This week, Mac OS X v.10.5 “Leopard” turned a year old. It was a slightly rocky launch, but Leopard introduced us to 300+ new features from its predecessor, 10.4, Tiger.
“See all 300 new features here.”:http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/300.html
In honor of Leopard’s birthday, we’ve been posting some of our favorite Leopard-specific tips and tricks on “our blog”:http://blog.smalldog.com. There are way too many to list here, so if you’re interested, check them out. We’ll be posting our Leopard faves through next week.
It’s the last weekend for Grace’s extended trip. I’m getting really tired of dining alone and talking to myself. I think I’d be totally stir-crazy if it wasn’t for the pups who have been taking good care of me while Grace is cruising with our friend, Yvette. That makes for a great time for the first poker and football of the season as the regulars gather at my house on Sunday. We have had some snow and it has been cold enough so the ground is still covered. Grace is in for a rude awakening coming from the Pacific to the tundra here in Vermont.
Thank you for reading this Halloween issue of Kibbles & Bytes! Have a great weekend and please get out and vote!
Your Kibbles & Bytes Team,

Can’t wait until the election is over? Well, me either. All the excitement and intensity is starting to take its toll!
I’m very excited for Election Day to come, and I am planning to volunteer at Montpelier’s City Clerk’s office on Tuesday as part of Small Dog’s Volunteerism Initiative. Each employee is encouraged to take a paid day off to work to volunteer and perform community service. I figured that the election is the biggest national event this year, and it would be a great day to help out and be part of the process!
Count down these last couple days with the Election 2008 Countdown Widget. See you on the other side! __Note: Requires 10.4+__

In OS 9 it was possible to create a “desktop printer,” which made printing as easy as dragging and dropping a file onto a printer icon. The advantage was that you didn’t have to launch an application to open a file before printing it. Fortunately, it’s easy to create a desktop printer in OS X. You can also create a printer droplet that you can keep in your dock for convenient printing.
To do this, launch System Preferences (under the Apple in the upper left corner of your Mac’s screen) and click on “Print and Fax.” In the left pane of this window, you’ll see the printers you’ve installed on your Mac. Drag the icon of the printer from the left pane and drop it on your desktop. The printer icon should appear on the desktop. Drag any file you’d like to print and drop it on this icon–as long as your printer is turned on, the file will print.
You can also drag that icon into your dock. Again, simply drag and drop any file you’d like to print on the icon in the dock for speedy printing. Note that once you drag the printer icon into your dock, you can then get rid of the icon on the desktop by dragging it to the trash. You’ll still be able to use the printer icon droplet in the dock.
__Note: This tip was tested in OS 10.5; feel free to let me know if this works for you in other versions!__
