A lot of folks ask me what I am working on these days.

My answer is typically the same:  Making my mom into a programmer.

Once I say this, I get some strange looks.

Then I remind them what it was like 20 years ago to create professional quality photographs, modify them (crop, red eye, etc.) and then create a personalized photobook.

I remind them what it was like 20 years ago to create a professional quality multi-track musical recording and distribute this to a broad audience.

I remind them what it was like 20 years ago to shoot, edit, and release a quality video production.

Back in 1987, this was the domain of 'professionals' in these fields.

Today, this is the domain of anyone with iLife.

Programming as art.  Programming for my mom.  That is what I am working on.
