Best Desktop Receipt Scanner Review!

max — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 00:01:17 +0000

Couple months earlier, I had written the “best receipt scanner” review. Well, that should have read “the best portable receipt scanner”.

I actually recommended the portable version to one of my friends who’s running his own business but he bought the “desktop” version.

Glad to say, I check it out and basically, this desktop receipt scanner had practically replaced my friend’s bookkeeper.(LITERALLY!)

On top of being about to scan 10 receipts in just 1-2 seconds, the NeatDesk 698 Desktop Scanner does a whole lot more including scanning regular documents and business cards.

The greatest part about this desktop receipt scanner is that “everything” is pretty much automated including rotating the receipts so they look good, actually scanning the receipts to separate product sub-total, taxes, and the total.

Now it doesn’t end there, you can scan as many receipts as you want and they will “automatically” be organized according to the “type” of expense whether it’s a company meal or a donation to your local charity. Plus, you have to option of getting the receipts stored as PDFs or other image formats of your liking.

Digitizing your tax documents is inevitable these days as it will save you time and money over the long run. (Read my Tax Digitizing HOWTO here)

Having a machine do most of your tedius work of scanning the documents – priceless!

So if you are self-employed or run a small business, I highly suggest to invest in this desktop receipt scanner, it’s really going to save you a lot of time and also save the environment by cutting down on printed papers.

Watch the video below of an actual user of this NeatDesk if you don’t believe me.

Transform paper into information that works

Developed for OS X to look and feel like the applications you use every day

Price: $376.55 on Amazon

Best Air Mouse Review!

max — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 18:29:19 +0000

I’ve seen more needs for an air mouse these days, especially if you like to hook up your computer to your HDTV in your bedroom and surf the web from your bed.

For exactly that purpose of lazying computing, you will want to consider getting an air mouse, which will work great on any surface or air.

Here’s a couple air mice on the market that might be worth getting:

The Gyrotransport Air mouse uses gyration to control the cursor, this is pretty much like the iPhone except you only use it as a mouse. At $59.99, I don’t see how you can lose with this one, especially because it can fit in your pocket or even your keychain. For bed computing, this might just be perfect for getting to that snazzy website right before bed.

The Logitech MX Air Mouse is another step beyond the previous air mouse, it features many, many buttons you can customize to your liking such as shortcuts to your favorite blogs such as Zedomax.com. (HAHAHA!) This mouse might be for those of you bed geeks who need a little more functionality.

This mouse works up to about 30 feet and battery lasts 20 hours so it can also replace your regular desktop mouse too.

The Gyration GYM2100NA Air Mouse resembles your regular ol’ desktop mouse, except it’s an “air” mouse. One of the most prominent features of this mouse is that it will work up to 100 feet with no line-of-sight restrictions, meaning you can have a big steel wall between you and your computer.

Definitely, my best choice would have to be this one since I am really sensitive to distance, I like to make sure I can control my livingroom computer from my kitchen.

Lamp DIY – How to Make Threaded LED Tealight Cover!

max — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 19:30:54 +0000

Do you need that extra “cool” look to your home? Then consider making one of these threaded LED tealight covers. You can bypass that smelly candle and make it extra fuzzy and warm by adding these custom tealight covered lampts to you home.

I was messing around with different materials trying to dress up a little LED tealight, and this is one of the versions I ended up liking (plus it’s dirt cheap since it’s just thread!). I love me some textures. This may be useful for those with wedding venues that don’t allow real flames.

Firefox Hack – How to Hack the Firefox Default Theme!

max — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 22:55:30 +0000

As a developer of a Firefox Toolbar, I know that Firefox can be hacked easily as it uses a lot of JAR files that are actually pretty much ZIP files you can unzip.

Anyways, the guys over at TechRadar go into depth of how to hack the Firefox theme to your liking so check it out:

Themes are supplied as ‘.jar’ files, which are really renamed zip files. You’ll find several directories inside: Browser, Communicator, Global, Help and Mozapps. There may also be a directory called Aero that duplicates some of these; effectively it’s a separate collection of files and directories that’s only used by themes running on Vista. Elsewhere, Browser is the most important directory for customisation because it includes the most obvious graphics and some of the CSS. The Global directory includes CSS files that define the layout of the different browser windows, and Mozapps and Help define the look and feel of the Help dialog and the browser extras, including the Extension Manager and Update Wizard. Customised themes also contain extra files, including ‘preview.png’ – a preview of the skin.

Zedomax Blog “Search Engine Style” WordPress Theme v.0.1 Available!

max — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 03:16:15 +0000

Yey, I finally made a Wordpress theme available for people to download. (I have made tons of them in the past but never realized that it could be helpful for others)

This WordPress theme is the one I used like yesterday. (I already developed a 3-column version of it that you see now)

Anyway, I had to pretty much water the theme down as much as possible so you can customize it to your liking.

This theme will help your blog to get more visitors and also help the visitors FIND stuff over traditional blog layouts. I’ve been watching over last 24 hours how many more people “search” on this blog, simply due to the fact that I have emphasized search more.

You can DOWNLOAD it here.

Soft Values Portable Belt Speakers!

max — Tue, 27 May 2008 16:19:09 +0000

Here’s an interesting concept belt speakers from Soft Values. I don’t know why I’d use instead of a regular headphones but still, kudos for a great concept.

The Soft Values Portable Speaker sits in a small, ball-like form that encloses a soft, fabric sock and a strap. This sock will unfold out of the speaker and cover it up to give the Soft Values Portable Speaker a nice and soft feel. The strap obviously comes in handy to lug this little sound box around. Though we don’t have too many details about the speaker, a Bluetooth connection for streaming music wirelessly would be a nice touch. This speaker might feature a rechargeable lithium ion batteries and charging it may be thorough a USB port. If these nifty features make it to the Soft Values Portable Speaker, it would be one concept worth watching out for, although the design seems a little too girly for our liking.

Google’s Android Could Learn From Yahoo’s Go!

max — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 23:35:52 +0000

Remember my post on the Google Phone Operating System Android?

Check out this review of comparison between Google’s Android and Yahoo’s Go. Although they are completely different animals, (This guy is comparing an operating system to a web site.) it’s interesting how one giant is going for hardware while the other is shooting for software.

Go! is Yahoo’s attempt to deliver their content to multiple devices regardless of manufacturer or carrier, and you know what? It does a pretty good job of it. Go! 3.0 in it’s beta form fixed some issues with the previous version, but the biggest addition is the ability to add your own widgets from other sites, giving you more options to customize it to your liking. The more I used Go! the more I began to realize what I wanted out of Google’s Android. If you’ve never seen or used Yahoo Go!, it’s a program that you must install, then run on your handset. It essentially does away with the need to log onto Yahoo.com to access Yahoo’s content. Email, news headlines, stock updates, sports, and even a search engine are all included. I began to think “what if there was some way to make Yahoo Go! the backbone of my handset?” I would still need access to my phone book and contacts, but that shouldn’t be too difficult to implement.
