Hardware Review: Doxie Go Scanner from Apparent Corporation
After HMAUS members at Macworld|iWorld spread their Aloha at the Apparent booth, along with a few chocolate covered Mac nuts, Apparent responded by offering HMAUS a free Doxie Go Scanner. With very little friendly persuasion, Apparent donated two units to HMAUS, one to give away at Springfest 2012, and one [...]...

Buoy Tags is another product I have had a recent chance to sample. They attach to your MagSafe, USB, and/or headphone cords to better identify who they belong to. On a recent episode of the Home Work podcast I had the pleasure of guesting on, Dave Caolo mentioned that a conference trick he used involved marking his such items with a red dot to easily identify which was his. This seems like a bit more elegant and easier to see solution. They have worked out great for my wife and I to tell who’s...

Justnotes is a recently released app for Mac that is designed to be the one true native app interface for Simplenote. I’ve been beta testing it for a while and it works great. It’s fast, never experiences any sync issues, natively supports Simplenote features like tags and favorites, and can synchronize your notes with a local folder of plaintext files.
Worth a shot if you have been looking for a more Simplenote like solution for the desktop. Plus, it’s on sale for 40% off for a limited t...

- EdgeCase11 May 2012, 2:02 pm
EdgeCase:
The app creates Fitts’ Law infinite width screen edges for your OS X multiple monitors.
As you probably know, screen edges are a great place to put pointing targets because it’s impossible to “overshoot” them with your mouse cursor. That’s why the Mac menubar and Dock are on screen edges or (even better) in a screen corner. Unfortunately, when you’re using multiple monitors, your mouse bleeds through into the other monitor.
EdgeCase stops your cursor at the screen edge, s...

Not only does this book tell you how to go paperless, it also shows you.

- OnePAD is a new notebook app for iOS that is organized around...9 May 2012, 4:51 am
OnePAD is a new notebook app for iOS that is organized around the idea of using one page for each day. I know lots of folks that are day driven and/or keep paper notebooks this way — allocating a page for each day.
What I find most interesting is that, by organizing by date, one could easily use it for journalling, morning pages, or leaving notes for future dates.
There is a built in search function and quick ways to jump back to today’s note or navigate to a specific date.
It also has a ple...

- Why My iPad Is Not My Laptop8 May 2012, 3:27 am
Why My iPad Is Not My Laptop:
I can wholeheartedly agree that the iPad is an increasingly great tool to gather ideas, write stories/articles, and stay in touch but for the time being this is where the road unfortunately ends. For many, including myself, the iPad is still not much more than a high tech note pad.
Counterpoint to all of the recent “iPad is the new laptop” chatter that has bubbled up lately. He makes some good points.
That said, there is no right or wrong here. If an iPad work...

- External Link: Bad Backup Nearly Obliterated “Toy Story 2”14 May 2012, 6:11 pm
We frequently harp on not only keeping data backups, but on ensuring that your backups are good. (That’s why Adam Engst has designated every Friday the 13th as International Verify Your Backups Day.) It’s inconvenient to lose some recent files or email messages, but a good backup policy is even more essential for larger projects — like an entire movie, for example. Two people involved explain how Pixar nearly lost a year’s worth of work on the movie “Toy Story 2” after someone accide...
