Macworld! Free Passes! Celebrity Demo!

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

mw_logo_web.gifIt’s New Year’s Eve, which means we are working furiously to get ready for next week’s Macworld Expo in San Francisco. We’ll be at our booth, #407 in the South Hall of the Moscone Center, January 6 – 9, 2009.

(I have to start getting used to typing 2009…)

We’ll be showing off the latest version of PDFpen 4, as well as DiscLabel and TextExpander. Please do come by to see us and to check out the newest features of our software. (And we will have candy!)

If you don’t have an Exhibit Hall pass yet, we still have some to giveaway. Just use this link to register for the show. January 4, Sunday, is the last day to take advantage of these free passes. The number is limited, so don’t delay.

I am excited to announce that Don McAllister, the host and producer of ScreenCastsOnline, will be in the SmileOnMyMac booth on Thursday, January 8, from 2 pm to 3 pm, to talk about the Mac Switcher Bundle. The bundle is a great collection of software (TextExpander, 1Password and Witch) plus a special series of ScreenCastsOnline video tutorials aimed at helping new Mac users get the most out of their Macs.

DonMcAllister1106.jpgDon will be doing short demos of the Mac Switcher Bundle software, as well as showing off ScreenCastsOnline. He’s definitely achieved Mac celebrity status with his best-of-class video tutorials and his frequent appearances on Mac Break Weekly, MacVoices, Mac Roundtable, and many others. You can hear Don on a special episode of MacVoices with me, 1Password developer Roustem Karimov and Witch developer Peter Maurer.

Don was also a faculty member on the Geek Cruise last month, and achieved celebrity status on the ship when the crew thought he was missing in Santorini. (It turns out their card readers were faulty–he was, in fact, aboard. He even has proof. You can hear the whole story on this episode of Mac Roundtable…)

DiscLabel: Video Tutorial Now Available

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

If you want to know more about the powerful design and printing capabilities of DiscLabel, check out the series of video tutorials we just posted on our website.

Produced by Don McAllister of ScreenCastsOnline, this series covers new design creation, iTunes and iPhoto integration, design editing, using special effects and clip art, among other topics. It’s a fantastic introduction to DiscLabel, but even experienced DiscLabel users may learn something they didn’t know.

I also highly recommend checking out ScreenCastsOnline. It’s a terrifically informative series of Mac-related tutorials. There are free tutorials that you can subscribe to via iTunes. There is also a ScreenCastsOnline Extra! membership that entitles you to view the entire library of screencasts as well as special members-only content.

I have been an Extra! member for several months. Don’s tutorials have gotten me through lots of tricky stuff on the Mac, including upgrading to Leopard. He really does have a gift for knowing how much detail to provide–enough so that you do learn how to do something, but not so much that you feel overwhelmed.
