One of my favorite new features in Leopard is the ability to search all of the menus in a given application. This is extremely helpful when you don’t want to dig through a whole much of nested menus to find the item you’re looking for.

If you’ve read my other posts, you know that I’m big into keyboard shortcuts and hotkeys. Here’s how to open up the help-menu without using your mouse

Command + Shift + /

Or you can think of it as

Command + ?

Note that this doesn’t work in some applications (e.g. FireFox, which is just one more reason for me to switch over to Safari…)

Devin, Dave and I working on our submission for the App Dev contest.

This year, I was selected to travel with six other ISYS students to represent BYU at the AITP National Collegiate Conference in scenic Oklahoma City. We flew out on Thursday, and competed in 6 different competitions for three days straight:

• GIS/Business Intelligence
• Microsoft Office Solutions
• Systems Analysis & Design
• Database Design
• Application Development
• Java Development

The trip was awesome, and we competed well in many of the events. Here are some photo highlights. (Thanks to Landon Cope for being the VP of trip documentation.)

Bryce, Landon and Robbi (not pictured) made us proud and brought home a lot of awards.

At the Awards Banquet with our spoils. 9 awards for 6 students in 6 contests!
