With all of the recent activity with Apple updates and software releases, this one caught me a little off guard. Apple has just released Aperture 2, and shaved a $100 off the price. (Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe it used to be around $300) If you’re a Mac user and a Photographer, this is great news. Personally, I love Aperture for RAW image processing. I think I’m finally gonna buckle down and drop the cash for it this time. Can’t wait to see what’s new!

Apparently my server’s hard drive is failing, so it’s going to have to be replaced : ( It might take up to 24 hrs, so the Box might be down for the next day or so. When I return from this dilemma, I’ve got an awesome set of vectors for everyone. See you in a day or so.

Thank you all for rolling out for the Box’s 1st Birthday contest. With over 1500 people involved, the odds weren’t in anyone’s favor, but every contest has a winner. Congratulations to Philip J., of Southern California! He was the lucky winner of the iPhone, and he so graciously sent me the image below. (ok, I asked him to). And congratulations to Sean Farrell, of Canada. He was the winner of the GoMedia vector pack! Thanks to everyone for participating, and I’m going to try and make the prizes even better next year (and more of ‘em).

If any of you have noticed anything weird lately around the Box, or are having trouble loading the RSS feeds, please give it a day or two. I just migrated BittBox to a brand new dedicated server, and it can take up to 3 days before the transition is totally done. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Workspaces are always interesting, and I’d like to give all of you a chance to share with us! You’ll find a few photos of my workspace below, but I’d like to see yours. I’ve started a BittBox User Workspaces group at Flickr where you can add your images. You can also email photos to me at contact(at)bittbox.com if you like. Once we have enough to look at I’ll make a special post. You can include your name and what you do with the photos if you wish. (makes it a little more interesting)

Remember, to add a photo to a group on flickr, first upload your image, join the group, then go to your image page and (right above your photo) click “send to group” and choose BittBox User Workspaces from the list.
