Yes, I am a geek (hence the blog name, scraps of my GEEK life). I get really excited when new software or gadgets come out. I do not care if I need them. Apple announce iLife ’09 today and it has some really really cool features. Check it out here – iLife ’09.
iPhoto ’09 – I like iPhoto, but I don’t love it. I do like the event stacks and how you can quickly scroll through it without having to open the whole folder, but since I’m used to using Picasa for Windows, I miss a lot of features. But the new faces and places features for iPhoto excites me. I am always looking for photos of certain people when I’m scrapbooking. I can’t wait to try it out and see how accurate it is. The places feature will tell you exactly where the picture was taken if your camera has GPS. I guess that will mean I may need a new camera. I told you…I love gadgets and I’m a geek. But I guess my iPhone can do that so I’ll have to make do with that for now. You can also upload directly to flickr and facebook which are the 2 places I always upload to so that is exciting.
GarageBand will teach you the piano and the guitar. Since all my kids like to play both and do not know how, that is pretty cool. I guess they use celebrities like Sting to help teach you.
I don’t use iMovie and iWeb much. Mostly because I haven’t found a use for them. I have tried iWeb and it doesn’t do enough to satisfy my needs, but this new version looks like it might work better. I want to use iMovie, but I just haven’t made the time to do it. And to be honest, I have no idea what iDVD even does. I’ve only had my Mac for a few months so I haven’t tried everything yet.
But I do know, I will definitely be upgrading to iLife ’09.
