All Pages, All the Time

April 23, 2010 by Lorraine Barte Nepomuceno 7 Comments

Some time ago, I decided to say goodbye to Microsoft Office forever, and completely switch over to Pages and Keynote. It was an easy decision for me: I wasn’t a heavy Office user anyway, preferring to keep most of my documents online, and using the application primarily to open client .doc files and the occasional […]

iPhone Apps I Love: Everyday Food

April 16, 2010 by Lorraine Barte Nepomuceno Leave a Comment

Joke as much as you like about Martha Stewart, the lady is a powerhouse. No, I never thought her face would be one I’d see so often on on my iPhone, but that was before I discovered Martha’s Everyday Food App, which I now officially cannot live without. Everyone has to eat, everyday, and if […]

iPhone Apps I Love: WordPress

March 31, 2010 by Lorraine Barte Nepomuceno 4 Comments

You might think otherwise, but I actually use very few iPhone apps on a daily basis. Here’s one I use several times a day, though: WordPress for iPhone. If you run or write for a WordPress-powered blog (both self-hosted WP and .com are supported), this app is a no-brainer. Not only does it allow you […]

Why an iPod Shuffle?

March 30, 2010 by Lorraine Barte Nepomuceno 4 Comments

Music, music, everywhere. It’s how I like my life, which is why we have music in every room in our home- from our bedroom to our kitchen to our bathroom (because there’s nothing quite like showering to Yo-Yo Ma after a long, tiring day). To accomplish this, we’ve always had various stereo system and boom […]

Fonts: Which are Necessary?

March 26, 2010 by Lorraine Barte Nepomuceno 5 Comments

When I organize fonts on my Mac, I like to keep a special category for System and Application fonts that should always be active (i.e. the “necessary” ones), and all the rest (as a print and web designer, I have a lot) in several categories that I turn on and off according to my needs. […]

Reading on Ibis

March 22, 2010 by Lorraine Barte Nepomuceno 1 Comment

I don’t have a Kindle, and while I save up for an iPad, I still need my reading fix. Lately, I’ve been doing it mostly at Ibis Reader, an “e-book reading system” that works on desktops, laptops and smartphones. Now, public domain books are not a new thing online- remember when you first discovered Project […]

iPhone Apps I Love: Relax Alarm Pro

March 16, 2010 by Lorraine Barte Nepomuceno Leave a Comment

There’s always been something strange about me and alarm clocks: in College- and, I’ll admit, even way past that- I required no less than three clocks to get me up, each one set about a minute apart. I’ve been known to turn an alarm off and go back to sleep, and not remember a thing […]

iPhone Apps I Love: Momento

March 16, 2010 by Lorraine Barte Nepomuceno 1 Comment

Christopher Nolan’s Memento is one of my favorite films, and it’s what came to mind when I first learned of Momento, a journal writing iPhone app that’s quickly become my virtual “diary” of choice. See, I’ve been journaling since I was 5 years old- I have boxes full of almost every kind of diary, from […]

iPhone Apps I Love: Newsie

March 13, 2010 by Lorraine Barte Nepomuceno Leave a Comment

What are the first pages you load when you fire up your browser in the morning? For me, it’s Gmail and Google Reader (yes, I am quite dependent on the almighty G). Of course, that’s for mornings when I actually have time to enjoy a cup of coffee in front of my desktop, that is. […]

Lit2Go on iTunes

March 11, 2010 by Lorraine Barte Nepomuceno Leave a Comment

I was an English Literature Major, so you’ll understand if I’m more than just a little excited about my new find on the iTunes Store: it’s called Lit2Go, and it’s a collection of classic stories and poems, yours to download and listen to for free. There’s a good selection, with something for almost everybody, from […]

Addictive & Awesome: More Cupcakes App

March 8, 2010 by Lorraine Barte Nepomuceno 1 Comment

I bake and sell cupcakes “in real life”, so I didn’t think I would be too impressed with the More Cupcakes app for the iPhone / iPod Touch. I was wrong. I love this app. Here’s how it works: Choose your cupcake batter. White, Yellow, Chocolate, Strawberry or Carrot. Set your baking time. Burn them […]

Help Me Buy 2 New Macs

March 4, 2010 by Lorraine Barte Nepomuceno 2 Comments

Buying new Macs. Now I know my geekiness is shining through again, but the truth is that few other phrases can fill me with such excitement. Sometimes, the mere anticipation of getting a new Mac is almost more exciting than actually buying one. Almost. It’s like this: because my husband and I are such firm […]

Putting Your iPod Touch / iPhone on Kitchen Duty

February 25, 2010 by Lorraine Barte Nepomuceno 3 Comments

If, like me, you spend a lot of time in the kitchen, you might want to bring along your iPod Touch or iPhone. No more hauling around heavy cookbooks or having to find the space for a tv with a huge footprint- from recipes in text documents to videos of Julia Child, you’ve got it […]

OSX Tools for Video Podcasting

February 25, 2010 by Lorraine Barte Nepomuceno Leave a Comment

I create video tutorials on a regular basis for Tubetorial, and do it all on my Macbook. When I first got started, I used my PC and the excellent Camtasia, but since I’m so much more productive on my Mac, I thought I would give it a try one day- and I never looked back. […]

Hot New Wedding Venue: The Apple Store?

February 24, 2010 by Lorraine Barte Nepomuceno Leave a Comment

Have you heard about the couple who got married at the Apple Store? New Yorkers Joshua Li and Ya Ting Li decided to tie the knot at the (admittedly gorgeous) Fifth Avenue Store: The vows took place one minute into Valentine’s Day, and included a minister dressed similarly to Steve Jobs. The rings were presented […]
