Online Printers: Photo-Print Price Comparison

Online photo printing has hit a price war as of late. When I purchased my personal all-in-one photo printer (Epson RX5000 and I’ve loved it!) last year, I compared the cost of photo prints on it vs. printing photos at my local Wal-Mart. At the time, the Epson printer cost me approximately 10 cents vs. the 27 cents at Wal-Mart if I compared the cost of paper and replacement ink. If you didn’t get an iPod for Christmas, chances are you got a digital camera which has not only led to the price wars between both online and in-store printing, but it’s enticed other companies to enter the market as well.

While I have no affiliation with Wal-Mart, nor do I enjoy shopping at their stores anymore, then did have a great service setup in regards to their photo printing. Not only could order prints online, but you could have them sent to your local Wal-Mart for pickup. After learning more about their printing process, I realized I didn’t like the online-print option because I couldn’t order my prints on matte paper (non-glossy, fingerprint free photo paper). So, I would then take my memory card into my local Wal-Mart and use their FujiFilm kiosk to order my prints.

Commemorative Apollo Moon Map from Google

I am a big fan of Google Maps. It found the route I use to cut through the neighborhoods on my way to work everyday. Now you can use the new Google Moon Map to find some prime real estate guaranteed to be obiting distance of the nearest McStarbucks-Mart. Make sure you zoom all the way in.

I love free software for Windows and Macintosh.

After reading articles about the best Macintosh software at Andy Budd, Futurosity, Garrett Dimon, Macslack, TUAW, Whitespace, YourTotalSite, and for Windows at Digital Web Magazine about free tools for freelancing, I decided to incorporate some of their ideas into my article. After having just purchased a Mac, I was in search of the best [free] software I could find. I would be starting from scratch, not having ever owned or used a Macintosh, so I figured I could make a nice, usable list for myself and some of my friends who are about to make the same plunge I did. I not only wanted to replicate some of the software on my PC, but I was really aiming to replace the PC with my Mac. In essence, a complete migration. So, here’s the list of the best freeware tools I found:

That’s actually meant for us as well as you. You see, ever since I made the first website for my wife and I, we got busy and the motivation to update it left us. Well, that’s all about to change (the motivation part, you follow?).
