iWork is my favorite app!

ByMike Moffit

I have been enamored with iWork since Keynote first came out. Keynote was so superior to Powerpoint, that I’ve stuck with it ever since I first used it in a presentation. I was in a group of 4 speakers (others all on Windows laptops running Powerpoint) and my presentation was so beautiful compared to the others. I have been hooked ever since!

What I really like about using Pages and Keynote that if I need something quick, that looks great and not like I rushed, I just choose an appropriate template. In the time that it takes me to type “A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” I have a finished document.

There are several web sites that iWork users will find handy. The first is the iWork Users Group . The other two that I’ll mention here are sites that have additional templates available. iWorkCommunity is a template exchange site and KeynotePro has both free and paid templates.

iWork continues to be one of the best software values on the market – two applications for $79.

  • Our Alltop Info Center

    It can be daunting to try to stay on top of the endless flow of information available online. Among other tools, I use Google Reader, Socialite, and email alerts to stay on top of the topics that interest me. I recently started using “Alltop.com”:http://my.alltop.com/smalldogelectronics to help with this.

    Alltop says its purpose is to help you answer the question, “What’s happening?” in “all the topics” that interest you. They do this by collecting the headlines of the latest stories from the best sites and blogs that cover a topic. They then group these collections — “aggregations” — into individual web pages. Then they display the five most recent headlines of the information sources as well as their first paragraph.

    We created an Alltop so we could stay on top of the latest Apple news. Many of us make it habit to get to work and fire up our page first thing in the morning. Click here to see our Apple-news themed Alltop page, or to create your own! “Alltop.com”:http://my.alltop.com/smalldogelectronics

  • Fenway Pahk Turns 100!

    In honor of the Red Sox’ home opener tonight at “*Fenway Park*”:http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/bos/ballpark/index.jsp (or “Pahk” as the true locals say), it’s a fitting time to celebrate 100 years of baseball in the historic ballpark.

    On April 20, 1912, the Red Sox hosted the New York Highlanders, who would soon become the Yankees (and arch rivals) the next year. The Red Sox won the game 7-6, battling through 11 innings. (Also of note: the game and stadium fanfare was overshadowed by the recent sinking of the Titanic.) Of course, the Red Sox went on to win their first World Series that year.

    Today, Fenway Park is known for the Green Monster (the unusually high left field fence), and other eccentricities, such as “The Triangle” and the “Pesky Pole,” and is one of two “classic” ballparks still in use. (The other is Wrigley Field, Don’s favorite.)

    Tonight, they take on the Tampa Bay Rays. April is here, and baseball is back. Game on!
