Ok… So, I got quite a lot of pressure today to open a CafePress Store after posting Cadie’s onesie pics. So, I took my sheets of iron-on’s and the art I had made for the iBAM Tees and uploaded the whole sha-bang to CP for anyone to posses. That said, if you want one of Cadie’s onesies, a semi-spendy front only printed tee or a pretty cool mug, swing by and do your worst. I’ll try to add more stuff as I think of it (or as you suggest it). All proceeds will go to help out here at iBAM. Just remember that if you buy something, please send me a link to a pic of you and/or your iBAM swag. I really geek out over that stuff! Rock on!

Have you heard about Picik? It’s one of the coolest things I have seen in a very long time. I am a long time Photoshop user and will be for quite a while longer, but in my dealings with clients of my design services, I have one re-occurring issue that rears it’s ugly head nearly every time I complete a project.

“I don’t have Photoshop, so how do I edit photos for my new website?”

Previously, I would be forced to recommend one of several options that were met with all sorts of responses. Here are snippets from some of my conversations: [Continued]

I was sitting on my couch listening to last.fm today and thought to myself, “It would sure be cool to use my AirPort Express and AirTunes to hear these tracks over my nice living room stereo”. The only thing I can do us play iTunes through there… That sucks! [Continued]

Recently I was invited into the private beta for Mint. An online financial management software. At first I was amazed how easy it was to use and get my information into the program. The displays are absolutely beautiful and the UI is just stellar! The only problem was I couldn’t blog about it since it was a private beta. Well, that is officially over! Today, they have launched their public offering and I have to say that I’m very proud to be part of the announcing crew. Mint is completely free and truly is the next generation for online banking and financial advice. It’s worth at least a stop by and tour just to see what it can do. I can’t wait to play with it some more. Thanks guys for a great app!

Did you check it out? What did you think?

UPDATE: Mint won the $50,000 prize at TechCrunch40 today. Congrats Mint! You deserve it!

Okay, it’s a weekend and I’ve had a long week so this post is one to add to the “Pointless Post” category. Startrail is a application by Pawn Software, but I wouldn’t call it an “Essential App” by any means. It’s just one of those things that you get to waste time and that’s about it. Startrail is a simple little app that puts a trail of stars (go figure) behind your mouse. It’s kind of like a firework or something. Anyway, if you have some time to kill and want something that will be a friend during those “no brain activity” moments. Here you go.
