Geek Tip: Don't Forget to Tag Yourself in Facebook
Today's geek tip is really more of a reminder. I'm sure you're an expert at tagging your photos in Facebook and beyond, but I keep seeing a common, easy mistake: Forgetting to tag yourself in pictures on Facebook.
I'll click into a newly uploaded album, and mouse around the picture to see who's in it, and often, the uploader tags everyone but themselves.
How to Use iPhoto's Tags, Hotkeys to Make Slideshows Easier
The idea of tagging photos is nothing new, but most people use it for things like identification, ala Facebook or Picasa (whose face-recognition technology continues to blow me away). After having had several parties in the last few months for people, and thereby putting together slideshows featuring the guests of honor, I realized how much photo tagging could help me — but with the original files.
I'm finally putting iPhoto's tagging to use; not only will tagging the photo files by the names of the people in them to sort through later, it couldn't be easier.

First Facebook, now Flickr. The online photo site has just released a new feature: People in Photos.

Tag Galaxy Is Out of This World
For some visual Friday fun, head on over to Tag Galaxy, where you can browse through Flickr photos in 3D. Just enter a tag, click on the planets with the tag you want to see and click "view photos" and let the site work its magic.

We Will, We Will, Shock You!
Here at Sugar HQ we're always looking for novel ways to entertain ourselves, especially the men, who decided it would be "fun" to bring a pair of Laser Tag Shocking Tanks into the office. I don't even think I can find the words to describe this so-called game, which is totally abusive and kinda fun all at the same time. .
Website of the Day: Double Feature Finder
I'm not one to pay for a movie ticket, then sneak into a second without paying (although I know some people who dabble in the art of creating their own double feature), so finding this website made me both laugh and point my mouse to my bookmark button. Double Feature Finder finds movies that run back to back so you can buy your tickets at the counter on your way into one flick, then head into another without having to go back out to stand in another line.
Just put in the title of the movie that you want to see, and DFF will spit out a list of other flicks that trail your preferred film at the same theater so you can check it out right after.
