Need to Make Your Magic Mouse More Comfortable?
April 13, 2010
Screenshot from http://mmfixed.com/
If you have had problems with Apple’s Magic Mouse causing fatigue you may want to try this. I haven’t had too much of a problem but I think I will give it a try. The cost is reasonable ($12 at the time of this posting) and it may give me more comfort while working so why not.
UPDATE
After receiving my MMFix I tried it and while it does improve the feel of the mouse mine keeps coming off. This may be just a defect in my particular MMFix? I’m sure that the guy that designed and sells the MMFix isn’t trying to rip people off and if it’s not just that mine had a defect and he receives more reports of them not staying on he will improve the design. I feel that he’s the type of person that really just wanted to solve a problem and share the solution with others.
UPDATE 2
MMFix has contacted me and said that there was a batch that didn’t suction correctly and that a new MMFix has been shipped to me.

Our WACO 360 Panoramic Work Shown on General Aviation News
February 22, 2010
General Aviation News has a post about WACO’s new YMF-5D 360° cockpit virtual tours! This has been a great project to do. Very interesting subject matter. The WACO biplanes are true works of art. It’s not often these days that you see that kind of craftsmanship.

Waco Aircraft Factory Photos
February 7, 2010
I am posting some of the normal photos I took when we were at WACO Classic Aircraft Corporation doing a 360 degree photography panoramic shoot of cockpits for them. You just don’t see quality craftsmanship like this anymore! Just amazing work! You have to see these wooden wing frames that are made the way they use to be for the biplanes in the 30′s by real craftsmen!
Amazing craftsmanship! You have to see it in person to realize how well it is made and to what extent the attention to detail is!
A view of a whole wing structure. Craftsmanship and attention to detail like you wouldn't believe!
Lacking the color treatment of the other photos posted in the posting but you get to see the pretty vibrant red! 
Pictures of Photoshop Editing of Airplane Cockpit for 360 Pano
February 2, 2010
Here are a couple of iPhone shots of my workspace while I was working on 360 panoramic shots of a biplanes cockpit. See post before this one. Just thought I would post this for those interested in graphic design and photography. I sometimes find things like this inspirational.
We are going back in a few days to shoot another and possibly other normal photography shots.
Stay tuned because I might have some exciting news on this project in the future! Also when the 360′s are done and up on the sites I will post links.
To see some of our other high quality 360 panoramics click here. We will be adding more of our high quality 360 panoramics for your viewing soon!
Our Latest 360 Panoramic Photo Shoot
January 31, 2010
One of our most challenging 360 panoramic shoots yet. We have been hired to do panoramics in airplane cockpits. Although these shoots are more difficult I like shoots like this because of the problems to solve. There’s something really rewarding about troubleshooting shoots like this and getting the captures we need! I know there will be more post processing when doing these type of shoots but I also enjoy troubleshooting on that end of things. We will be going back for more shoots and may be doing a timelapse of the building of a airplane. Maybe some aerial shots in the future also? When this project is done I will post the aircraft companies name and web address.
Check out some of our high quality full screen 360 degree panoramics at our site! We will be updating our site with many more of our panoramics hopefully soon.

Stay tuned, we may have some exciting news on this project in the future!
Note – Photos below were shot and uploaded with my iPhone so quality may not be great. If I get time in the future I will post higher quality photos from a real camera. Also I am posting this from my iPhone to try out my WordPress iPhone app.
Adobe TV

A new resource to check out for Adobe CS3 tips!
Adobe TV looks like a pretty good start of something good. I have only watched a couple of videos so far but they were good and had some good CS3 tips. Like a YouTube channel for Adobe it looks like it will be a good tutorial resource. I’m glad that Adobe is heading this direction.
