iSkin: Protecting the Products we Love

Recently, I received a box in the mail with a few iSkin products to play with. It’s been a few days or so now so I figured it was time for me to post my thoughts on the ones I got to experiment with. All in all, I am very impressed with most of the products I have seen over at iskin.com. I have some thoughts based on my personal usage, but for the most part, I think they have got a cool thing going on over there. Here’s what I played with: [Continued]

Cadie’s first 6 Months (in 30 mins or less)

Yes! I’m a sucker for my kid but how cool is it to be able to upload a bunch of random pics and have them put together so well in 30 minutes or less?

Dang! this is cool and what kid wouldn’t want their face plastered on the interwebs in this way? I uploaded, I bought and I’m sold!

Animoto… (and Viddler too) You rock! Thank you!

Question - iMovie 08

Here at iboughtamac are happy to field questions from our readers. This question came from Deborah.

I love iMovie 08 and have been surfing the net about it after having
completed one video project so far. Read one article on your site that had
an initial review, but… is there any new info on add-ons for iMovie 08? I
would just like more transitions, ANY video (special) effects, etc. Is it
possible to use add-ons (special effects,etc.) that worked with old versions
of iMovie? If so, how do I go about it?

This is a great question, many of the iMovie purists think that iMovie 06HD was so much better, and that is not truly the case. iMovie 08 is much more different. Unfortunately plugins are not supported in iMovie 08; however as an owner of iMovie 08, you are entitled to download iMovie 6 HD for free. That can be downloaded here,

If you go that route, you can get some iMovie 6 plugins . I have found a pretty good list here or here.

Making your own movies is always fun, and I find it interesting to go back to the movies I first made, and see the progress that I have made. Hope this has helped.

Good luck

So, I’m sitting here watching the (freaking amazing) closing cerimonies of the olympics in Beijing and I am reminded of another summer back in 1984. I thought I would share my experience. Travel back with me for a minute… [Continued]
