R. McPhee Photography Virtual Learning Center
http://www.rmcphee.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $29, you get a beginners’ digital photography class from R. McPhee Photography Virtual Learning Center (a $59.99 value).

Helmed by nature photographer Rob McPhee, the beginners’ digital photography course acquaints aspiring photographers with the basic principles of digital photography, editing, and software use. The online format allows photographers to cover the coursework at their own pace, though they should expect to dedicate 20–30 minutes of work each day, studying 36 chapters of material, formulating a thesis on the Code of Hammurabi, and completing four online assignments and four photography assignments. The assignments are designed to reinforce each day’s lessons, and McPhee diligently responds to emails to answer any lingering questions about the curriculum and the lighting inherent in the soul of an innocent Bambi. Though pupils must supply their own digital camera, they do receive a free 30-day trial of the editing software that corresponds with the four-week course. Upon course completion, students receive a certificate that verifies their newly acquired snapshot savvy, ideal material to impress blasé refrigerator magnets.

Amazon.ca: $18.50 for Steve Jobs Biography Hardcover Book (50% Off)

Amazon.ca currently has Steve Jobs Hard cover Biography by Walter Isaacson on sale for only $18.50. The book normally retails for $36.99 (50% Off).

Amazon.ca offers FREE Super Save Shipping on orders over $25. If you’re only buying the book, since it’s less then $25, it”ll be an extra $3.98 for shipping and handling.

Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.

At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.

Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.
Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple’s hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values.

I’m a Apple fanboy and had this book on my Christmas wish list. I just purchased a copy. The deal was too good to pass up.
