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. His most recent book is The iPad 2 Pocket Guide. He’s currently a columnist for the Seattle Times, a frequent contributor to Macworld, and a senior editor of TidBITS (www.tidbits.com), and he consumes almost too much coffee—almost.
