This is a new page where I will post questions I receive frequently or that I perceive as particularly relevant. I think it’s important to see we’re not alone in our work, our questions, or maybe even our frustrations. Hopefully we can both learn from and help each other. Don’t hesitate to comment if you have additional insight on a question or answer that’s presented.

What is Pandora and Slacker?
Good question! I answer that here. Hope you enjoy them if you try them.
Are there photos or is there video footage that is super high quality for use?
The short answer is yes, but if you want free images or videos make sure to use images operating under a license that makes them legal for your use (see Creative Commons Licensing). Once that’s confirmed, check out the 2 posts here and here for places to find images. I’ll need to take a look regarding videos (particularly for the specific person that asked since I know your needs). Keep an eye out under the “Free Stuff” category for more as it is posted.
How do I keep my Vista machine in top working condition without a subscription to Norton or McAfee?
You definitely need anti-virus software, but there is a free version for home use that works just fine (see link below). This, along with 2-3 other tasks I recommend will go a long way toward keeping the machine working faster and more as you expect. The biggest issue with most PC’s is junk files, registry muck and virus/adware/spyware concerns. Performing the tasks in the following three posts will cover a lot of these issues: Basic Maintenance, Cleaning Your Cache, Anti-Virus Software. You can find more maintenance posts under the “Maintaining Your Computer” category.
Is the sync with MobileMe function between multiple MacBook Pro machines running 10.5 really the bomb?
