MacUpdate Spring Bundle

May 28, 2009 in Mac, Software with 0 Comments

Mac friends, I know what you are thinking, not another software bundle, I was thinking the same thing, until I saw what’s in this one.

One of my favorite all time techy tools kits has been the amazing Tech Tools Pro. I’ve used it a number of times to diagnose problems on my computers and on friends machines. I’ve been meaning to upgrade my copy, and now I can get it, plus more. In addition to Tech Tools, the bundle includes: Parallels, Notebook (another piece of software I use everyday), RipIt, and NetBarrier just to name a few. At only $49.99 it’s well worth the cost.


Hard Drive Spring Cleaning

April 24, 2009 in Featured, HouseKeeping, Mac, pc, Software with 0 Comments

Maybe you have a once a yer cleaning ritual, or maybe you are just running out of space on the hard drive that you were sure was way bigger than you needed when you initially bought the machine. Whatever the case, you probably find yourself wondering where to start. Where did all your gigabytes go anyway? That’s where JDiskReport comes in. The software is easy and intuitive. After you install it, it will do a scan of whatever directory tree you specify and then come up with an easy to understand pie chart showing where your precious space has gone. You can click through the tree structure on the left or on the pie chart to the right to drill down into the cluttered depths of your hard drive.

The only thing I wish it could do is delete the files/directories from within the program, but that is not a hard drawback to get over in such a handy piece of freeware.

The best news? Not only is it free, but since it is based on java, it is available on Windows, Mac (though with a decidedly Windows look and feel), or even over the web.  Just check out their site for all the details!

MacHeist is Back

For all the Mac users out there, one of the best Mac bundles is back.  Mac Heist unveiled their bundle tonight.  There some great stuff in there. I really recommend it.  At only $39 you can’t miss.  There some great image software that I know I will use a lot.  There is also an application to access files on your iPhone or iPod touch.  There’s also some fun games that I’m sure my kids will enjoy.

I’m hoping they get enough people to unlock Boinx TV, if you can get that for $39 it’s an unbelieveable deal.

It’s over a $550 value for $39.  You can’t beat it.

YouVersion Online Bible

YouVersion

YouVersion.com calls itself a revolutionary online Bible, and I it definitely lives up to the claim. It’s part social network and part online Bible. At the base of it, it’s an online Bible that allows you to post your own notes and thoughts on a passage. You can use this to organize your own study notes or even links and pictures, but the real power is you can share it others. This is where the social part comes in. You can have “friends” that you can share your thoughts and notes with. I haven’t really gotten into this yet, but it’s really cool. (My user name is crd55 if you want to be my friend)

The other power in YouVersion is the mobile version they have. It really gives you a useable Bible where ever you are. Most services out there either have great functionality or great content. But YouVersion has both. to use, and has translations that I really want to use (I’m a TNIV and Message guy myself, and both are there). It easy I’ve used it on a windows mobile phone and an iPhone and it’s great. In fact they even have a iPhone app you can install. This is probably what I like best about it.

Also did I mention that it’s free?

It’s definitely worth taking a look.

Here’s their video demo of their iPhone app:
