Big news: PennyPuddle.com, the site I’ve been helping David Podley build, just went live today. We have officially launched and are open for business. Have a look and let us know what you think.
Scott Bourne, the well known photographer from the TWiP podcast, has a new photography site called ScottCritiques.com. He offers critiques of users’ photos and tips for how to improve them. Looks like it’s going to be an interesting site, so check it out and see what you think.
I’m just starting post-production on the first set of podcast episodes for a new series at FrugalPod.com. The site/blog is run by a friend of mine, David Podley, who is a financial planner and expert in personal finance. The new series should go live in about two weeks. The blog is already up, so check it out.

I just posted a new set of photos on Flickr. They were taken yesterday during a boat tour of the Port of Long Beach. The sky added a great dramatic element, as it was dark and overcast during the tour. http://www.flickr.com/photos/nacuff/
As the Macworld Expo is winding down today it looks like Apple fans have some good news. While there weren’t many exciting new hardware announcements (I was hoping for a Mini update) the update to iLife, especially the features in iMovie and iPhoto, are welcome news. And now that iTunes has evolved into a DRM-free store I’m tempted to try it again after having moved over to Amazon’s MP3 store.
