I’m sure I have mentioned this before, but I am a fan of the Mac Power Users podcast with David Sparks and Katie Floyd. Recently in episode 93, there was an excellent workflow episode with Fraser Speirs[1]. The episode is about technology in education, and while it is a bit iPad-and-Mac-focused, I think it is […]
Continue readingOver the years, I seem to have picked up a reputation as being “anti-paper”[1]. Sometimes when I go to conferences or meet people and they hand me a piece of paper, they apologize. “I’m sorry, I know you hate paper…” The truth is, I don’t hate paper at all.

Continue readingSo, there’s this guy named David Sparks. He’s a lawyer, sure, but he also runs an incredibly useful website called MacSparky, and I am not just saying that because my iPhone’s home screen is Internet-famous there.

Continue readingI have been listening to podcasts for a long, long time[1]. These days, most of my favorites come from the 5by5 Network. In fact, if I sat down and calculated it, during the week I probably hear Dan Benjamin’s voice more than my wife’s. One of the best shows on the network is Back To […]
Continue readingBack in November, I held a four-week online class for a group of awesome DocumentSnap readers who wanted to take action on going paperless. I called it the Paperless Action Plan. The class went really well, and the feedback from that first course was extremely helpful. I’m happy to announce that I am re-opening the […]
Continue readingOne of my favorite things about writing DocumentSnap is interacting with all the awesome readers. You all do such interesting things. One such reader is Clare Kumar from Streamlife. Clare is a Professional Organizer, which in itself isn’t too unusual for DocumentSnap readers, but she is also the Organizing Expert for the Marilyn Denis Show, […]
Continue readingHaving your PDF documents with you on the go can be extremely handy, and a growing way to do that is with a tablet. However, when I say tablet, I am not just talking about the usual suspects like the iPad, Android, or even the new Kindle Fire. Many people don’t realize that you can […]
