iPhoto Custom Photo Books
If you're an iPhoto book fan, you'll be happy to know that now through June 3rd (or June 8th with Express Shipping) you can get 20% off on custom photo books and cards in honor of Father's Day.

I find that these iPhoto books make great portfolios at a fairly reasonable price when you compare them to printing & binding at your local Kinkos. And the cards can be used as "thank you" cards after your interview or upon completion of client work.

Adobe InDesign & OSX 10.5.3
With Apple's release of 10.5.3 earlier this week (which updated perfectly on all the systems I installed it on, and works fine with all Adobe print-related apps), some of the Nav Services crashes in Adobe InDesign have been fixed. Tim Cole discusses it further in this blog post over at the InDesign BackChannel.
