Logic Studio (2?) and Final Cut Studio 3, PPC Support Dropped

Logic Studio Box
While on a visit to one of my favorite Apple blogs, The Unofficial Apple Weblog (Tuaw), trying to find out more about a possible Mac tablet through Verizon rumor, I discovered that new versions of my favorite music and video production software had been released. I was rather surprised by this discovery as the time frame it took for Logic 7 to get an update to 8 was several years. I immediately visited the Apple website to check out the new features for Logic 9.

iTunes 8.2.1 and the Palm Pre

iTunes and the Palm Pre
With the new iTunes 8.2.1 update the (very unofficial) ability to sync the Palm Pre with iTunes is now broken. I don’t think this move really surprised any.

Espresso, a cool piece of software

MacRabbit's Espresso
While in the midst of my on going site redesign, I decided to to give MacRabbit’s Espresso a try. Currently, I mainly have been using Panic’s Coda at home to do my work, and I still mostly use Dreamweaver CS3 on a PC (ugh…) at work. I have to say, after using Dreamweaver for so long it took me a few days to adjust to using Coda, but I soon fell in love with it. After developing my first site with Coda I became completely hooked on it. When I read that the makers of CSS Edit were making a similar product, I was immediately interested in trying it out. However, as I had just recently switched Coda and was still in the process of really getting to know it well, I decided to wait a bit. Partly because I wasn’t really ready to try out something new yet and partly because it was a brand new product. I figured I’d wait for them to iron out some of the wrinkles before trying it out. Tonight I decided to give it a try, and I’m really liking what I’m seeing.
