Kodak ESP 7250 All-in-One Printer Reviewed -  It may not be the fastest printer out there, but the new Kodak ESP 7250 has a few nice things to offer, such as built in wireless as well as Bluetooth printing and a dedicated photo tray. Kodak also offers decently priced ink cartridges so it won't hurt as much to replace them. And photos come out looking excellent--as befits a printer from Kodak. Take a look at the Kodak ESP 7250, and if you've tried one, let me know what you think.

Alice in Wonderland Lockets, and Other Papercraft Fun -  Who wouldn't want a giant locket that opens to a photo of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter? But where would you find such a valuable piece of jewelry? Fear not--you can find downloadable plans for the locket (including photos of the Mad Hatter, the Red Queen, and even Alice herself) through Paperkraft.net, a blog that compiles papercraft plans from around the Internet. And you can find lots of Disney-themed papercraft downloads at Disney's Family.com site. So all you'll need to create the locket (or scores of other papercraft plans, complicated and simple, from Space Ape to Harry Potter to the iPhone) is a good printer, some paper, and a pair of scissors. Finally, I can afford an iPhone!

Scan in Ubuntu Linux with Simple Scan - I've tried a number of Linux distributions with varying degrees of success and satisfaction. It wasn't always easy getting printers and scanners to run, but then again I'm pretty much a Linux beginner, no matter how many times I use it. So it's always nice to know that Linux pros are constantly at work creating new software that works well--and simply. Lifehacker reports that new Simple Scan software , created by Robert Ancell, will be available in the next version of Ubuntu. It doesn't offer a lot of extra (or unneeded) functions. According to Lifehacker, "When all you want to do is make a PDF from text, or scan a picture, Simple Scan is there for you."

Top iPhone Business Card Scanners - Touchscreens are great, I guess, but typing on them can get old fast. That's one reason there are several apps available for the iPhone that make it easier to "scan" business cards by taking pictures of them, and using software to translate the images into readable text that can become a card database. Lex Friedman of MacWorld ran four different apps through their paces, and found that while some were good, all were still works in progress. The apps--BizSnap, WorldCard, Business Card Reader, and ABBY Business Card Reader--range from free to $9.99. Check out Lex's hands-on reviews for more details on making your iPhone into a business card scanner.
