for $7.99 a month and have a number of my domains on the same hosting. It is a huge bargain where other hosting companies will let you only have one domain or perhaps two on a hosting and probably charge more for it too. Godaddy is for me the best place to get domains and I am happy to recommend it to you. If you put in the code POD146 when you get to the check out you will get 10% discount off your order. I tested that out and it works.

Contact me and lets talk about Macs, art, photography, cars, football, motorbikes, film, video

Snow Leopard after a couple of weeks of using it

Listen to the podcast




In this podcast I talk to three mac users after Snow Leopard had been out for a week or so. Two of them had upgraded and the other was still waiting for the disks to arrive. Thanks to Mark Dalton, and Alexander to talking about their experiences actually installing Snowy and to Stefaan Lesage for a general chat prior to his pending upgrade. Looking forward to meeting up with Stefaan later this week at Podcamp Barcelona.

I will have a busy week this week with interviews lined up with Mac users and also some indie film makers and the Podcamp next Saturday. I put out a video podcast yesterday featuring my friend the artist Frank Corfield for Artist 20 Questions.

I waffle on about my new toy , a Drobo which is sitting on my desk now keeping my data safe. I have put in a couple of 1TB drives and have another pair of 500GB Drives to put in also.

Mark has just bought a Drobo also and had put in 4 of 1TB drives. So he will have plenty of room for his video stuff with Final Cut Pro.

For my next trick I will be sitting on the sofa watching England beat Croatia to get qualified for the World Cup in South Africa
Just started the download of the iPhone 3.1 update - cool - will probably take ages seeing as the server will be getting hammered

I connected the Drobo with the firewire cable copying files across to it now of the main HD taking a while to do the job
Got an executioners hood free with the my Drobo - really. Not sure if it is really me though ?
