Free lecture by Derrick Story at the Stanford/Palo Alto Macintosh Users Group
I just learned from ImagingInsider.com that photographer and author Derrick Story will be giving a free lecture at the Stanford/Palo Alto Macintosh Users Group (SMUG) on Monday evening, Aug. 6. He will cover iPhoto 6, as well as techniques for making great pictures.
Derrick has shared a tremendous amount of information over the years through his books, podcasts and various blogs on many topics including: digital photography; Apple Aperture; Adobe Photoshop Lightroom; Adobe Photoshop; Apple iPhoto; and iPod and iTunes.
In this post from about a year ago, I recommended a specific travel photo-related podcast by Derrick, on his very informative blog and podcast, The Digital Story. I found the show to be packed full of good advice for anyone who plans to travel with a camera.
Derrick is also co-host of one of my favorite podcasts, The iLifeZone.
For more information on this event, visit The Digital Story.

Mac OSX 11 application bundle available for $49. Expires Friday 7/19.
A few days ago I received an e-mail from Scott Sheppard at Inside Mac Media, notifying me about a bundle of Mac OSX software from MacUpdate.com for $49. I checked it out and decided to make the purchase because I can see how I could use at least half of the programs. I already own Cocktail, which I highly recommend. The retail value of the 11 application bundle is $441.82, and the cost is $49.
Here is a list of the applications: TechTool Pro, Intaglio, Little Snitch, GraphicConverter, Fetch, iWOW, GarageSale, Cocktail, ProfCast, Amadeus Pro and PhotoPresenter.
According to the website, the offer expires Noon Friday Eastern Standard Time, 7/19/2007.
I have no affiliation with MacUpdate and I receive no commission for this referral.

Walt Mossberg To Review Apple iPhone on CNBC 1:30pm EST Wed 6/27
I just saw the announcement that Walt Mossberg, technology writer for the Wall Street Journal will review the Apple iPhone on CNBC 1:30pm EST Wed 6/27/2007. I’m primarily interested in the quality of the phone connection, audio quality when using Bluetooth devices, battery life when using Bluetooth, WiFi, etc., digital camera image quality, PDF viewing, and how well it can function as an “on-the-go” photo and video portfolio for photographers and other creative professionals.
I just came across this video on The Apple Phone Show, posted today. It’s difficult to say whether Mr. Mossberg will add any additional info. I assume his appearance on CNBC will be live. The Apple Phone Show site also has links to online reviews by Walt Mossberg and David Pogue, Technology Columnist from The New York Times.
iPhone related resources and news links from CNBC.com’s home page (www.cnbc.com)
My guess is that the video review will probably be posted here sometime today. (No, that’s not a YouTube link, but it’s always possible it will end up there too).

Good Q&A between Walt Mossberg and Apple, Inc. CEO Steve Jobs.
Very well-produced guided tour of the iPhone on Apple Inc.’s site.
The Apple Phone Show: An excellent blog and podcast that covers the Apple iPhone.
UPDATE Wed 5:30PM : This was a pretty good interview, though I found the written review by Walt Mossberg on the Wall St. Journal’s website to be far more comprehensive. I did learn from the review that Walt will probably be purchasing one (he has to return the one he tested), which is a good endorsement for Apple. I would like to know what the screen looked like after a few weeks of finger tapping and sliding.
