iTunes, Apples, Panthers, Oh My!

Apple is offering a completely free New Music Sampler. There are some good songs on there like the Stills track and the Death Cab for Cutie track. Definately worth checking out for free.

I came across a little program called Sizzling Keys which brings iTunes controls to your fingertips. You can set any of the basic iTunes functions to a keyboard shortcut. It also features a searching function which is similar to quicksilver.

I also learned two tricks in OS X today. The first is screen shot taking. Pressing Command-Shift-3 will take a screenshot of the entire screen (complete with camera shutter sound). Pressing Command-Shift-4 will allow you to select the region that you want to capture. Both place the screen capture in a pdf file on the desktop.

The other thing really isnt useful, but in Expose, holding the Shift key while pressing an shortcut key will make Expose animate the windows in slow motion. Pretty neat.

Finally, the UWM Panthers beat Butler tonight to claim their 3rd straight Horizon League Championship. UWM will now host the conference tournament at the US Cellular Arena.

Ben, you need to get your weblog back up and running!
