If you are on the mac, and use mail, you can set up a signature via Mail>Preferences>Signature, but not an image, per se.
However, a great workaround I have found that allows me to insert my business card image, a logo, a small ad, a note about an award or whatever, customized to every email on the fly, is to use Typinator (http://www.ergonis.com/). Again it is cool because not only can you, with one little keystroke like ‘addlogo’ or even ‘-al’, you can insert at the moment you need it any image, OR any text. great for boilerplate responses, creative briefs and etc.

Apple allows matte screens on 15-inch MacBook Pros again

Hooray for all us big-window dwelling Mac users! If you’re craving something other than Apple’s standard glossy screen, the anti-glare matte finish is an option again on the Apple Store for 15″ MacBook Pros. Except it’ll cost you $50 extra and replaces the black border with a silver one. Small price to pay for reducing eye strain, says I.

iCam brings video from home to the iPhone
by Mel Martin (RSS feed) on Aug 5th, 2009
I was intrigued by Lauren’s post the other day where she briefly talked about using the iCam phone app [App Store] to do some baby monitoring. I wondered what else I could do with this US$4.99 app, so I gave it a try with great results.
One nice thing about iCam is it can integrate up to 4 live video streams on your iPhone, even if the cameras are stand alone webcams or cams attached to different computers. In my case, I had a D-link webcam, a desktop mac with a Logitech webcam, and my MacBook Pro with a built in iSight camera.
I was able to bring all 3 onto a single screen on my iPhone and keep an eye on my house and parrot while I was out for dinner.
Here is the setup. You have to download an app called iCamSource to run on each computer that hosts a camera. It’s free. If your computer is hosting 2 cameras, you make a duplicate of the app and run it in a second instance. In my case, my desktop machine had the attached USB webcam, and I was also linking to the D-Link camera that has a built in web-server and a device specific IP address.
With the USB webcam, it was easy to find in the software by name. You enter a unique user name and password. For the second webcam, the D-link, I had to specify an IP address, followed by the required code to bring that camera up. Each webcam does it a bit differently. I asked the iCam support people, and after a few tries we found the right combo for that particular camera. Support responses were very quick, by the way.
