Being able to take screenshots is useful for many reasons, but no matter how practical your reasons, your shots can still be clean and aesthetically pleasing.
If you're a Mac OS X Leopard or Tiger user, you probably know to take screenshots with Shift + Command + 4, which gives you a little cross hair icon to select the area to take a screenshot of. Take that further and press that combo, and then hit the space bar.

Martha Stewart may be one of my idols, but a health tip she included in the January issue of her namesake magazine, Martha Stewart Living, has me disagreeing with her pretty profusely.
Here's what she says:
"Alongside every one of my computers, I have a pitcher of mineral water infused with lemon, lime, orange, or cucumber and mint. I find that I drink more if the pitcher is there as a reminder and I can freely pour a glass, rather than opening bottle after bottle of water during the day."

If you're having a New Year's Eve party tonight and will have a computer monitor in view, then download this free 3D New Year's Countdown.
When it comes, confetti will fall and "Auld Lang Syne" will play. Post New Year's Day, the screen saver countdown starts over (which I love, because NYE is my favorite holiday).

For all my students, I hate to interrupt your Winter breaks to give you some school advice, but if I can make your upcoming semester a little less painful, then I've done my job.

Drink responsibly. Flirt responsibly. The term "beer goggles" can mean nothing to you, if you take care in making a digital memory of the person you met last night — the person you thought was amazing at the time, but then got home and realized that you couldn't really remember his face.

This is a great use of your cell phone's camera for the holiday season, since many people go out to dinner, parties, and drink wine while out. There have been many times where I tasted a new bottle of wine, decided I loved it, and tried to remember what it was called so I could purchase it later.
I never remember.

Last week I told you about my geek tip for remembering where you parked in a huge parking structure or mall lot by taking a pic with your cell phone's camera, but needing to know where you parked isn't confined to being in a parking lot. Have you ever tried to park in a big city, for instance?
I happen to live in a very busy neighborhood where parking places are scarce.
