Mac OS (R) X Tiger (TM)About the Author

Brian Tiemann is a freelance technology columnist and software engineer who has written extensively in online magazines about the Macintosh, Apple software, and the philosophy of user-friendly design that has always been synonymous with them. A creative professional in the graphic arts and web design world as well as in networking and software quality, he uses Mac OS X because of its Unix-based stability underlying the powerful built-in creative tools that let him bring his graphics, music, movies, and photography to life.

Having been a Mac user for nearly 20 years, Brian has observed Apple's growth from a maker of simple personal computers to the powerhouse of film production, digital music, online lifestyle, and publishing that it is today. A graduate of Caltech, author of Mac OS X Panther in a Snap, and coauthor of FreeBSD Unleashed and Sams Teach Yourself FreeBSD in 24 Hours, Brian enjoys animation, motorcycles, photography, technological gadgets, the outdoors, and writing about them all.
