:: Have A White Xmas With LotsaSnow

LotsaSnowLotsaSnow is a free screensaver for your Mac that will make snowflakes that fall down your Mac’s screen.

Each snowflake is actually unique, and also that it uses a quite a bit of processing power. It is my gift of information and the developers gift of bringing us Mac users a cool winter screensaver.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday to all!

By the way Buster is loving his new iPaw! Maybe next year Santa will bring him a new iMutt…

:: Build A Website With No Experience

Rapidweaver ThemesBuilding a website for your small business, organization or a personal web page for blogging, pictures, or announcements has never been easier. There are so many easy to use solutions that do not require extensive knowledge of HTML or CSS. OK, did I lose you already? What is HTML (hyperlink-markup-language) or CSS (cascading-style-sheets)? Well forget those for now. Here is some solutions for getting up a nice site without knowing any of of this.

Three of the competing and best applications for the “drag and drop” experience on the Mac for building a site without dealing with HTML, CSS, or any other coding are iWeb $79 (part of Apple’s iLife), RapidWeaver $39.95, and Karelia Sandvox Standard version $49, Pro version $79. All of these applications deserve a look. All three of these applications have the choice of templates and modules for putting together nice looking web pages. The sites these applications can built can be easily uploaded to a .Mac account or another web server launching your new website. These applications make not only building a site for a non-techie a snap, but also allows you to maintain and add content. Putting up pictures, audio, video, podcasts are all very popular these days giving any user an audience to hear their voice on the web.

:: Kyocera KR1 Using EVDO For WiFi Anywhere

KR1 RouterThe Kyocera KR1 Mobile Router ($219.99 with $50 Mail-In-Rebate) allows you to create a wireless broadband network virtually anywhere. It uses 1xEV-DO as its WAN backhaul and functions like an access point supporting multiple computers and devices with high-speed wireless (WiFi). All you need is a 1xEV-DO card or phone*. The KR1 Mobile Router is especially useful for mobile work groups such as dispatch teams, consultants, road-warrior sales groups, satellite offices, command posts, and more. It can also be used as a reliable alternative for fixed broadband services in your home.

As I am pretty sure the wireless telcos like Verizon, Sprint and Cingular may not like this device, you may. If you have a EVDO card and account with a wireless provider why keep the “goodies” to yourself, how about sharing that broadband connection?

*Please refer to your service provider for detailed feature information and service terms.
