To help you get the most out of your mac!
Filed under: Odds and ends , MacBook , Found Footage What do you get when you mix a MacBook, a US$99 printer, some Ikea shower curtains, and lot of wedding guests? In the case of Mac user David Cline , you end up with a very happy sister! During planning for his sister Helen’s recent wedding, Cline looked into renting a wedding photo booth that would take pictures of guests, save a digital copy, and then print out a strip of photos for the guests to take home as a keepsake. The cost for the rental was prohibitively expensive — about US$2,000 a day. David quickly decided that by combining his Mac, a special Automator workflow that he created, an Epson PictureMate Dash printer, an old wardrobe frame, and colorful shower curtains from Ikea, he could inexpensively re-create the functionality of the expensive rental. His Automator script prompted wedding guests for their names, took 3 photos, arranged the photos in a vertical strip, displayed the photos on the screen for the guests to view, printed out the photo strip, and then saved the individual photos and photo strips in digital form onto the Mac
A combination of a shell script and Automator application can be used to simplify the task of upgrading to the latest Chromium build.

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion , Odds and ends , Internet , iPhone Good news for those of you who live with me here in Chicago and also don’t have a car: while AT&T has gotten on the bad side of a lot of iPhone owners lately (seriously, that MMS delay is lame), they’re at least doing one good deed for us Chicagoans. They’ve just announced that they’re bringing cellphone service to our underground transit systems . Many’s the time I’ve stood underground out on the Logan Square Blue Line station heading out to O’Hare, bummed that my iPhone isn’t pulling up my flight times for one last check, but no more — with a contract set up this week, AT&T says they’ll have service up and running underground by the end of the year.
