Just found this — a really nice collection of stories from Will Yurman of The Rochester (N.Y.) Democrat and Chronicle, from October 2006:
My Body Myself
First, the subject matter is stuff women think about all the time, starting at an early age. The audio interviews are great, well edited, and just so personal … wonderful.
Second, the [...]
In an online video tutorial, Richard Hernandez introduces you to how to use three online photo-presentation programs: SimpleViewer (free!), MonoSlideShow ($20 U.S.), and SWF ‘n Slide Pro ($65 U.S.).
Last month Richard treated us to a tutorial about the ubiquitous (and beloved) Soundslides ($40 U.S.), and then another tutorial about how to build “chaptered” Soundslides.
