Super Duper
If the biblical prophets had been cyberculture visionaries like William GIbson & Bruce Sterling, they might have named the Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse "Complete Data Loss":
"And when he opened the fifth seal, I heard the voice of the fifth living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a trojan horse! And its rider’s name was Data Loss, and Hardware Failure followed him…."

Lurking in and around my house, there is a most heinous form of pulp vermin. On my hard drive there is a folder , appropriately named "receipts", that holds PDF copies of the email receipts contained in another folder inside my mail app. In my TV cabinet, I have a drawer the size of a microwave full of 2007 receipts as well. The thought of even thinking about approaching these nests of rapidly- fading thermal-printed mayhem is so intimidating that I have been practicing the fine art of avoidance and denial.
During a particular tough practice session, I googled "best way to organize receipts" hoping to run across a magic wand that would paste up, organize, and mutate this scandalous evidence of my lifestyle into tax information.

Brian Gardner’s Revolution
Not exactly an app but I know I can’t live without it. I am trying to figure out ways to incorporate it into all my projects. My new best digital toy…
I wrote about it in our "How We Did It " page (AKA "The Apparatus"). I don’t think I heaped enough praise on this Revolution. It’s a widget-ready Wordpress-based Ezine Theme that works. No programming involved. Need help? Visit the forum. Need some custom code? Visit the forum. Think it’s over your head? Visit the forum. Not only is this Revolution user-friendly, its users are friendly as well. The forum is very active, responsive and everyone who started out asking for help has hung around to offer help.
In addition, Mr. Gardner has authored a series of video tutorials for those less-than-internet-savvy folks who want a professional looking blog.

Web rankings depend on a mysterious mix of incoming and outgoing links, the quality of said links, and content. To achieve better rankings, most people assume external links (links from other websites) are more important. The truth is internal pages actually offer more link value. Alt tags, page titles, keywords all work together to make a site search engine friendly. Even so, content is king. Search engines crave new content therefore they give more importance to sites with constantly changing content.
New content & Digg can drive enough traffic to your site to compensate for not really understanding the SEO rules of website design. Read the story »
The Computer, The Painter, The Image and His Brushes
When Dr. Michael Roach asked me if I might consider writing an article for DigitalAppleJuice, I was taken aback. I am a painter, and, one could say, a primitive, when it comes to the making of digital images. At least I used to be. Over the past five years, for a number of very practical reasons, I have become more adept at manipulating images on my Mac, Read the story »
