Macbook Running a little hot? Try smcFanControl
While running HandBrake the other day, I noticed that the keyboard on my MacBook was getting a little hot. Especially around the Function Keys. My previous Dell, which I dubbed “The Frying Pan”, always ran hot but it never felt this hot.
So I did some Google-ing and found this Menu Bar App called smcFanControl
Yet another step towards voiding the warranty on my MacBook Pro.
Taking GIMP and Running with it
Here are my first few of photos post processed with GIMP

All I did was Crop, adjusted Levels, Sharpened and bumped up the color saturation. So far I’m very impressed by the functionality of this FREE app. I guess I can hold off on buying Photoshop CS3 for a while
Next stop, Portraits.
If you want to see more GIMP images, there is a GIMP Users group on Flickr. And while you’re there check out the discussions, an excellent resource for GIMP Tips.
