Mac Journal from Macheist

Works pretty well for a novice like me but my image did not post in the prior post??

I will have to work on it.

In any event the MacHeist for $19.00 is a great value for me...check it out maybe the apps will work for you. 5 days left.

Working with the MacHeist Nano Bundle

This is the Mac journal software package. My first thought is to see how well it will post to my blogs.

Blackberry Storm OUT Droid IN !!


I have suffered for over a year now with the Blackberry Storm. Hard to believe that an "iPhone killer" could be nothing like an iPhone..? In fact the Storm, in my opinion, has got to be the biggest phone flop of all time.

I couldn't wait until my renewal date to ditched the Storm. So when the Droid was released, I hopped all over it!! So far so good. It isn't without foibles. The email program locks up once a day. Actually, a number of apps will lock up the phone. I can live w/ its problems, I couldn't live w/ the Storm.

The droid screen is great. Battery life is just OK. Lots of fun apps..many free. The docking station, for 30.00 extra is worthwhile.

Funny thing, I sold the Storm on Craigslist for $150.00 even after I told the guy it was the worst phone I have ever had. ( I told him he should look at the Droid ) I hope he has a better experience w/ the Storm than I did.

Nice to have a second opinion when it comes to viruses.

So, what exactly is MacHeist?

It begins with the missions....

MacHeist's missions are an opportunity for our members to live out some of those secret agent fantasies, including mission briefings, simulated web espionage, and a storyline packed with tech-mystery intrigue, while earning free Mac software.

Over 300,000 MacHeist members have experienced the Mac themed, puzzle filled missions, receiving millions of dollars worth of free Mac software so far.

....but it all ends with the MacHeist bundle

The MacHeist bundle was introduced in December 2006 to huge success within the Macintosh community. The software bundle offered 10 of the Mac indie development community's best offerings, and was available at the end of the MacHeist promotion for one week.

The bundle was called the greatest Mac software deal in history, and has never been available since then. Customers snapped up over 16,000 copies, and donated 25% of their purchase to various charities. After over $190,000 was raised by customers by the end of the sale, MacHeist topped it off and $200,000 was raised in total.

But we didn't stop there... in 2007 we held MacHeist II and it became the biggest Mac shareware event ever. Quite possibly the biggest software event ever on any platform.

We had more of everything: more missions, more puzzles, more free Mac software, and more of you... and the community grew to become one of the largest Mac communities on the net!

Then we topped it off with a truly amazing deal... 14 Top Mac apps worth right around $500 for the same low $49 price. How did it do? Well, we sold over 44,000 bundles and $500,000 was raised for charity. Truly amazing!

Now we’re back in full-force with MacHeist 3, and we’re here to bring you the most spectacular Mac software event in history.

For further information, we recommend the MacHeist member created Wiki.

Talk to your ITouch! Use Skype / Long Distance Phone Calls with your ITouch. Dictate with your ITouch..etc

I was very happy to find out that my I-Touch (2nd gen) will work with a 3.5mm Stereo headphone/mic jack! I tested it w/ the Griffin Italk lite and Skype. Both worked but the Skype connection duplex ed and was a bit weird. As you can see( on the left..Italk lite ) the volume bar has moved and so does the record counter!!

The mike / earbud combo I am using even has a pause button that works. I can listen to music..press the button ... switch to chat..press the button..back to where I left off in music.

I looked online and did not find much info on this and maybe it is ho hum, but this can be handy for dictation and is not advertised as a feature on the Apple site.

Also..The way to take a screen capture on your ITouch is to press the home button and power button at the same time.
