    I stopped to sit and soak up the calm yesterday during my morning walk, and recorded the sounds I heard.

  5. How to Get Started in Web Design

    Marcus starts a series of posts on the topic of starting, and it’s great to see. Some people just know what to do, but most of us sort of flail around for awhile. Having some insight from someone who is doing it, and doing it well, is fantastic.

So shut your pie hole and go find another client rather than whining about how you are entitled to the end-product of Loren’s hard work for the last half year simply because you paid about the price of a bottle of soda about a year ago."

  14. Dropbox Trick: Making the default Mac screenshots instantly live on the web

    I have a little trick I use with the program Dropbox that I thought I would share. This came about after some discussion on Twitter about how some of us use Dropbox, and this was obviously more than 140 characters.

    Note that I am on a Mac, so you Windows users will have to figure out how to do this on your own, though I suspect it won’t be too different really.

    By default, Macs are able to take screenshots in a few ways. Full screen grabs, selected areas and selected windows can all be quickly snapped and saved as an image file to the desktop. Default filetype is PNG, which works fine for me. But I found that I often take screenshots that I need to share with someone. Doing the sharing part required several more steps.

    In comes Dropbox. Dropbox has a public folder in it, that makes any file inside of it instantly viewable on the web. Each file gets a special web address, on my Mac I get it by right clicking the file and selecting Dropbox > Copy Public Link.

    But first we need to change where the Mac puts screenshots. To do this, I run a little app called Deeper. Deeper lets you change certain defaults rather than having to dig into the command line (scary!). So now I just set my default screenshot location to a new folder inside Dropbox’s public folder called Screenshots (amazing, I know).

    Now whenever I take a screenshot, it is stored into a public Dropbox folder. I can easily and quickly share an image via Twitter, IM, email or whatever. It’s become so useful to me that I can’t imagine working without this. Discussions over IM about a design, or troubleshooting something are now really easy to do.

    Need to change the default screenshot filetype and don’t want to grab Deeper? Change JPEG below to whatever filetype you need.

    Open up a Terminal and type:

    defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleScreenShotFormat JPEG
