You may already be making books and cards using the built-in capabilities of iPhoto. But there are other sources out there for making books too. Blurb is a piece of software you download to your computer. It’s for Mac and Windows. Then you paste images and text, you can resize images, you can format text, [...]
One of the things that never ceases to amaze me about my work is that just when I think I’ve seen everything that can go wrong with a Mac, something new and crazy comes along. Well, that was sure the case today: an Entourage Web Services Edition user could suddenly no longer connect to her [...]
We just finished a big job for a client: She had tens of thousands of image files on her Mac, and most of them were duplicates, which she wanted to eliminate. But the duplicates were not always named the same, nor were they always the same file size, or even the same type of file. [...]
Do you have hundreds of Word or text documents scattered all over your desktop, each one with a nugget of information, or last week’s meeting notes, or contents of an article you want to save for possible future reference? And then you realize that you’ll never be able to find the contents from any one [...]
What do you do when your Entourage email database gets huge? The best thing to do is to archive some of it. For example, perhaps every January you’d like to archive all emails older than 2 years. Well there are 2 different easy ways to do it. A program that’s been around for years and [...]
I wanted a way to be able to update my Facebook profile, my Facebook IvanExpert fan page, and my Twitter feed all at once–and to be able to choose, on a post-by-post basis, where I wanted the posts to display.

It’s that time of year, when everybody sends out cards to friends and family. Or in our case, we send out cards to a select list of clients and colleagues. We use Mail Merge to do it. If you have your address book in Entourage, it’s easy to create a mailing list and format it [...]
If you’re not aware of what RSS is, or how it can be used, I’ll let you know how I find it useful. I follow a lot of blogs each day: The majority are tech- and Mac-related, and then there are some written by friends of mine, and a few craft-related blogs, and then of [...]
I just tried out SnowChecker, a free piece of software that goes through your applications and tells you whether the software you have, and the versions you have, are compatible with Snow Leopard. It’s a great idea, since it’s nice to know ahead of time what kind of headaches you’ll be in for–whether you need [...]
The 3.0 version of 1Password for Mac just came out–it is still in beta (test) version, but it’s stable enough to use regularly. And it’s the only version that works with Snow Leopard. I recently installed it and have been putting it through some paces. It looks much fancier, including mini icons for most of [...]
