MacVoices #10129: Joe Kissell Finally Takes Control of Your Paperless Office

After writing books and articles that touched on the topic, Mac expert Joe Kissell has released Take Control of Your Paperless Office, a handbook to accomplish the task. Blending a high-level approach to going paperless with some very practical and self-developed techniques, Joe talks about what scanners to buy, what software you need to help organize your documents and ways to store you documents locally and in the cloud. Joe covers workflows that work, how to avoid barriers that might doom your attempt to rid yourself of paper clutter, and why this was one of the most fun Take Control book he’s written yet.

MacVoices #10128: Deke McClelland Goes One on One with Adobe Illustrator CS5 and More

Graphics master Deke McClelland is back in a bonus-length visit to talk about his new book, Adobe Illustrator CS5 One-on-One, his background with vector programs, and the differences between working with vectors vs. pixels. Deke provides some real-world examples of the power of Illustrator, talks about when it is the right tool for the job, and how moving projects back and forth between Illustrator and Photoshop lets you tap the strengths of both programs. Not just a written-word author, Deke also has Illustrator CS5 One-on-One Fundamentals video training available from lynda.com, and talks about how and why he took to video, the benefits of that format, and how he and lynda.com are hoping to continue improving it. Illustrator’s Live Paint, Live Trace, Deke’s selection of cool, non-boring projects in the education process, and some updates and changes to his many projects are all part of the conversation with one of the best graphics trainers around.

MacVoices #10127: Sharon Zardetto Takes Control of Safari 5

Sharon Zardetto‘s latest release is Take Control of Safari 5, and she joins us to talk about the new features, big and small in this version of Apple’s web browser. Leading the pack in the “big” category is Reader, a function that makes web page content more legible and accessible by changing it to a standard size, type and style while stripping out a web site’s ads, navigation and more. While good for web surfers, publishers and advertisers haven’t exactly welcomed the feature. Sharon discusses this struggle, along with the other big new Safari feature, Extensions, by talking about their functionality, the two ways to get them, and some of her favorites.
