Jim Heid – Author, The Macintosh iLife ’09
Jim Heid is the author of the best selling book The Macintosh iLife ’09, and of course all of the preceding versions of the book. Not only is Jim an phonemal writer, but he’s also quite an accomplished photographer. In this interview Jim and I discuss how he got into the publishing business, and what sequence of events led him to create this very popular and somewhat de facto guide to all things iLife. We also dive into what makes this book different, and his overall philosophy behind computer-related instructional books.
You can find the book by clicking on the link above, or by heading over to the publisher’s page. Jim also has quite a bit of work posted on Flickr.
Also, a huge thank you goes out to Carlos Ni Ki Cruz for shooting this video and taking the time to edit it… even though he tells me he used Final Cut Pro (and not iMovie) to edit it. 
Listen to the full audio interview, after the break.

[...] 3. Jim Heid – Author, Photographer, Flickr-er There is no bigger fan of Apple’s iLife software than Jim Heid. He’s a self-described poster child for the software, and has been using it since the pre iLife days, when there was only iMovie. Jim is also the author of the extremely popular book entitled The Macintosh iLife. I met Jim during my time at Apple, and we became good friends, mainly because we’re both pretty rabid about Apple software, though we still healthily disagree on one or two points. And in this second interview with Jim Heid, we discuss how he got into the publishing business, and what sequence of events led him to create this very popular and somewhat de-facto guide to all things iLife.
