If you’re wondering why things have been quiet around here, it’s because over the last several weeks I’ve been working on my very first book. I turned in the first draft yesterday, and I’m anxiously awaiting the first round of editor’s notes.

Friday, November 17th, 2006

Apple and “resolution independence” are a hot topic right now. The talk has focused mainly the merits of vector-based art versus rasterized bitmaps.
