iPhoto is better than that...
Mark Pilgrim: "Import of existing pictures is a pain; pictures can be tagged with keywords, titles, and comments, but then there are no search features to use these[...]"
Not so.
There is a toggle switch to the left of the keywords box: Assign/Search. When in Assign mode, you assign keywords to photos. When in search mode, you search for photos with those keywords. I don't think there's a way to search the comments field (yet), but it's one-dot-oh so... give it time. And it's supposed to be simple enough for grandma to use... let's not turn this into a UI mess.

Techstra for Aaron's Cocoa Programming book

This makes a book a community. Right on.
(When you go there, choose the first edition and look for page 56. That's a good sample...)
Thai Iced Tea
The Thai Iced Tea I had with dinner tonight (actually, both of them ;-)) have really done a number on me. I can't get tired. :-/
Maybe I'm just excited about another day at Genentech learning Cocoa, and a little sad that tomorrow's the last day. I'm going to miss that sweet PowerMac Cube, too.
A G4 makes all the difference with OS X, let me tell you. Wow.

Damn! Proof MOSR will post anything
A clueless MacOS Rumors reader (Eric Christensen in case you're curious) wrote this little gem and sent it in...
As a side note, I only pulled this into Photoshop to save it as a JPG from a TIFF. I did not change the word on the button. That's how it displayed."

Of course, what Eric and Ryan weren't clueful enough to figure out was that this dialog actually comes from the MacReporter dockling, not Mac OS X's Software Update system.
Anyway, definitely worth a laugh. ;-)
