Quark Promote- Part 2

July 25, 2010

A couple months ago I did a post on Quark Promote. Quark Promote is a free, easy-to-use software for owners and employees of small businesses that need a fast way to produce affordable, high-quality marketing materials. I try writing about products and services that I have used or use regularly and after posting the piece, I did use their services to create some new business cards. Read the rest by Little Elf Dan...

Sheep’s Feet and Marlinspikes

July 22, 2010

Growing up I always wanted a Swiss Army knife. Not the simple kind with the blade, toothpick and tweezers. I wanted the one with everything, even what I would never use. I did eventually get one, but not until I was much older. When the family used to go hiking in the Dolomites in Northern Italy we were equipped with an all purpose Opinel knife. Like many French blades it is indestructible (and beieve me, my complimenting the French is almost unheard of). Read the rest at The Dapper Dad.

KidsSave

June 10, 2010

I have a 6 and 8 year old. They, like most kids their age, think that everything is free, or Mommy and Daddy will just get them what they want. But we have been trying to teach them the value of money and show them how to save it.

Seesmic Vs Echofon

June 8, 2010

For me, I tweet 80% of the time on my iPhone. There are many Twitter apps available for the iPhone. The two I have settled in with, and go back and forth between, are Seesmic and Echofon.

Evernote: Remember Everything

May 17, 2010

I surf the web a lot. If I am not gathering content for this site, I am getting information for my other job that pays the mortgage. In the past when I ran upon something interesting that I needed to save, I would cut and paste it into a word document or write down the website url on a piece of paper. This method is cumbersome and isn’t very transportable. Carrying around a flash drive or multiple pieces of paper is a pain in the booty! All this changed for me when I started using Evernote.

Need a Logo, Let Hatchwise Handle It

April 15, 2010

I have been through the process of designing a logo for a company. We were fortunate that we knew a person who had design experience and was able to create out logo for a small fee. But if we had gone to a graphic design company, the costs would have been ten times what we paid. But with the advent of the commercial design software, amateur designs are not able to match the designs that large design companies produce. Read more…
