---Excerpt from Geekanoids Preview Issue---
Welcome to the very first issue of Geekanoids. This preview issue has been sent to you gratis, totally free, well, with one exception… you have to actually take the time out to read it and here is why.
More often than not, if you run a design or print company, or you are a designer with deadlines to meet, the daily grind and pressures can take their toll. Take a step back, give yourself (or your team) ten minutes to have a break, refuel the cells and you may well find productivity and fresh ideas start flowing. Geekanoids will take a look into the world of design, apple mac goodness, gadgets and tools. Many of our reviews and articles will not only help you in your day-to-day work, but also give you a light hearted look at some of the subjects other publications simply don’t cover. Why not drop us an email and we will try and cover it.
