Sometimes, the best way to get the message across is to give them the silent treatment.
5:24 PM. It was a Sunday. And we watched the sunset. And it was beautiful.
Shot using a 350D and kit lens that has not failed me for the past 1 1/2 years. I had a mini tripod and a Cokin filter. Click on the image for a larger version. Click here to view a few more shots I took.

Because of the new Fan and Grid feature of Leopard’s downloads folder, I can spend more time beautifying a less cluttered desktop. Now despite the eye candy of the new dock, a lot of users have complained about how they preferred the old dock in OS X Tiger because it was easier to tell whether an application was open or not via the reversed triangle visual aid. Leopard has replaced the default “triangle” with transparent lights which makes it harder for some people with vision problems to discern what application is open.
I’ve managed to customize my dock’s skin using Leopard Docks. You will need to do some file replacing in the system folder. This is how you do it:
Go to Macintosh HD > /System/Library/Core Services/
Right-Click on “Dock” and select “Show Package Contents”
Go to /Contents/Resources/
Backup the files you are about to replace (Incase you did not listen, here they are)
Move those same original files to the trash
Move the files you downloaded to that folder
Open Terminal and type “killall Dock” (without the quotes)
View your nice new dock.

Been fiddling around with Leopard for the past few hours. I have a lot of things to say in the pipeline but before that, I’d like to show you a little trick I picked up while browsing the forums. In the beta stages of Leopard, a PhotoBooth effect for the Star Wars hologram was excluded for final release. For us Star Wars fans, the effect simulates the holographic transmission effect used for communications.
Here is an example with me doing the Jedi:
The effect has also become quite popular for Halloween:
And yet another one …

You know, one of my favorite blogs on the tech channel is The Craigslist’s Curmudgeon. The “Curmudgeon” exposes the @$$ side of Craigslist, a site dedicated to online work mostly related to copywriting. But really though, Craigslist can help you earn a few hundred bucks on the side if you’re a freelancer. As an alternative to blogging, Craigslist can become a good source of online income for us starving artists.
Have you ever browsed through Craigslist’s job board? Have you ever taken up any offers from there? What was it like?
Here are some charts that show how often Macintosh users back up their data. 26% of all Macintosh users back up their systems regularly. However, only 4% make use of the auto back up feature:
Hands down, the three most eyecatching experiences with Leopard are, in no order, the new iChat moving backgrounds, the new reflective effect of the dock, and Time Machine. Apple engineers intentionally made Time Machine look this good so that people will be encouraged to back up often in exchange for the eye candy.
It is advised to purchase a “time machine” (aka external drive) that is at least equal to the total hard drive space of your current Macintosh. It is advised to run Time Machine before you go to sleep so that when you wake up the next day, the backup process would have been completed.
