Google REALLY wants you to start using their Gmail service, and they also want to spread the word that you can use keyboard shortcuts to navigate Gmail, so they’ve created a set of Gmail stickers to you can stick to your keys to help remind you of where each shortcut is.
To get your own set of Gmail m-velope stickers, bookplate style stickers, and keyboard shortcut stickers, just send a self-addressed stamped envelope (It’s less than an ounce, so just a standard First Class stamp will suffice, and you can even include a note to Google if you’re so inclined) to:
Send me some Gmail stickers already
P.O. Box 391420
Mountain View, CA 94039-1420
It’s apparently a first come, first served offer, so be sure to send in your request soon if you want to be the proud new owner of a set of semi-limited-edition Gmail stickers.

5ThirtyOne posted a great tutorial on how to create & manage screenshots on OSX. Taking screenshots is actually a nicely integrated and easy to use feature in OSX, but one that is often unknown or overlookied. Since it’s something I do almost everyday, I thought it would be good to let others in on this little secret. Here are the keyboard shortcuts:
Full screen (Save to Desktop): CMD+Shift+3
Full screen (Save to Clipboard): CMD+CTRL+Shift+3
Select region (Save to Desktop): CMD+Shift+4
Select region (Save to Clipboard): CMD+CTRL+Shift+4
Select item (Save to Desktop): CMD+Shift+4 then Spacebar
Select item (Save to Clipboard): CMD+CTRL+Shift+4 then Spacebar
The rest of the tutorial is equally as informative, so if you’re looking to do a little screen capturing, definitely check it out.
