How to Produce a Great Video Tutorial
Some very handy hints on creating a tutorial screencast over at AETuts.

New Mac Centre in Surry Hills
I’ve long been a customer of Mac Centre in Sydney, and now it’s moved to a perilously convenient location: the corner of Foveaux and Commonwealth streets. The lure of software and sandwiches from Taste may prove my downfall.
