Videos

I've started making videos on OSX for YouTube, and I will be posting them on this blog as well, so my readers will be able to find them more easily. Sorry I havent updated in a long time, but I just realized videos are better for most people than articles, so I'll be doing it this way for the most part.

If you enjoy these videos, be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel. The user is mac4tw.

Most of my videos will be made in HD, so it is much easier to see than in standard definition, and you can see them in HD or SD straight from the blog, so you don't even have to navigate to YouTube and away from this site to see them.
