iPhone App Store: Free/Buy/Install

The Free/Buy/Install toggle button drives me crazy sometimes. I've noticed that if you click Free (or Buy if it costs anything) and it turns into Install, clicking anywhere outside of the button will return it to Free. The problem is that the button is either too small or the target is off because I'll toggle between the two states in half my attempts, and I've got sticks for fingers. :(

Trying to decide on lunch. Really want Pho, but don't wanna smell like Pho. Mmmm.

Rediscovering Photoshop

With the opportunity to work with a new version of Photoshop, I'm slowly learning what all the new features are. Some are CS4 specific, others are from previous versions that I never owned.

- When windows are tiled, you can move the canvas or zoom all images at the same time by pressing down shift
- Selecting the hand tool and then pressing h will allow you to zoom out to bird's eye view
- Hold shift and then the keyboard shortcut to cycle through tools
- Selecting the zoom tool and then holding down the mouse button will automatically zoom in until you let go
- Content aware scaling will transform the image without distorting the main subject (I redid my shortcut to command-shift-t)

BTW, all the versions of Photoshop I've worked with: 3, 5, 7, CS, CS4.

The evidence.
The evidence.

I like Asian gummy candies but it makes me feel guilty that they're all individually wrapped. All those wrappers...

Purchased the "black air jacket set" by Power Support for my iPhone. Very thin and sleek but doesn't cover the front edges. Hmm.

iPhone Earbuds Are Anti-Collared Shirt

I hate the position of the mic on the earbuds that come with the iPhone. Maybe it's just me but it keeps get caught on the collar of my button-up shirts. Grr.
