01 8 Apps for Musicians, Pro or not
The iPad seems to have become wildly popular among both
performance musicians and studio technicians alike. I
recently watch a live performance where the group was using
the Yamaha sound board, and the sound guy was walking around
the audience running the sound board. Now that's cool! So, I
decided to look into that genre of iOS apps. Among the best
are:
* AmpliTube for iPad
* DP Control
* MIDI Monitor
* AmpKit
* LS9 StageMix
* M7CL StageMix
* MIDI Memo Recorder ...
and even
* MorphWiz from the music community icon Jordan Rudess!

03 Easy photo enhancement

attractive quickly and easily, without spending a lot of
time and money on learning, purchasing, and using
professional photo manipulation software.

04 Artboard Mac OS vector drawing program
Many do not need the power of Adobe Illustrator - yet
want the ease and accuracy of vector drawing as opposed to
bit-map drowing like Photoshop. Artboard can fill this void
for most users! Artboard is a popular Mac OS vector drawing
program that makes it easy to design logos, posters,
technical drawings and more.

tool to create and show interactive presentations on your
iPad: Import existing presentations as a pdf or images,
integrate videos and set hyperlinks for a truly

06 When to teach kids financial skills?
As a father of three and
founder of Kidworth, Rudy DeFelice is familiar with the
issue of when parents should start addressing kids'
financial literacy. The answer may surprise some.

07 Over 30 Utilities for Mac
The actual title of this post is:
"30+ Awesome Utilities to Boost Your Mac's Functionality"
it was written by Joshua Johnson on August 9th 2011 for the
appstorm.net web site. Yes, it is yet another list. But I
love lists that give me new applications or apps for short.
There are several here that are new to me, especially if you
count the ones in the comment section.
