Our New Online Store: BigDiner.com
About four months ago I opened an online store powered by CafePress called BigDiner.com. CafePress is best known as a place to find T-shirts with just about any design imaginable (you can also make your own), but I think that it is also a great place for photographers and artists to sell posters, cards, magnets and other products. As of right now, I have not uploaded any of my photos, but you can find many text designs (most of them tech related), and I hope they bring a big smile to your day–or at least a tiny chuckle.
My overall plan is not to sell “fine art” type prints of photography. I like to have more control over those types of prints, but I really like the idea of making posters, like the ones commonly found in museum shops.
If you see something that you might like to purchase for you or a friend, there are some coupon codes on the left side (virtual blackboard specials). One of them currently offers $10 off of any $25 order. There is also an affiliate program with some banners that you can pick up and place on your site.
I look forward to hearing your comments. Please send e-mail to me at imaging@ andrewdarlow.com (just remove the space in the e-mail).

Free seminars online from Apple.com
I recently listened to a podcast and watched an Apple Seminar that features a very successful voiceover artist, Joe Cipriano. There are a lot of great tips for choosing a microphone, tips for recording in a hotel room, tips for how to speak into a mic and how to filter your voice. Just a lot of great stuff for people interested in recording audio.
Here’s a link to the specific Apple Seminar mentioned above. It is video and requires both Apple Quicktime and registration for the Apple Seminar to watch and listen.
The Radio Show/Podcast from which I learned about these resources is Inside Mac Radio (December 9th Show).
Joe Cipriano also has some video podcasts on his blog made with the video camera built into a MacBook Pro.
For many more free online seminars, covering a wide range of Apple products, visit the main seminar page at https://www.apple.com/seminars.

Eight page Inkjet & Imaging Tips Newsletter available online or as a PDF
THE IMAGING BUFFET PODCAST 006
InkjetTips20070131.pdf (click on the file to the left to download the Newsletter as a PDF).
Hello! I recently wrote a newsletter that contains news, tips and info about some of the fiber-based semi-gloss and gloss papers on the market. There are also some links to info on inexpensive hard drives, Apple Aperture and the announcement of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.0.
This podcast contains no audio or video. Though not commonly done, many types of media can be distributed via the same method as podcasts, including PDFs, and that’s what I’m sending out in this podcast. I normally don’t post my newsletters as articles, but I’ve made an exception with this one.
In the newsletter, there is an announcement for a free workshop at a professional photo lab in Middlesex, NJ. It’s being held next Tuesday, February 6. Below is the direct link to the newsletter online, with active hyperlinks:
