This is a super fancy tip for those of you like me who hate having to click on the minimized window on the dock. I’m all about keyboard shortcuts, and this is an awesome one.
Have you ever wanted to highlight some text and throw them directly into a new stickie? Well you can and I’m happy to show you the simple command.
First select/highlight the text you want to add to the stickie.
Hit Command + Shift + Y
Stickies will open promptly with the text in a stickie note! Awesome!
This tip is amazing. I just read how to do it and am so stoked. Have you ever wanted to save one of those beautiful icons you have on your dock? Maybe even save the hi-res version???
Well now you can. The icon above was taken straight out of my Applications folder. So this is how it’s done.
Hope this helps. :)
A cool little tip to browsing a website using non standard techniques is using the Space Bar. Most use the scroll ball on their mouse, arrow keys, or even the trackpad if you have that option. Hitting the spacebar will jump the page down. A feature I just figured out to add on to this is holding Shift+Spacebar which will make the page jump upwards. Pretty bad ass and easy way to navigate.
With my current job I tend to service a lot of people with Blackberry’s on their Mac’s. So many times I get the question of whether or not you can sync the phone with the computers address book and iCal (calender). The usual answer would be to use the free service from RIM called PocketMac. Wouldn’t you know it that all the new Blackberry’s won’t work with the current PocketMac? It’s apparent that the company doesn’t care about their mac users with the fact that they haven’t made a solid update to the software. There is a solution luckily and it will cost you. I can tell you that it works great and I’ve had tons of happy users because of it.
It’s called Missing Sync by Mark/Space. The program will cost you $40 dollars but I would say it is well worth it. If I owned a Blackberry it would be one of my first purchases. Fortunately I have an iPhone :)
So for all you Blackberry users you should get Missing Sync.

I’ve compiled the most important shortcut commands which pertain to your Apple computer. Most of the shortcuts will be able to be used in multiple programs. Here they are…
Word Processing (these will work not only in a word processor):
command + x = Cut
command + c = Copy
command+ v = Paste
command + s = Save
command + p = Print
command + d = Duplicate
command + a = Select All
delete = Backspace (many get this confused coming from PC assuming to find a backspace)
fn + delete = Forward delete aka. oposite of backspace. This is not needed if you have a full keyboard.
Application/Window Management:
command + q = Quit Application
command + w = Close Window
command + h = Hide Application
command + tab = Tab through current applications open

If you’re like me and have an extremely large iPhoto library (I have over 23,000 photos) it can be intimidating to begin organizing your photos. In iPhoto 08 you can organize your photos within Events, but that’s the easy part. The tricky part is not only finding the photos your need, but finding them fast. Welcome to the wonderful world of keywords.
Let’s say for example that you’re looking for every photo with you in it. Not only that, you want photos of you and your friend. With keywords you’ll be able to find exactly those photos in seconds.
The trick to efficiently organizing your photos is to first think of every category you will need. For example, every person you want to tag, every place, etc. To do this, open iPhoto, click on Window, and click on Keywords. If you can’t click on the option, select an individual photo first. Once in there you’ll see a button labeled “Edit keywords.” Click on it and you’ll be able to add and remove keywords as you see fit:
Had a whole bunch of new vLogs I’ve been kicking out so I figured I’d share them with you in case you aren’t an avid YouTube’r. Don’t worry I won’t call you lame if that’s the case…#fail. Check them out after the jump…
When creating a Social Media strategy for your business there is many things you want to take in account. For one it’d be important to know who your clients are. These days everyone from teenagers to senior citizens are using Social Media, so why not you?
I’m down for that! While browsing the inter-webs I spotted an interesting article over at Mashable talking about the possibility of Twitter allowing self-promotion for the little guy (aka. JoesDaily).
Earlier this week David Fincher has announced that Daniel Craig would be playing the roll of journalist Mikael Blomvist in “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”. Fincher is now looking for Daniel’s counterpart, the pixie-haired hacker Lisbeth Salander.

This is hilarious. With the recent controversy between GaGa and Katy Perry it seems extremely appropriate. I guess Katy Perry’s Tweet didn’t go unseen.
