I’m currently working on a website and like any website, it needs graphics. I was checking out some websites that have awesome icons, like CruxTech and Panic and I envy the cool tools that exist for Windows for making icons. One of those programs is Axialis IconWorkshop. This Windows only application looks really cool and appears to … Read more

Although all of my computers are Macs, my wife uses iPhoto and I use Nikon’s ViewNX application to manage photos. She shoots Canon JPEG images and I shoot Nikon RAW images.
