Frame your iCal calendar
By Christopher Breen (mac911@...)

Reader Jeffrey Reseburg has an idea that I like a lot. My job? To provide the
details along
with a pat on the back. He writes: "Is it possible to upload an iCal screen shot
onto a
memory card on then put it on a digital picture frame? I would like to hang it
in my
kitchen."

Sure, why not? Open iCal to the month you want and then press Shift-Command-4,
press
the Space Bar, and then click on the calendar. The Mac will take a shot of the
calendar in
.png format. If that's not compatible with the digital picture frame, open the
image in
Preview, choose Save As, and in the sheet that appears, choose a format such as
JPEG that
makes your picture frame happy. Once you've done that, it's simply a matter of
placing the
image in the frame, using whatever transfer scheme the frame supports.

Now, when I originally posted this advice in the Mac 911 blog last week, my
reply was
along the lines of "Sure, it's possible. Do this." But I also hoped to get a
bunch of "You
think that's cool? Try this!" responses from my enterprising readers. As always,
the
readers of Macworld obliged me. Go to our forums to see some of their
suggestions --
and maybe even add one of your own.
