I just received an email from a supplier who has been working for six weeks on a special substrate. I expect it to take two days in shipping, and on top of that, I need to complete and deliver the project late next week for a special dedication. Here's the ending sentence of his email I...

http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/print/foils-and-dies.html?trackingid=KAFJT This isn't my business, but I essentially came into the world of print via the same route. We started with a little Kingsley pencil imprinting machine in our basement; working with printer's type. Big type, little...

I'm in the early stages of crossing platforms with my design software, and I'm looking to purchase a copy of Omega 5 Layout Station. Gerber currently has a $195 special on the Layout Station if current Omega users upgrade their CS/CP station. I'd be willing to buy your extra copy of LS 5...

Shill Bidding. You know the drill...bidding on an item on an auction site only to get beat out at the last minute by a lone bidder. After some checking (God Bless Ebay's very detailed records), I notice the winning "buyer" has a track record of "purchasing" 10% of all the seller's items ever...

I'm considering getting Gerber Omega. Does anybody run Omega on the same computer as SignLab 8? I'm wondering about possible dongle conflicts during bootup. Any answers? I'm currently running an Omega Demo and there is no conflict with both programs running side by side. Will that...

Don't waste the entire day on this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OekjcEARgg8&feature=g-sptl&cid=inp-hs-edt JB

Is anybody upgrading to Gerber Omega 5 in the next few weeks? If so, I'd be interested giving you a few bucks to allow me to purchase the $195.00 Layout Station that is on special through September 25th. You get the LS for the special price when you upgrade to Omega 5. I'm...

You click the "new posts" button and nothing happens... Welcome back everybody! JB

Does anybody know what file formats Omega LS 4.0 is capable of exporting? I primarily use SignLab 8 for cutting, but I also use Illustrator (.ai, .eps) and AutoCad (.dwg, .dxf) for designing. We do monuments and since Gerber has a few more options that I could use, I was wondering if it...

Awesome halo around our (midwestern) blue moon tonight...a most beautiful balmy summer's evening. JB

I'm a book magnet. I like books about business, but I'm also very selective about what takes up room on my shelf. I've thrown away just about as many books as I've kept, and this book "No Jerks on the Job" is a keeper http://www.nojerksonthejob.com/ I just picked it up this afternoon and am...

Being left handed I often times find myself with one hand on the keyboard and the other on the mouse. I propose that future computer keyboards contain an "enter" key on the left side of the keyboard. Can anybody else relate? JB

I just heard about this show today...I don't have TV, so I'm probably sheltered from a lot of the so called "reality" that goes on. This borders on sanctioned child abuse...theyr'e screwin' up their kids mentally...who knows what they'll be like as parents. God save us all...

My new neighbor of six months recently acquired a Harley with Kansas plates (we're in Michigan)...and says it's his sister's ride (she's an OTR truck driver)... His story seems legit, but I really wonder sometimes. Is there some sort of national Harley registry that lists stolen bikes...

Just in case you're looking for some extra knowledge this fall, but may be pressed for time, here's a link to great website that features in-depth business book reviews in .pdf form....all free. So, instead of having to invest a lot of time in a book that perhaps you may not like, this is a...

Out the door, down to the corner store, through the door, hang a right at the last aisle, open the cooler and grab a cold Pepsi...yep...I feel like a rat in my own maze. Nothing major...just one a day, but it's now time to lay that habit to rest. Tomorrow, I'm not going to run the rat race...

I went to create a single line of text with the type tool, and for a brief second, I saw some kind of icon briefly appear after clicking on the tool bar. I must have accidently clicked on something else, that's for sure. I didn't think much of it, but when I started typing, my text looks as...

I have a fond affection for the Kauffman Foundation (for entrepreneurs). They have some excellent programs for young and old entrepreneurs alike. I was browsing their site today and found this organization started by a young teacher concerned about students at risk. http://wishbone.org/...

http://www.theplotterdoctor.com/sales-product/vinyl-plotters-cutters.html I did notice that he took off a capital "K"...and the dot of an "i"...but otherwise impressive. JB

Well, it's year number six for our business and I'm finally getting into the "psychological" challenges of being in business for myself. Now that the adrenaline has faded away, I'm noticing some "self-inflicted" casualties that have slowly crept in. I need to get rid of them before they...
