I received this email a few days ago from Esko Reinikainen about the Digital Storytelling Festival in Aberystwyth next week. If you haven’t yet booked – there’s still time, but not a lot of it. I’ll be there and would love to see you there too. Look out for the digistories trade stand. Dear Digital Storytelling […]

Improve Encoding Quality in iDVD
May 19, 2010 by
If you want to improve the quality of DVDs that you burn with Apple’s iDVD I’ve just discovered something really useful. I had always been under the impression that iDVD always used the best possible encoding unless you were trying to squeeze more onto a DVD, and then it started to sacrifice quality for quantity. […]

Some thoughts on things I’ve seen for May 18th from 11:19 to 11:19: Aperture 3: The Ars Review – Not just a review but a good overview of most of the new features in Aperture 3 – which is my photo editor/organiser of choice.

Some thoughts on things I’ve seen for May 11th from 18:36 to 18:36: LiveTypeCentral — Expansion Packs and More for LiveType! – A really useful set of tutorial on the use of LiveType. It usefully fills a lot of the gaps in the LiveType manual – of which there are many.

May 10, 2010 by
I am returning to the Riding Lights Summer Theatre School this summer with two digistories workshops under the title multistory.net.

Mars Edit 3
May 6, 2010 by
The latest update of Mars Edit blogging software is in the wild. I was very tempted to deploy it when version 2.3 emerged but I decided to stick with the web interface. I think the latest version is going to lift the dollars out of my pocket as I’m won over by the smarter features. […]

I am delighted that one of the keynote presentations at DS5 in Aberystwyth will be delivered by Alex Henry of Culture Shock. I trained the teams for this project back in 2008 and now they’re teaching me things. Joe Lambert the Founding Director of the Centre for Digital Storytelling is also on the programme. I missed […]
Upgrading website to WordPress CMS
April 23, 2010 by
The white cat (OSX10.6) broke my ancient Dreamweaver 2004 application. When I looked at the price of the latest version (too old to upgrade) I knew it was a really good time to abandon the static digistories website for something more dynamic. I wanted it to be based on WordPress. There seemed little point in […]
