A crate label for Mission Bells Brand fruit depicts the ringing of the bells at Mission San Juan Capistrano.You might say that Paul Ford has labeled himself as a serious collector. He has over a million labels, in fact – mostly from West Coast agricultural products – and was eventually forced to build a 5,500-square-foot building behind his Salem, Oregon home to house them all.

“I’ve always loved to save and collect things,” Ford said. “I’m big into Route 66 memorabilia, for instance.”

Tweak photos with Fotoxx (Open Source)

While F-Spot and digiKam are among the most popular photo management applications, they are not the only fish in the sea. In fact, if you need a lightweight tool that can help you to manage and tweak your photos with a minimum of effort, Fotoxx can do the job just fine. Fotoxx’s interface looks deceptively spartan: the main window sports a single menu and a toolbar that contains buttons for frequently used functions.

Scribus is the leading open source solution for desktop publishing (DTP); it supports professional features like press-ready color separations and PDF output, as well as every media file type under the sun. With Scribus you can design high-end documents with a separate workflow for authors, photographers, and graphic designers in an office environment, but it is easy enough for single-user work, too. The latest release, 1.3.5, just hit the Internet, and packs a suite of new features. If you have never taken Scribus for a test drive, now is the time.

You can download Scribus installers for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows from the project’s Web site. Version 1.3.5 boasts major improvements in OS X compatibility, for the first time integrating completely with the native windowing and menu systems, which should encourage many Mac owners who found earlier releases not quite “Mac-like” enough to blend in.
