About the author

Jeff Carlson gave up an opportunity to intern at a design firm during college because they really just wanted someone tall to play on their volleyball team. In the intervening years, he's been a designer and writer, authoring best-selling books on the Macintosh, web design, video editing, and digital photography. He's a columnist for the Seattle Times and a senior editor of the respected electronic newsletter TidBITS (www.tidbits.com), and he consumes almost too much coffee. Almost.
