My Favorite Software and Gadgets
Like everyone else I have a lot of software and gadgets that I use daily and really like as well and I get a lot of questions about what I use for different things. Here is a list over my favorite software and gadgets for their specific purposes.

Friday App Tip: BannerZest Pro
I came across a cool Mac application the other day from a french company called Aquafadas that basically lets you create flash galleries, slideshows and banners on the fly! The application is called BannerZest Pro and is available for $49 for a standard version and $129 for the pro version from today and on! I have a review up of the program right here so check it all out!
Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac is shipping!
Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac is now from today and on shipping! Adobe has skipped the whole version 5 and now made the newest version 6 available on Mac as well as on Windows, leveling out the version differences. Elements 6 is really a brand new software from the previous versions and it is a really welcome release.
The pricing sets at $90 for the full new version of Photoshop Elements 6 and if you are upgrading from a previous version of the program, you can get the upgrade for $70. You can purchase the program over at the Adobe website.
MacHeist - Software for charity!
I found out about this site on the NAPP Forums from Bryan Sproles called MacHeist and it is apprently their second year of doing this. Their mission is to raise money for charity and as of this writing they have raised over $190,000 with an amazing 17,000+ bundles of software packages sold. So the deal is; you buy the software bundle containing the apps for $50 and certain per cent of that goes to charity. It’s a fixed bundle containing the following apps; 1Password, CoverSutra, Cha-Ching, iStopMotion, Awaken, Speed Download, AppZapper, TaskPaper, CSSEdit, Snapz Pro X, Pixelmator and right now they’ve also thrown in an extra game called Wingnuts 2 and the Tiki Wiki Minigolf. That’s some seriously cool apps for only $50 where the retail price of them together would be over $400! So even if you are just interested in like Snapz Pro or Pixelmator, then you’ve saved some money when you buy it for $50, plus you get more apps and you donate to charity.
Myself, I just got the package today since it is a good deal and I’ll actually use a lot of the programs (and mostly the ones prized higher than $50 anyway, like Snapz Pro) and I also donated to charity.
