Mac Mania on the high seas
I just got back from teaching Photoshop on a Geek Cruise in the Caribbean and am totally psyched about the experience. Like any cruise, it's not cheap; but if you can afford it, it's well worth the money. The best thing is that you get a chance to really get to know the instructors, so you can pick their brains outside of the scheduled classes. There's a special Geek Cruise for Mac users in February 2006, Mac Mania IV, co-hosted by MacWorld. Speakers include Steve Wozniak (Apple employee no. 1), Chris Breen, Jack Davis, Bruce Fraser, Andy Ihnatko, Deke McClelland, Bert Monroy, and more. Mac Mania IV runs concurrently with the Photoshop Fling III cruise, so there are classes on Photoshop and digital photography, as well as Mac topics. The cruise leaves from San Diego and stops in Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. If you want to see what a Geek cruise is like, take a look at this video trailer for Geeks on Board, a documentary about the Geek cruising experience. It's truly geeky.Share
