Free Bento 3 Holiday Pack Lets Users Get More Organized and Have More Fun This Holiday Season

image FileMaker, Inc. has announced the Bento 3 Holiday Pack, a free, fun and easy way to get organized for the holidays that works with Bento 3, the popular personal database from FileMaker that is as easy to use as your Mac. Whether the task is planning holiday parties or organizing gift lists, the Bento 3 Holiday Pack makes it easy.

To transform the holidays from daunting to dazzling, download the Bento 3 Holiday Pack now:

The Bento 3 Holiday Pack includes a 30-day trial of Bento 3, plus two festive themes and two additional templates (beyond the 35 that come with Bento 3) to help plan parties and organize a gift list all in one place. The gift list tracking template tracks gifts both given and received, tracks thank-you notes and even provides a place to store comparison-shopping details. It s great for the holidays, but equally handy for other events like birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and showers. The Holiday Party Planner stores a guest list which links directly to the Mac Address Book, a to-do list which links directly to iCal Tasks, recipe files, food and beverage list, the menu and more.

The Bento 3 Holiday Pack also works with Bento for iPhone, so customers can work on holiday planning on an iPhone or iPod Touch, and then synchronize the information to their Mac.

Bento enthusiasts downloaded last year s Bento 2 Holiday Pack by the thousands, said Ryan Rosenberg, vice president, marketing and services, FileMaker, Inc. With the Bento 3 Holiday Pack, we re providing even more new and intuitive ways for you to enjoy the holidays and more beautiful templates to help you get organized with style.

The Holiday Pack is designed to work with the new Bento 3, the recipient of rave reviews from the media, including a PC Magazine Editors Choice award. Bento 3 now talks to iPhoto, making iPhoto albums viewable from within Bento. This makes it easy to store and edit detailed information about photos, and also to link photos to entries in a Bento database, whether it s for holiday photos or gift-giving plans. Users can also encrypt any field and assign passwords to information in Bento 3 to keep gift or donation information secure.

Tinseltown 2.121408 Theme For Firefox

Tis the season. Time to string up the lights, put up the tree and get in the Christmas mood. What better to help you along than with a Christmas Firefox theme.

image


Once the theme is installed, make sure you activate it: http://www.twistermc.com/blog/2007/03/25/now-what

Tinsel town incorporates snow, reindeer, candy cane stripes, presents and much more Christmas imagery. A big thanks goes out to WatiWorks, a stock icon site that allowed me to use their free icons for parts of Tinseltown. If you want Christmas icons to match the theme, check out their free icon section.

image


Some of the cool features of Tinseltown include a semi-transparent URL & search box, blinking Christmas light throbber and how, with no tabs, the theme will merge with a website that has a white background. To get that full effect, check install Tinseltown and go to Google.com or MacUpdate.com.

image Tinseltown, the holiday theme, works on Mac, Windows and Linux for all to enjoy!

Once the theme is installed, make sure you activate it:
http://www.twistermc.com/blog/2007/03/25/now-what

Create A Picture of Santa in Your Home

MySantaPictures.com gives parents a way to prove to their kids that Santa came to their home on Christmas Eve. A Santa picture adds a magical moment to any family Christmas.

image


Now parents can amaze and delight their children by creating a picture of Santa Claus delivering gifts in their home on Christmas Eve.

At http://www.MySantaPictures.com , parents follow an easy three-step process to create living proof of Santa s visit: upload a picture of their decorated living room, choose from over 100 Santa poses (kneeling, standing, eating a cookie, etc.), and then size and move Santa within your picture to create the perfect picture of Santa caught in the act. Parents can then show the picture to their children on Christmas morning by printing the photo or displaying it on their computer screen.

A Santa picture delights kids of all ages.

On Christmas morning when I showed our seven year old son the picture of Santa putting gifts under our tree he was amazed, jumping up and down and screaming We got him, we got him, and he s so fat!

image


"Our kids were at the age where they were becoming sceptical of the Santa s existence, said Tom Link, who helped create My Santa Pictures. Last Christmas Eve I told my 7-year-old son that we had a motion-sensor camera set up to capture Santa in our home. On Christmas morning when I showed him the picture of Santa putting gifts under our tree, our son was amazed, jumping up and down and screaming We got him, we got him, and he s so fat!

The My Santa Pictures online photo process is priced at $9.99 for the first picture, and $.99 for additional shots, and accepts all major credit cards as well as PayPal. My Santa Pictures offers non-profits and other web sites the ability to earn commission on each sale they refer through an affiliate program ( http://www.mysantapictures.com/affiliates.php ).

I Believe Photos, LLC publishes three websites devoted to helping kids remain kids as long as possible: http://www.MySantaPictures.com , and similar sites for the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy.

Santa's Gizmo 2.1 Keeps Track Of Your Christmas Present List

Santa's Gizmo... This little gizmo will make your Christmas list a cinch. It'll help you find out how much you've spent, compare what you've spent on each person, find out what still needs wrapping, and more.

image


Last year, we embarked on a dangerous quest to retrieve one of Santa's most prized possessions. We braved the perils of the frozen north, fought polar bears, battled vicious Elven Mages, and finally nabbed the treasure tucked safely hidden in Santa's fortress. We presented it to you as Santa's Gizmo.

When we found out Santa had a new gizmo, we decided to swipe that too. Though Chris might have singlehandedly cause global warming during the ensuing battle, we have still managed to retrieve... Santa's Gizmo 2!

This little gizmo will make your Christmas list a cinch. It'll help you find out how much you've spent, compare what you've spent on each person, find out what still needs wrapping, and more!

Last year, Santa's Gizmo generated $150 in charity to SaveTheChildren.org as part of a holiday contest. This year, we plan to keep the original purpose of the app alive. Therefore, for every sale of Santa's Gizmo, $5 will be donated to this charity. Thanks for helping the needy this holiday season!

System requirements:
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

System support:
PPC/Intel
