We recently reviewed Epson’s Expression Premium XP-800 Small-in-One Printer. (Read the review.) I was impressed. Judie and I came back from Aruba having taken a huge number of pictures.

iPhone 5 Plus NeatCloud Plus NeatMobile Helps Keep You Organized
As I work harder and harder to get away from using paper, I’m finding that a number of digital solutions are key to the process. For example, my iPad now lets me gather and read not only all my books but also many of the PDFs that I use. In fact, as Carly mentioned in [...]
Fujitsu Introduces the ScanSnap S1300i for PC and Mac; Fast Scanning and Powerful Integrations
My move toward becoming increasingly paperless began a number of years ago when I saw my cousin Jamie’s ScanSnap scanner. I was impressed with the speed with which it was able to create digital copies of hard documents. I bought the same scanner and then, when I “saw the light” a year later, swapped it [...]
NeatReceipts Scanner and Software Package Review
Last July we reviewed the NeatDest scanner and software system from Neat. (Read the review.) Here’s how I began the review One of the keys to Apple’s remarkable success with their iOS devices is the fact that they control both the hardware and the software side of things. Good software is nice to have. So [...]
Review: Fujitsu ScanSnap S1100 Instant PDF Document Scanner
As I have moved further and further away from using paper and pen and more and more into eEverything having a good, high-speed scanner has become increasingly important.

Epson Expands Mobile Printing Offerings with a Free New iPrint Android App
As more and more people use their smartphones and tablets in place of more traditional laptops and desktops the need to be able to print directly from the handheld devices continues to grow.

The Neat Company’s NeatWorks Software Updated for Mac OS X Lion
I’m totally sold on The Neat Company’s hardware/software combination that I reviewed a while back. It is a great way to move in the direction of being totally paperless and, best of all, it just works beautifully. I was bummed to discover that the Neat software was one of the things that would [...]
Review: NeatDesk for Mac Scanner/Software Combination
One of the keys to Apple’s remarkable success with their iOS devices is the fact that they control both the hardware and the software side of things. Good software is nice to have. So is nice hardware. But when you put the two together; when the hardware is specifically designed to work with the software [...]
Genius Scan for IOS

Review: Epson Artisan 725 All-In-One Printer
I’m a huge fan of Epson’s printers. I find they work well, offer a huge range of excellent features and are priced competitively. A while back I had the chance to review their Epson Workforce 600 all-in-one printer/fax/copier. I was impressed and continued to use it until my father needed a printer. I gave it [...]
I Reviewed It and Still Use It, the Dan-Edition
We were having a conversation among the site’s editors last week with regard to items that we reviewed. It’s one thing to use an item for a few days or a week or two (which is the average) and quite another thing to use it for a month or two or three. There are times [...]
ABBYY Business Card Reader- iPhone App Review
I’ve tried a number of different business card scanning apps that let you take a picture of a business card with your iPhone camera and automatically pull information from it in order to create a new contact. It is a great idea but I have thus far been a bit disappointed in the accuracy of [...]
Epson Introduces Stylus NX420… First Wireless-N All-In-One Under $100
I have been happily using an Epson all-in-one printer since I reviewed one for the site last year. The printer does everything I need and much more.

Sneak Peak: CardStar for BlackBerry and Android
The CardStar team was kind enough to give us a chance to test drive their beta versions of CardStar for Android and BlackBerry.

If [...]
Review: FoodEssentials Scanner for iPhone
About six years ago I made a decision to change my life. Being an athlete all of my life, I was pushed to get bigger and had always consumed a lot of calories since I burned so many. When I began coaching, I spent all of my time teaching others how to be athletes, and [...]
