i would love if there were tutorials on quartz composer. it seems like an amazing and flexible application, but i'll be buggered if i can work out how to use it

Good idea. Been on my list for a while. Need to get the time...

actually Quartz Composer is NOT an application, but rather a graphics development environment included to Mac OS Developer Kit! BUT YES PLEASE PLEASE TUTOR US WITH ONE OF YOUR GREAT TUTORIALS!!! Why use an application if you can use quartz composer.. I watched some vjs a while back doing all in QC...
