I hate scanning almost as much as I hate printing, and I really hate printing. I hate dragging out my Fuji ScanSnap scanner. I hate making room on my desk for all the unscanned papers and for the ones that shoot out of the scanner. I hate fighting with getting the pages into the scanner […]

Rowenta VU2660 is the Best Fan I’ve Ever Owned
People think of California as a really hot place and are always surprised when they come here and realize that the coastal areas really aren’t that hot. The weather people here have a standard line they replay most days: “Early morning low clouds, followed by hazy afternoon sunshine.” We can stay at a pretty much […]

Affinity Publisher Beta – First Look
As you’re well aware, I’m a fan of the Affinity products from a company called Serif. They first came out with Affinity Photo as a challenger to Adobe’s Photoshop.

Three iPad Apps to Entertain a Toddler
I remember when we had little kids, we just didn’t have nice stuff. What was the point, right? Everything was going to be covered in jelly and thrown around without discrimination. But now, our youngest child, Kyle, is 27 and he hardly ever throws his toys in the house anymore. These days, we sorta don’t […]

Free Products in Return for an Amazon Review
ReviewMate shows incentivized reviews boost ratings significantly I’ve always tried to be ethical in my reviews that I do for the NosillaCast. If I’ve received a unit or software for free, I tell you that up front. I also tell you that I believe my reviews are not influenced by whether I paid for a […]

CCATP #561 – Bart Busschots on PBS 61 of X — Bootstrap Jumbotrons & Badges
In this week’s installment, Bart explains how to create two simple Bootstrap components, the Jumbotron and badges. A Jumbotron is a show-case area at the top of a website’s front page that shouts out the site’s main message and usually has a call to action. Badges are the little bubbles next to titles or within […]
