Aperture can export *some* of the metadata associated with your images quickly & easily. It can’t, however, reimport that data nor can it export all of the metadata from your images.

The first one will export the metadata for all selected file. It will save the data to a text file with [...]
I use Smart Playlists to load my iPhone. One of my smart playlists is songs that are rated 4 or 5 stars. Currently that amounts to 337 songs and 2.5GB. I don’t want to put 2.GB of music onto my iPhone (I do need room for photos, apps, movies, and audiobooks!). To limit the number [...]
I tend to buy stuff from the iTunes Store. I’ll bet that a lot of you do as well. I like iTunes’ backup ability, but I don’t need a backup of all of my music nor do I want to burn a stack of DVDs when I just purchased a couple of albums.

Let me give you 10 reasons…
Snapshot Aperture
Current version: 02
Built on: Aperture 2.1
This AppleScript allows you to select a number of Aperture Projects to export complete with master images. If a selected Project does not have all of its images online, the script will not export it and will tell you about it once it is done exporting the other Projects. [...]
Aperture 2.1 can now export full Projects with masters consolidated!
Wicked cool!
No sample script yet, but I wanted to shout out this great new feature-
Lift/Stamp Date
Current version: 02
Built on: Aperture 2.0.1
This AppleScript operates on the current selection.
This script will perform a lift/stamp on the selected images’ dates. It will (obviously) only lift a single date but will stamp onto the entire selection. It will try to adjust the master files’ dates if possible, but will settle for just adjusting [...]
I’m going to take an in-depth look into Mac OS X Leopard’s new External Accounts feature…
