An author’s view of iBook Author

A New Way For Photographers To Self-Publish by scottbourne on the Photofocus site.

The key points:

  • traditional publishers take a lot more than 30%
  • tradtonal publishers want exclusivity
  • it is really hard to get a book deal with traditional publishers

The iBook platform cuts through all that.

Why would you pay these people?

24 January 2012 Leave a comment

In 2015, however, Windows Phone will account for 16.7 percent of the smartphones shipped, up from less than 2 percent in 2011, according to the IHS iSuppli Mobile & Wireless Communications Service at information and analysis provider IHS (NYSE: IHS).

Somehow Windows phone is going to jump from 1.9% of the market in 2011 to 16.7 in 2015. How or why is not really explained in the article. There is  a self referential quote by the author on the hotness of the Nokia 900 at CES and some support from a IHS  co-worker.

What it really shows that IHS is not an information and analysis provider  but a provider of public relations stories. Which is why I suppose you buy their services.

Journal: 15 March 2011 – Revision

15 March 2011 Leave a comment

Reason I had another session with Reason/Record and I am becoming comfortable with it. I always liked the sound of Reason so I will focus on using Record/Reason as my principle DAW. This will enable me to concentrate on one technology and not wander around the new pieces of gear.

The revision in today’s title comes from pulling out all my Reason resources and going over them to really understand the program. I am also going over the lessons in “Composing Music” by William Russo.

Nucleus Sound Lab is releasing a new refill concentrating on guitar sounds. Not the standard patch but seriously well twisted and very usable.

Podcast Listening to Dr KEWL. The name is so right.
