I thought I would give us all a little brain exercise. I got this in my email inbox not too long ago. How many can you get? Without giving anything away, comment and let us know how many you got …
You have to work out what the letters mean. According to Mensa, if you
get 23 of these, you are a “genius”. Hmmm…
Example:
24 H in a D - 24 hours in a day
1) 26 L of the A -
2) 7 D of the W -
3) 7 W of the W -
4) 12 S of the Z -
5) 66 B of the B -
6) 52 C in a P (WJs) -
7) 13 S in the USF - 
18 H on a G C -
9) 39 B of the O T -
10) 5 T on a F -
11) 90 D in a R A -
12) 3 B M (S H T R) -
13) 32 is the T in D F at which W F -
14) 15 P in a R T -
15) 3 W on a T -
16) 100 C in a R -
17) 11 P in a F (S) T -
18) 12 M in a Y -
19) 13=UFS -
20) 8 T on a O -
21) 29 D in F in a L Y -
22) 27 B in the N T -
23) 365 D in a Y -
24) 13 L in a B D -
25) 52 W in a Y -
26) 9 L of a C -
27) 60 M in a H -
28) 23 P of C in the H B -
29) 64 S on a C B -
30) 9 P in S A -
31) 6 B to an O in C -

Just wondering…
Now that summer (vacation) is upon us, I have been feeling the need to get my eye into the camera more, and practice my portrait-making skills.
So, can I shoot you? I’m looking for people who don’t mind a camera pointed at them. You don’t even need to “look (supermodel) good”. You just need to be available to let me come by and set up a couple of flashes around you and hopefully make you laugh a bit at my corny jokes.
I don’t need a long time, either. I’ll take whatever time I can get, at this point. 10-15 minutes at minimum. More if you are having fun.
Please comment and let me know if you are willing.

Last week, I told you all about iStat Menus, a cool app to check the health of your Mac. But what do we do when we find out our Mac is really sluggish? How about a little spring cleaning? I mentioned Onyx in last week’s post. Onyx is a nice little free app that runs a whole slew of maintenance scripts to clean out, correct and check things “under the hood” of your Mac system. I typically run the “Daily”, “Weekly”, and “Monthly” scripts to clear out the memory not being actively used by the apps, and I occasionally run the permission scripts to check the integrity of things like preference files and stuff. If your Mac hasn’t been “cleaned” in a while, it may start acting up, or worse. It may start NOT acting at all (can you say, spinning-pinwheel-of-death?).
So, it’s worth checking out. If you like it, let me know…
