I have been using Marketcircle’s Macintosh CRM program Daylite 4.2 ($280) for the past few months and I have to admit, it’s definitely a major improvement over the last version I tested, at least on a top-of-the-line MacBook Retina Pro with SSD drive. Very impressed with its new feature set and functionality, promise a full review soon.
Meanwhile, I would like to tip you off on a program that has become a critical part of my Macintosh software toolbox and that’s Literature and Latte’s Scrivener ($45) — a writing program that simply amazes me with its well-thought out features, designed to help you organize and structure content. Highly recommended.
Finally, in response to Adobe’s poorly received adoption of a Creative Cloud pricing model, I downloaded both Flying Meat’s Acorn and Pixelmator and I’m most impressed with Pixelmator, especially at its remarkable $15 price point. Take that Adobe!
Lainie Liberti is a recovering branding expert, who’s career once focused on creating campaigns for green – eco business, non-profits and conscious business. Dazzling clients with her high-energy designs for over 18 years, Lainie lent her artistic talents to businesses that matter. But that was then.
In 2008, after the economy took a turn, Lainie decided to be the change (instead of a victim) and began the process of “lifestyle redesign,” a joint decision between both her and her 11-year-old son, Miro. They sold or gave away all of of their possessions in 2009 and began a life of travel, service, and exploration. Lainie and her son Miro began their open-ended adventure backpacking through Central and South America. They are slow traveling around the globe allowing inspiration to be their compass. The pair is most interested in exploring different cultures, contributing by serving, and connecting with humanity as ‘global citizens.’
Today Lainie considers herself a digital nomad who is living a location independent life. She and her son write and podcast their experiences from the road at Raising Miro on the Road of Life.
