Welcome to my online journal. This is where I blog about my personal experiences and topics that interest me. Sometimes I can get very passionate about a topic so consider yourself warned. I write for myself first above everything else, but I also really enjoy creating content that might help others such as reviews, tutorials or tips on what it's like to be a geeky mom. I really enjoy using social networking tools to keep in touch with family and friends and I love meeting new people. Thanks for stopping by and interacting with me. Please leave a comment and say hello! I look forward to hearing from you! — Melissa

How To Add Special FX Photos to Your Address Book Cards

Hand-Made Mac Tip No. 14
How To Add Special FX Photos to Your Address Book Cards
I discovered some funky, new photo editing features in Snow Leopard's version of Address Book!
When you edit a contact card, you can also assign a photo to that individual by double-clicking on the photo icon.
Below that, there are two buttons. The camera button is for taking a photo using the built in webcam. The button to the right of that is for adding special effects. I can't remember off the top of my head if these were present in Leopard, but I'm just discovering them now.
There are six different choices. Try on a few for yourself!
You know, it's soon time to get those holiday cards out in the mail. Next time you're digging around in your Address Book, pruning and gardening your contacts database, you might want to have some fun with a few of the faces in there.
