Narrowing Your Search by Giving : Apple.com

I never used to like Spotlight on the Mac (tiger) but as I learn more about it, it gets better and better. Read the tip below from the Apple website and try the following searches I have tested and found to work in Spotlight:

Spotlight OS XIf you want to narrow your search right off the bat, you can add a category when you type the term in the Search field. For example, if you’re looking for a song named “Vertigo” (by the band U2), there’s no sense in having Spotlight bring you a list of email messages from your ear doctor, right? So if you give Spotlight a hint as to what you’re looking for, you can get just songs as your Spotlight search results. Here’s how: Type “kind:music” (with no space in between or quotations), then add one space and type “Vertigo” (again, you don’t need the quotes). So your search will look like this: kind:music Vertigo. Now it will only search songs, and you’ll only get song results. Schweet!

  • kind:music
  • kind:image
  • kind:folder
  • kind:movie
  • kind:email
  • kind:pdf

What the Heck? A mini BMWfor 2 People

What the?! A mini BMW, 2 People Only!
I barely got my camera out and loaded for this one, but it was worth the hastle! Check out this little BMW car that passed my on my way to work this morning. It was a 2 seater, had a partial soft-top convertible top and the trunk (if you can call it that) was open to the inside of the car.

THIS IS NOT A PHOTOSHOP EDIT.

MIT Advertising Lab: future of advertising and advertising technology: Advertising with Google Maps

I Love IT! Some people are so smart.

Google Maps Advertising

Advertisers are slowly discovering the potential of Google Maps, and some, like the Target store above (more at Google Sightseeing), are even enjoying some unexpected windfall. Poynter Online talks about realtors tapping into satellite imaging tools. Google Maps Mania is running a log on map hacks, some of them by businesses.

Lombard Street, San Francisco, CA

Lombard Street, San Francisco
I figure it is obligatory for me to post these pictures from time to time. This weekend Amy and I walked… A lot. The last place we went to was Pier 39 (and Ghiradelli Square) where we had one of their famous Hot Fudge Sundays.

On the way home we came upon the crookedest street, seen in the picture here. Actually, I saw a tv show this weekend that said this is the second most crooked street, but I cant remember what the first is. Maybe you know what it is?

Health department shuts down KFC : theHJ.com

They should have been shut down a long time ago. The generation of people that worked there before me most likely ruined the vacations of many Indiana Beach visitors with food poisoning…and while the 3 years that I worked there we may not have paid the most attention to health regulations (we were just kids, what did we know about food safety, cross contamination or the infamous “danger zone”) at least we had a good time. Good bye KFC and all the fond memories. RIP.

The future of whether a Monticello restaurant can reopen depends on whether it can satisfy the requirements of the White County Health Department.

Kentucky Fried Chicken, 901 N. Main St., was ordered closed by the White County Health Department on Jan. 3, 2006.
On Tuesday, White County Food Protection Specialist Linda Russow said that the establishment posed an “imminent health hazard” to the public because the restaurant “wasn’t sanitizing, and people might still have the food in their refrigerators.”
