Tag: Saved for Later

For the longest time, one of my goals has been to go on a deer hunt. It’s one of the skills that men throughout history have honed in order to provide for their families, which is a foundational pillar of manliness. This fall it looks like I’ll finally be taking to the woods and fields to […]

 When it comes to the weather, there is no lack of applications to choose from to get your information. But there is very little diversity when it comes to those apps. A new startup, called Sunshine, is looking to change all that. Using information delivered from the barometer sensor in the phone, as well as user-generated reports of local weather, the app is trying to change the way we… Read More

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve been surprised many times to discover the hidden messages of faith in my favorite movies. Don’t be deceived by the lack of overt themes of Christianity. As Ralph Wood explains in in The Gospel According to Tolkien, his treatise on Tolkien’s deeply Christian fantasy world, the subtle infusion of theology is […]

You’ve heard that bringing your own lunch to work can save you money, but how much does it really save? According to personal finance site Money Crashers, it’s a lot.

Money Crashers broke down various categories of food and drink that many of us tend to buy from a store each day. They compared the cost of homemade items to typical store bought prices. Even with fairly generous comparisons (the site assumes a daily coffee from the store costs $2, for example), the amount saved per year easily reaches the thousands:

By bringing in your own coffee, breakfast, lunch, snacks, and beverages every day, you can save anywhere from $2,000 to $4,200 or more over the span of an entire year. And taking your own food to work is not just economical – in many cases, it’s also the more health-conscious option. When you prepare your own meals, you can use healthier, more natural ingredients and reduce your chances of overeating due to better portion control.

You can find the full breakdown at the source below. Depending on how much you actually eat at or on the way to work, you may see a lower savings rate (after all, many of us skip breakfast). Of course, this is a guideline. How much have you saved by bringing your own food to work?

As with iOS, the Photos app in OS X El Capitan now supports third-party extensions: That means other apps can plug directly into the Photos interface to give you quicker access to more effects and tools. Here’s how to get started with the new feature.

First and foremost you need to install an app or two that supports the new feature—right now there aren’t too many that have been given the necessary upgrade, but Affinity, Tonality and BeFunky Express are three apps that offer Photos integration already (we’re using the latter here).

With your photo editing app of choice installed on your Mac, open up the System Preferences from the Apple menu then click Extensions and Photos. Put a tick next to all the apps you want to use inside the Photos interface. Next, open up the Photos app to get at your pictures.

Double-click on an image to select it, then choose Edit and Extensions. Pick your app and the tools available inside it are now available right from the Photos app — the options listed will vary from program to program but you should be able to use them as you normally would.
