Make your Macs And PCs work together (for a change)
by Kevin Schmitt
You all remember Mad Libs, that wacky, nutty book game where you filled in words to make the story as humorous as possible, right? I don't think I've even seen a book of Mad Libs since the fifth grade, and at that time it took all of about thirty seconds before my friends and I, for added fun, would forego all semblance of originality and creativity and head straight for the naughty words. Anyway, wouldn't it be nice if we played a quick game of Mad Libs before we moved on to the actual informative portion of this article? Feel free to print this out and actually write in the words.
Digital color wheel and color scheme assistant (Mac Classic and OS X)
by David Nagel
What is a good color scheme for a design or presentation? Colors that don't clash, of course. All right, maybe there's a little more to it than this, but, at the bare minimum, you want to be certain to produce harmonious color schemes in your work. But let's face it: Not all designers have training in color theory, and even those who do can't calculate complex harmonious color schemes in their heads, especially when analog and digital use differing color models (RYB versus RGB). And using a traditional color wheel isn't going to give you any kind of precision either. I mean, how are you going to figure out the exact color complement to R 255, G 129, B 33? And if you can figure it out in your head, how long is it going to take you to experiment with variations?

New 'operating system of the future' can make sound, pictures
by David Nagel
If it's good enough for Regis Philbin, it's good enough for video, audio and design professionals. That was the message out of New York last week as Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates officially launched the new era in personal computing with the release of Windows XP.
Free Web download fixes save problems
by David Nagel
Toon Boom Technologies has released a new beta of its Toon Boom Studio animation suite. The latest version is designed to fix a problem that prevented the application from working properly in Mac OS X 10.1. It also seems to fix a problem with pressure support from graphics tablets, although Toon Boom never acknowledged the problem in the first place. The new release is freely accessible to registered users of Toon Boom Studio for Mac OS X via the product Web site.
Pressure-sensitive LCD pen tablet
by David Nagel
Writers who specialize creative technology get the best toys to play with. We get more software than we could possibly use, and we also get first dibs on some pretty amazing hardware—everything from digital projectors to computer workstations to printers and cameras. And, on rare occasions, we get to put our greasy, pizza-encrusted hands on hardware so powerful, so drool-inducing that it ought to be taboo for anyone to touch it without some sort of government exemption or papal mandate. Such is the case with the Cintiq 15X from Wacom.
