![]() If you like new music, you can do a google search to find your favorite artists web site, a new music web site, or an archive of free music. The major labels are killing themselves with their restrictive distribution and dissemination policies. Well, guess what? I won't buy it unless I can listen to it first. The major labels want you to pay for their product - letting you hear it for free is contrary to their business model. Artists want you to hear their music - If you like it, you'll buy it. Where do I get all this stuff? I find a lot of free (actually free) music by visiting several of the new music web sites out there. Here's a list of some of the music I recently acquired. At a fraction of PhotoShop's cost, this photo editor puts a huge wrench in your toolbox. Always on the cutting edge, an absolute must in any web developers tool box.

I've been singing GC's praises for many years now, and I'm not sure I would do without it. I use it to convert image formats into web standard formats, to create and edit image maps and other graphics. A fantastic piece of shareware that is well worth the price ($34.95). GraphicConverter is an image converter and editor. The developer of this fantastic application released a new beta version (6.0.4b0), in the past few days. This beta release contained a handful of bug fixes, but no updated or new features. This release marks the incremental advance of beta releases. Another product that's always getting better. One of my favorite pieces of software recently released an update. Made by Garmin, Kim took her time researching the purchase of this Nüvi 350. Kim and I plan to use it in both of our vehicles.

So that both of us can access the entire library. It'll take me some time, but I'm planning to make our iTunes library more accessible. It served me well over the last four years, but the battery is suffering greatly at this point. Two gifts warrant a mention in my 'techno-geek' blog. As part of my reward, I raked in a couple of nerd toys this holiday season. Maybe we'll see you in the months to come.Īpparently, I was a good boy this year. We wish we could make a trip out to see all our friends and family, but that's not going to happen this year. We sincerely hope that you and your family have a joyous time during the next few days, and throughout the year to come. As mentioned earlier, Kim and I would like to take the opportunity to wish all our visitors a 'Happy Holiday' season.
