ebooks for ipad Dec 8, 11, 12:06 p.m.

Anyone purchasing any ebooks for their ipad?

I'd like to start buying digital books instead of collecting piles of paper.

Apple seems to be charging full price (vs. Amazon and Google's regular 30%), which is just ridiculous (should be cheaper, given no printing costs).

Anyone have experience buying/uploading?

I am particularly interested in photography books (so lots of color).

Watches under $200 Dec 3, 11, 6:02 a.m.

Looking for good, minimal, tasteful designs under $200. So far I am finding Nixon, Skagen and the usuals (Seiko, etc.).

Any other ideas?

[what happened to the watch thread?? Or did the search just completely fail?]

Aluminum iPhone case Nov 17, 11, 3:47 p.m.

Anyone have an aluminum case for their iPhone 4? Just got the upgrade and would like some protection, but don't want a massive rubber blob.

Something like this (I thought it was posted but couldn't find it):

Multiple Backup Software Oct 26, 11, 5:36 p.m.

Can anyone recommend software (PC) that you can specific exactly what to backup and where?

I have an external drive I want to backup to another external drive (separate from my regular backups).

[I would think most software would do this, but I am locked into Momeo, which has 0 flexibility]

Photoshop Compositing Jul 27, 11, 1:50 p.m.

Looking for good examples of photographs using some kind of composited pieces (other photos, 3D, etc.)

Any behind-the-scenes or tutorials would be great too.

Thanks!

Some examples:

Thought we could consolidate posts of nice cases here. Some I am looking at:

Apps watching you Jan 2, 11, 7:05 a.m.

Just read this in the Wall Street Journal yesterday:

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB…

Anyone else concerned? I am not one to download many apps, but this makes me apprehensive to download any.

iPad 2? Dec 28, 10, 2:04 p.m.

Wait for the new one? Any good alternatives (without a subscription, I have a phone)? I know a ton were coming on the market but haven't heard any real reviews (that don't stink). Doesn't seem like there is much that is near the standard.

Looks to be coming out soon...maybe...

Signage Dec 18, 10, 6:13 a.m.

Looking for good examples (and/or companies), ideally 3D signs/monuments - think apartments complexes, office complexes, colleges, etc.

Thanks

Backup Software Nov 16, 10, 7:48 a.m.

I just got a new Seagate drive not realizing that they've gotten rid of the software that came with Maxtor drives (for FREE) and worked well.

Memeo is horrible, not allowing you to schedule backups and seemingly unreliable.

Anyone have any good software suggestions for backup software? (PC)

Skateboards Nov 9, 10, 8:58 p.m.

It's been a long, long time since I bought a skate board (back before these long board things, when Tony Hawk was a kid on Powell-Peralta, too far back to mention). My nephew wants one and I'd like to get him started with something good.

Suggestions for online places to buy? Brands?

Thanks

Looking for good architecture firm logos...

Carpentry/Construction Logos Mar 9, 10, 7:32 p.m.

Looking for any good carpentry or construction logos/designs.

Any suggestions?

Valentine's Photography Inspiration Jan 20, 10, 9:43 a.m.

Looking for interesting and creative valentine's day photography. Something more unique than Victoria's Secret.

Any suggestions?

Time management software Jan 8, 10, 11:01 a.m.

Looking for time management software for PC. Something like iClocker - just a click and records time, click and it stops, not full project management.

Found a few on CNET, but wondering if anyone has suggestions for something simple.

Saving Websites Dec 19, 09, 6:43 a.m.

I am trying to find a way to archive a site as it is seen online, ideally as a PDF.

Acrobat and CutePDF save the pages as links, not as it is seen (am I missing something?).

Anyone have any suggestions (short of just taking screen shots)?

D300Svs.7D vs D700vs.5DMkII Nov 7, 09, 6:07 a.m.

After enjoying the debate on the 7D, I thought I'd toss in my dilemma and see if anyone had thoughts (or rather, cared to share them).

I am looking for a semi-pro camera (mostly starting, but will be taking pics for clients soon), currently I have a Nikon D80, but only a kit lens, so jumping to Canon doesn't pose a problem.

I was hoping the Nikon D800 would be out by xmas, but it looks more like next summer, otherwise that would be my choice (assuming the specs are comparable to the 5DMkII).
I can't wait another 7-8 months.

I am leaning towards the 7D or 5DMkII, but am not sure the full frame is worth it (as I'll be only using it for client work here and there). Maybe a 7D and upgrade to a 5DMkIII in a year or two?

Money is always a concern, but the purchase would be part of a project, so not as large a concern as if it were just for fun.

Thanks

Framed Photographs/Art Oct 29, 09, 7:10 a.m.

Looking for photos of framed work, on a gallery wall for example.

I will be framing some work soon and would like to find some ideas for nice framing.

Thanks

Exporting Illustrator Oct 4, 09, 1:01 p.m.

This has driven me mad for ages:

How do you only export the artboard only (at a high resolution)? When I have hidden artwork off of the artboard it exports the entire area, so when you open the jpg there is a foot of white space around one of the sides.

Any ideas?
