Dumping Google Custom Search

August 22nd, 2009 | 3:31 pm

I’ve decided to dump Google Custom Search until it’s more customizable and have gone back to the built-in WordPress search. Please let me know if you run into any problems using the search.

In the still of the night...

August 10th, 2009 | 12:16 am

With the weather being so nice last week, it was the perfect opportunity to take some night photos. I took these out on our deck with my Canon EOS Rebel T1i and Canon EF 75-300mm lens.

They came out ok, but I really need to get a remote shutter trigger for the camera due to the crazy amount of shake I get from pressing the shutter button down. I guess I’ll have to make a trip to Pro Photo Supply soon.

My new addiction

Baseball Slugger: Home Run Race 3D (iTunes Store link) – $0.99

Hitting a home run

This is one of the most addictive games I’ve played on my iPhone (Frenzic is another) and, at 99 cents, it’s definitely worth the download.

Quickly take a window screenshot in Mac OS X

July 10th, 2009 | 1:22 pm

From Apple’s Pro Tips:

Hold down the Command, Shift, and 4 keys, then press the Spacebar. Instead of a cross-hair cursor, a small camera icon appears. When you move this camera icon over the element you’d like to capture, that element is highlighted. Click your mouse or trackpad, and you’ve captured a screenshot of just that element — no further cleanup required.

I knew about Command+Shift+4 and use it all the time, but I never knew about the spacebar trick to capture a particular window or element on the screen.
