Wibiya Toolbar Review

Friday, September 11th, 2009

This is a review of the Wibiya Toolbar, used here on Churchosphere. I think it’s worth using wherever you want to increase user engagement (everywhere). And also, not many people use it, so it’s kind of unique. Check out the video.

Mac Screen Grab FTW

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

FTWIf you use a mac, as I hope you do, you should know about the Grab tool. It’s a screencapturing tool that even supports selecting portions of your screen, which is great. Except…It saves it in .tiff (no one knows why!?)

The problem is, of course, that your screen grab is *probably* going to the internet, which largely doesn’t support .tiff. So your stuck opening up photoshop/gimp right? No more!

Instead,

  1. open up Preview > File > Take Screenshot and pick your favorite method of screen capture: Screen, Window or Selection.
  2. Take your screenshot and click Save.
  3. When Save pops up, you magically have all kinds of formatting options, (click the picture).
  4. Time Saved.

Experience vs. Observation

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Have you noticed that in the world of the internet, everyone is an expert. In fact, there are so many self-proclaimed “experts” that it’s hard to find anyone with much real experience. This leads to the difference between experience and observation. I’ve discovered that I am not an expert in much. My areas of expertise extend to 1. Myself and 2. Chick-Fil-A Drive Thru. In everything else, I am foremost an observer.
