		<title>Use Scale Calibration Weights to Ease Start-up Commands</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a quick tip for other Mac repair technicians: use a 50 gram scale calibration weight to hold down keyboard buttons (like option, or shift).  They fit perfectly on all Mac keyboards and only cost $5 with shipping.
You can find one of these weights on Amazon.com.

		<title>Quickly and Neatly Open Two Pre-Specified Finder Windows Via Applescript</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Several times a day on my Plex Mini I was opening the same two Finder windows (the &#8220;new downloads&#8221; folder and the &#8220;tv shows&#8221; folder) to make sure stuff in &#8220;new downloads&#8221; was being automatically transferred (using Episode Linker) to my &#8220;tv shows&#8221; folder.

		<title>How to Print USPS Shipping Labels in Snow Leopard 10.6</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember having a similar problem when Leopard came out&#8230; trying to print a label from usps.com would look like it&#8217;s working but the print dialog box would never appear.

		<title>Create Keyboard Shortcuts for Safari Bookmarks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For instant access to any bookmark in Safari (and probably Firefox) you can set up a keyboard shortcut to automatically open the bookmarked website.
Here&#8217;s how:
1) Go to Safari and note the exact title for the bookmark(s) you want to quickly access.  In my case, it&#8217;s &#8220;wells&#8221;, &#8220;amex&#8221;, and &#8220;ing&#8221; &#8211; my banking sites.

2) Go [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently become obsessed with rating songs on my iPhone.  I have too many bad songs and need to weed them out.  But, when listening to music throughout the day it&#8217;s a pain to stop what I&#8217;m doing, switch to iTunes, rate the track, then go back to what I was doing.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Wondering why I haven&#8217;t been writing lately?  I&#8217;ve been using Plex!  
I was planning on writing a whole big feature on Plex, then I just watched Don McCallister&#8217;s Screencast (from within Plex!) on Plex.  It&#8217;s great and there&#8217;s no point in writing out everything his video demonstrates, check it out:
