Shootin’ for a spot in your hotlinks
So other than the fact that an otherwise helpful police officer managed to turn a 5k into a 6k for most of the 2nd wave group…it was a good race. Â
This guy is amazing. The highlight for me…

Aperture’s feature set is a unique ‘1 stop shop’ for image acquisition, processing, output and storage. This tidal wave of features is both empowering and daunting– some great features aren’t as obvious as others.
I’ll cover two of those features today, Metadata Views, and Metadata Presets. Ellen Anon covered the step by step over at the Inside Aperture Blog, so I’ll be sticking to an overview– and an explanation of why views and presets are important features to understand and use.
As any self respecting GTD’er knows, you need a ’safe, with you at all times, easy to edit’ place to keep notes for yourself. Enter the iPhone: a perfect, ’safe, with you at all times, easy to edit’ notepad.
So if you have a iPhone you can use it to take notes– to start, go to your Mac and launch Address Book.
Yes, Address Book*. Create a new Group called ‘01 Notes’, and then create a new ‘company’ contact in that group with the name you want to give your notes list. Then scroll down to the notes section of this new contact and put in any of the text you’d like.
Type away to your hearts content– when you plug in your iPhone, the new contact you created will be synced back to your computer. You can edit the notes in the contact on the iPhone and all those changes will be synced back to the Address book on your Mac.
Creating a group makes it easier to get to your notes, and putting the number at the top forces the iPhone to alphabetize it to the top of your groups.
*Now, if you’re scratching your head wondering ‘why use contacts when you could use Notes?–here’s why: Notes doesn’t sync back to your machine in any way– where as Address Book contacts (along with the notes you create and edit) do. Using Address Book you can have synced access to your notes on both your computer and your phone, instead of just making/viewing notes on the iPhone alone.
