Did you know that if you hold down SHIFT-COMMAND-4 you can take a picture of any part of your screen? Press SHIFT-COMMAND-4 and your cursor will turn into a cross-hair. (Try it right now!) Click and drag over anything and you can take a picture. It’s how most of the small pictures on this website are made.
Useful for all kinds of things, for example:
Grab a screenshot of a keynote graph:
Grab a heading from pages:
Grab a receipt from a webpage:
Or any information you want to keep:
I use Shift-Apple-4 a few times every day!
Also, Shift-Apple-3 takes a shot of the entire screen – I use this much less.

Well as great as the iphone is, the software is laggign a fair way behind and calendar syncign is one example.
After many hours, here’s a solution I found to sync multiple calendars across different computers, with anyone being able to edit the calendars, and see them on your iphone as well.
1. SET UP A MASTER CALENDAR Your master calendar needs to be in google (not on your mac). So create a google calendar here. Because I wanted to share it among my colleagues and have them edit it, I created a special goggle account just for this calendar. After you create the calendar you can export your existing events from your mac as an ics file and import them into google calendar.
2. SYNC IT TO ICAL Download a little google application called ‘Calaboration’ from here which will add your google calendar to ical. You will need to enter your google id and password. You will need to run Calaboration on any mac you want to access the google calendar on.
3. SYNC IT TO IPHONE Your iphone can sync to google calendar via the Microsoft Exchange option on the iphone. Google is basically being an exchange server that your phone syncs to. The instructions are here.
NOTE: Even though google can have multiple calendars on one account, only the first calendar from the google account will sync to ical, so if you want 2 calendars, you need to make a separate google calendar and then sync it with Calaboration.
