The Creative Toolbox: LiveMotion Makes Its Move on Flash

I was hyped when I first learned that Adobe was cooking up an answer to Flash, Macromedia’s convoluted but highly successful vector animation tool. When I took an early look at LiveMotion and realized Adobe decided to use ImageStyler as its starting point, my excitement turned to dismay. Adobe had an opportunity to make a […]

Gearing Up to Point and Shoot

When I bought my first freestanding fax machine two years ago, I didn’t want anything fancy, so I bought the simplest (read cheapest) model I could find on sale at Costco. This “simple” fax machine has 34 buttons, at last count (I think it sprouts more when I’m not looking). I was lucky the thing […]

Eye on the Web: Of Wind Chills and Rainfall

Having the Web at my fingertips saves me from making a lot of phone calls. If I want to know what time a movie is playing at the local multiplex, I don’t have to call the theater; I look up the show times on the Web. If I want the number of the nearest car […]

Opinion: Drupa, Blisters, and Digital Presses

It is held every five years in Dusseldorf, Germany, and is known for its size and for serving as a forum to introduce the latest technologies in printing and print related equipment. I would add that Drupa was the most sales-oriented […]

Better Benefits-On a Budget

You’d like to offer your employees more benefits than your group health insurance policy provides, but dental and vision care, life insurance, childcare, orthodontics, and more, would put a major dent in your budget. Or would they? Thanks to Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code, you can offer a flexible benefits plan and let […]

Stopping Traffic

If you want to stop traffic in cyberspace, you’ve got to put your best face forward. And this means creating not only a distinctive Web site, but also an eye-catching way to lure visitors there. That’s where a banner exchange program can come in handy. Like those big "Shop here, buy this" ads you can’t […]

Printing World: Mergers Dissolve Competition

The office equipment industry is getting a little tighter. This is an industry where original equipment manufacturer (OEM) relationships have ruled for years and alliances with third parties continue to grow. However, during the past year, a number of relationships have developed that seem to dissolve many of the competitive boundaries that once existed between […]

A Versatile Pro in Silhouette

Mark Edward Harris’s photography career has thus far proved so diverse as to defy classification. He has “been there, shot that” across a wide spectrum of subjects and genres: From traveling through more than 60 countries capturing travel/documentary shots; to shooting newspaper work for the New York Times and Los Angeles Times, to helping adorn […]
