Yesterday I reviewed FotoMagico fro Boinx Software. Below is a short example of the kind of thing you can do with software. I took the beginning of yesterdays podcast and matched some pictures and graphics to go with the sound file. All of this took about 30 minutes to make. Enjoy it.

Here is a Flickr Set of my Podcasting Studio in case you ever wondered.

When is the “Beach Ball of Death” NOT bad news?

When you decide to take control of your Mac applicaiton using Freeze Frame by Elgebar Studio.

This application uses the power of UNIX (that’s right folks OS X is UNIX) to be able to “Freeze” an application on purpose. For example, when I”m using Sound Track Pro to create Apple Loops, my CPU gets slammed. What if I was already downloading a bit torrent and I really wanted to give more CPU to the torrent application without quitting Sound Track Pro.

Freeze Frame let’s you freeze the application with one click on a icon. Now, the system does think that the application is frozen so you will get the spinning ball and the “Not Responding” message. However the application is not really frozen. This is Freeze Frame’s way of telling you it’s working.

Try Freeze Frame yourself today and turn that “Spinning Beach Ball of Death” into a friend not always your enemy.

Our good friends at Tom Bihn are going to make someone’s day a little better in December. In association with the Typical Mac User Podcast they are going to give one lucky winner a brand new Brain Bag (see picture below). This is an awesome $140.00 professional lap-top backpack.

To win, just send an email to me, telling me why you want to win the Tom Bihn. The email address is typicalmacuser (At) gmail(dot) com.

I will announce the winner during the show on December 6th. If you hear your name announced as the winner during that show, then write me another email to claim your prize.
