Enso lets you do common computing tasks easier and faster than ever before. You get a huge productivity boost and a simpler digital life.

Enso is dead simple to use. You just hold down the Caps Lock key and type an Enso command, which is displayed in a translucent overlay.

For instance, to launch the Firefox Web browser, you just hold down the Caps Lock key and type "open firefox."

Here are some flash animations produced for my own teaching and free for you to download and use as you wish.   Most links open the animation in its own window. One or two are links to collections of animation on a similar theme.

Just click and a video will open and take you through how to use that technology. To start now, just click on any of the links on the left. My own background is in teaching English, so if you scroll down you will see a special section of ELT videos which are grouped separately.

Seashore is an open source image editor for Mac OS X's Cocoa framework. It features gradients, textures and anti-aliasing for both text and brush strokes. It supports multiple layers and alpha channel editing. It is based around the GIMP's technology and uses the same native file format. However, unlike the GIMP, Seashore only aims to serve the basic image editing needs of most computer users, not to provide a replacement for professional image editing products. Seashore was created by Mark Pazolli who led the project until the end of 2009.
