YML Macworld 2007 Hotel Info!

Always on the lookout for great deals for our listeners, Your Mac Life is very pleased to announce that the Pickwick Hotel will be the "official hotel of YML" (and our new home away from home) during Macworld Conference & Expo 2007 in San Francisco, and we want to invite all of our listeners to join us there this coming January!

YML has teamed up once again with our good friends at IDG to offer what we believe is a terrific deal for our listeners. If you're interested in a hotel that's just 2 blocks away from the Moscone, that offers complimentary high speed internet access and is just $139/night (single or double occupancy), read on.......

The Graphic Reporter's Tip of the Week

On last night's show I talked about how to turn friends and loved ones to stone. That's right, it's time to release your inner Medusa. Seriously, it's a neat techinque spotlighting how layers interact with one another when you change their blend mode. Hope you enjoy the tutorial!

Until next week, may the force be with you. And maybe by then, I'll be almost caught up on emails. If you've written in the last few weeks and you've heard nary a peep, please bear with me :)

Photoplus Expo and CT

This week on Your Mac Life, sponsored by Griffin Technology, RadTech and Circus Ponies - "Photoplus Expo and CT"

Make sure you listen in this and every Wednesday evening from 5:30pm to 8pm PT or from 8:30pm to 11pm ET, for the most fun you'll have listening to your Mac.

But none of the above applies to tonight's show. :)

Tonight's Your Mac Life is from the brand new home base of Westport, Connecticut!

Unfortunately, The new studio still isn't set up so tonight's show will be not quite live - actually, it won't be live at all. :(

On the way back from London, Your Mac Life stopped off in New York City to attend the PhotoPlus Expo. THere were vendors of all kinds - from people selling point and shoot cameras to Kodak giving away rolls of film to Nikon with a lens so big, you'd need 2 assistants to carry it!

We sat down to chat with OnOne Software, The New England School of Photography Pentax. We also took all kinds of photos of the show and New York itself.

Click here for the pics from the Expo

Lesa Snider will have her iStockphoto Graphics Tip of the Week and both Shawn and Lesa will talk about their adventures and thoughts on the Photoplus Expo.

If you have any questions or comments, please send them to Your Mac Life ([email protected]).

Make sure you listen in this and every Wednesday evening from 5:30pm to 8pm PT or from 8:30pm to 11pm ET, for the most fun you'll have listening to your Mac.

Back up all those important files, playlists, photo albums...
Wanna make it simple, grab SuperDuper for doing incremental backups. It's the best $27 I've spent in a looooong time.

I Hate Hotels.....
Show is done...and it's a good one (well, it's 3.5 hrs long - so it's a long one!)....but, as nice as the Sheraton Manhattan is, its internet access *blows rocks*. :(

We're getting around 17k upload speeds at the hotel right now. So the show will be uploaded in about 2 more hrs. :(

Keep an eye on this web page to see when it's ready or sign up to our Archive Mailing List to find out the instant it becomes available.

Send an email to shawn at yourmaclife.com with "Archive" in the Subject Line and we'll send you an email later tonight....or early Thursday morning.... :(
