It has been said that getting good information from the web is like trying to drink water from a fire-hose. Another way to look at it is to paraphrase a popular T-shirt slogan from back whenever: "So many web sites, so little time."
I was mindful of these concepts this morning when I stumbled across an old friend on the web that I had somehow lost track of. The friend is iCreatemagazine.com, which has been around for awhile; I don't know how long. The reason I like this site so much is that it blogs on useful information for Macintosh users. Only. I had bookmarked this site, but as it happens, the bookmark ended up going toward the bottom of the list as new bookmarks were added (I'm not good at organizing bookmarks), and when my hard drive crashed, it took all of my bookmarks with it. So, now, I'm having an adventure rediscovering sites that I had found useful or informative. Thus, finding, I pass along to you.
As with most magazines these day, this one has a print version in addition to the web site. However, it being published in the U.K., the newsstand price in the U. S. is about $16 per issue.
But, here's this free online version of the magazine that produces tips, hints, reviews and the like, for the Macintosh platform only. Yay! But, while I appreciate the more ecumenical tip, hint and tutorial sites that publish for both platforms, it's refreshing to find one that speaks Macintosh as its native language. And, besides, when was the last time you found tutorials on using the Apple productivity apps, such as iMovie, iWork, and Garageband?
For instance, here's a listing of some recent articles:
So, old friend, I'm glad a ran into you, and you can bet that we'll be seeing each other more often.
