I’ve got a really nice screencast in the works addressing many of the new features in Preview. The Leopard version of Preview has some very nice editing features for both PDFs and images. This next screencast will be my longest yet and, assuming work doesn’t get crazy, should publish in about a week. I’m also trying to get the feed permanently moved over to the new server. I know that should be easy but it seems to be vexing me.

One of the benefits of having plenty of server space is I no longer have to rubber band and scotch tape together ways of getting large fils to readers. I’ve been doing lots of back-end work on the site the last few days rebuilding links and restructuring pages. It is not completely done but getting closer. The good news is several items are much easier to access now.
Screencasts – All Resolutions, All Day
I now have the screencasts formatted for HD, AppleTV, and iPod and all conveniently available on the screencast page
Humpty Dumpty Revisited
I’ve edited the Humpty Dumpty entry. That was where I gave the law talk and Keynote to my fifth grader’s class. For all those teachers and parents interested in using this, I now have the PDF file, the Keynote and (for those OS X challenged) a clickable quicktime file for the Dell boxes. Who knows, when they see the fantastic Keynote transitions, maybe a few of them will come to the light side. Gone are the days of me sending these files to people via Pando. Now you can find them right here.

In addition to playing with iMovie 08 and some of the family video, I also used it to upload the screencasts to a YouTube Channel which you can find right here. It was very easy and I’m wondering why I never did this earlier.

There has been a brief hiatus in screencasts as a result of me having so much fun with the new iWork suite, vacation, and a lot of personal and professional commitments. Nevertheless, here is #6 in which I walk you through installation and set up of an excellent menubar clock/calendar replacement, MagiCal. Special thanks to Darren Rolfe at Macwingnut.com for helping me get the logo into a Final Cut friendly format. Enjoy!

Below you will find MacSparky Screencast #4 – OmniDazzle. This little gem gives you a variety of cursor effects useful for demonstrating on your screen, presentation work, or just to have fun.

Just type in the discount coupon “Sparkcast” at checkout from the Omni Group Website. That is $5 less than I paid.
