If you need help figuring out an application or an operating system - or if you’re just about to go Office Space on your computer - you’ve found a great starting place. TheAnswerHub is full of great tips and tricks on the applications you use every day: PC applications like Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Project. Mac OSX applications like Keynote, Pages, iMovie, iPhoto, and Office for the Mac.

(We even know a thing or two about Final Cut, Motion, and Soundtrack Pro, but you can find out about all that at our companion site, beanlake.com.)

In short, TheAnswerHub can provide free technical help on a wide variety of the stuff you use every day; the stuff you need to get your work done, and to unleash your creativity.

Best of all, you can get quick responses to your questions by simply clicking on the green “Ask” buttons you see throughout the site.

The site exists to support the books and tutorials I’ve authored over past several years. It exists because the book is just conversation. It exists because technology changes quickly; books generally do not.

Yes, it’s completely free (at least for now). Yes, it’s just that simple. You ask a question. You get it answered.

To get started, click on the button to the left or click on one of the links above. You’ll find lots of good info behind those links; it might even be the answer you’re looking for. If not, submit your question to TheAnswerHub. Most times, you’ll get a response within 1 business day. (We typically don’t check email on the weekends, and neither should you. We have a love/hate relationship with our smartphones. If you want to read more on why, you can follow the blog on the etc page. We’re big believers that technology should help enhance life, not clutter it up.)

And for a limited time, you can submit your questions directly to my inbox at by clicking here.

Enjoy the site. I hope you pick up a tip or two that will help you break through, help un-stick what was stuck. Look forward to hearing from you.
