If you found a copy of Scrivener laying in a field, would you assume...?

I can't help with Google's new scheme, but to save you a few keystrokes in your image searching, it's spelled "naked" not "nekkid."

A quick note for those testing/trying/being-tried-by Bento. A new beta was posted today on the website.

Well, maybe you can just sell the old kitchen table.

I much prefer ArtRage 2...Though it doesn't have the "everything's still smooth when you zoom in" thing, the way it simulates natural media is, I think, superb. ArtRage is nice, but you can get a full OEM set of Painter X for $35 on ebay, and the integration with Photoshop is nicer. (Of c...

So, all you need to do now is code up ScrivCell, and ScrivPoint, and maybe ScrivXChange and a database. You didn't really want to write that book anyway, right?

I installed the drivers so I can use the volume and eject keys with the MacBook but some people refuse to use a keyboard that requires installed drivers. Is there any reason for this? Of course there's a reason. Some people are silly. :) Actually, since every keyboard requires installed drivers, it...

£49 for free delivery on most books, DVDs and games? I must spend three times that a year on Amazon deliveries... Are they just getting Prime up in the UK? They started over here about a year ago. As a long-time customer, they gave me a free six month Prime membership, and while it was nice, I did...

I agree with that. The switch to CS marked a pretty radical change in Adobe's software design. Photoshop's latest interface feels excessively over-thought and clumsy. I much prefer version 7 or even 6. I forget where, but last week I read a bit featuring Adobe's lead developer for PS. He stated his...

But I don't buy Adobe products. I was shocked to read your mail, that Photoshop and Illustrator won't be upgraded for Leopard. Unbelievable, and what a way to treat customers! Of course, it's only CS2 versions of Photoshop and Illustrator that won't be upgraded. CS3 installs of both programs work v...

Poking about this morning I came upon this review by Rick LePage for the documentary Helvetica. I'm more of a Formata guy, myself, but the film sounds like fun for all font freaks...

I don't like using MS Word, but find I need to keep a copy about to work with odd files from others. I currently have Mac Office X, but this offer will almost surely be less expensive than updating that copy in January. For Friday, 11/23, MS is offering a $100 rebate on any version of Mac Office OS ...

For a film reference, A Hard Day's Night makes reference to a clean old man on a fairly regular basis. And the music's not too bad, either.

Hmm...doing a definition search, "Forging" comes across as "to make falsely."
