The tagline at the web site for the Acoustica CD Label Maker is, “Software should be easy to use.” Acoustica follows through. Their label maker is the best one on the market right now. I just found it last night and in about one minute I had printed an awesome label, insert, and cover for Paul Simon’s Negotiations and Love Songs: 1971 - 1986. I’ve been looking for a good cd label / booklet printing program for (literally!) years and I’ve finally found one. I highly recommend this piece of software.

Movable Type Modifications
Two Tricks from the MT Support Forum:
Of course if you are using CSS to its fullest, you can create printer-friendly pages by simply changing stylesheets. There is a tutorial at Evolt that explains how.

CDs
CD-Writer.com is a faboo site for all your cd-recording needs. They have links to all kinds of great stuff. It must be a British site, since everything appears to be in pounds, but it warrants closer inspection. I’m looking for some good cd-sleeve printing software (again). Does anyone have a favorite program?
The EZSleeves web site is awesome, by the way. You can create your own CD sleeves there using Flash. It’s very cool.

Photograph
My dad is a gifted photographer. He takes some of the most amazing photos I’ve ever seen. He recently acquired a digital camera and has been having a ball with it, I know. He has had several of his prints sell at art houses scattered across Rhode Island; they’re really that good.
For a while - when his printer and scanner were both working - he was making notecards from his photos and they sold well, too. We’ve been trying to find a way for him to sell some of his stuff on-line, and PrintOnClick might work. Apparently they will allow you to host images on your own site and include a link so readers can buy 8×10s (or any size you specify) of the digital file from their site. It seems like a pretty good concept, and I know there is some hassle involved in actually getting digital photos into a format (i.e. a physical, paper print) that a grandmother can hold and frame. I’m going to look into their terms and conditions, but everything appears to be quite legitimate.
My dad takes amazing photos.
I have dozens of his photos on my hard drive(s), and I know he has - literally - hundreds of them on CDs and floppies and filed and stored away at his home in Portsmouth, RI. I’m also thinking about making a blog for him to post his favorites. MovableType is certainly simple enough that I could teach him how to upload the files and write captions or something.

Print Screen
Ever wanted to take a snapshot of your screen? Well, hit the ‘Print Scrn’ key and a bitmap will be placed onto your clipboard. You know the clipboard - it’s that mysterious Microsoft netherworld where things go temporarily when you hit Edit | Copy or Edit | Cut.
Open up your favorite image editor, and then Edit | Paste it as a new image, and edit to your heart’s content. Then save it (or do whatever you want to do with it).
You probably already knew all that, right? … But did you also know that if you pushed ‘Alt’ and ‘PrintScrn’ that it would capture only the active window? Ha ha!

business cards
The business cards I ordered a couple of weeks ago arrived this weekend. Several people have asked me about them, and I even saw a link at Le Blogeur, so I thought I’d let you know that the cards are really cool. They look professional, the advertisment on the back is small and unobtrusive, and the color is fantastic.
