ForkedUpArt serves up twisted iPhone stands

il 430xN.143391524 ForkedUpArt serves up twisted iPhone stands

As the Etsy profile says…

I’m a student at the University of Utah. I’ve been welding since I was 16, and have found a special ability in creative art. I’m married and have a little boy that was born Sept. 09. I hope to really go places with my art, so hopefully you’ll see it around.. icon smile ForkedUpArt serves up twisted iPhone stands

His art can be seen here at the ForkedUpArt Shop and includes several pieces that join bent spoons and forks into anthropomorphized iPhone stands. Three of the tines of each fork “hand” wrap around the iPhone while the bottom on curls under to support its weight. Spoons make up the legs and feet and another spoon or fork ties it all together as the spine and head of the cutlery creature.

Each of these iPhone-holding creations sells for US$30.

Digital Zoom

I’m sure that some of you have poked around all of your System Preferences, including the Universal Access pane, but you’d be amazed at how many Mac users are unaware of “Digital Zoom”.



Since the early days of OS X, Digital Zoom has been a “hidden” feature, nestled in the Universal Access System Preference pane. Digital Zoom zooms in on your mouse pointer to give you a close look, with minor distortion at any object. This can be very helpful in such instances as fine print and reading words from very small pictures (concept art, illustrations, etc).



To active Digital Zoom, hit command-option-* . To zoom in, use command-option-+ and command-option– to zoom out. To return your screen to its original state and turn off Digital Zoom, hit command-option-* again.



Well, I hope you have enjoyed this quick tip and have fun zooming!
