Put an end to password madness!

It’s time to revisit one of the biggest problems faced by all of us.  I’ve written about it before and even reviewed a couple of products that purport to solve the problem. But, either my words fall on deaf ears (or aren’t even heard in the first place) because it keeps rearing it’s ugly head.…

Make Some PDF Magic!

It’s hard to imagine how we would do business these days without PDF files.  The humble PDF file format is the basis for electronic documents that can be opened by Macs, PCs, iPads, iPhones, Android phones, windows based phones and probably extraterrestrials! Just kidding about that last one, but you get the idea.  The PDF…

Make 2014 Your Best Year Ever by Changing One Thing That You Do (or don’t do!)
