Dark Lord - The rise of Darth Vader

This is a good book, it links well between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, the writing is good and the story moves well. My only downer on it is that it's not as good as a Zahn Novel, it's not got as many plot threads as any of the Thrawn Books. Definitely worth a read, especially if you're a Star Wars nut, the last short chapter alone is worth the purchase price alone.

iPhoto 6 - first thoughts

Now I appreciate that this is probably a far larger leap than a lot of you may have made, so some of these features may have been in iPhoto 5 Full Screen editing it's excellent, with the gallery along the top and the features at the bottom, I now find it easier to focus on the photo with the black background now Keywords I use Keywords a lot they make my life a lot easier. They are now part of the main window, I did prefer them to be on a movable 'pallet' type arrangement, I could move it around at will, I don't like it fixed on the right hand side, and I certainly don't like it sharing space with the Source window, for me they both need more space. I don't like the fact that you have to go into preferences to alter, add or delete keywords, too clunk by far, why not a button on the bottom toolbar, there...
