OK, another blog post to pimp a Red Giant product. To those who wish for a little more balance between these kinds of posts and my more philosophical rants, I hear you. But Red Giant’s been busy, and I think a lot of you are going to like this. ...

Plastic Bullet

Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR. Plastic Bullet is now live in the iTunes app store! Red Giant’s first iPhone app, my first iPhone app. I’m kinda excited about this. If you’ve ever shot with a Lomo, a Holga, a Diana, or an...

Adobe CS5

If you stopped me on the street and asked me what I find compelling about Adobe Creative Suite 5, here’s what I’d say:
