Actually you may need to use a curved suface to keep a constant radius from the lens. Must find that picutre of using a PostIt to capture dust when drilling a hole in a wall :)

I suppose it depends on whether your freezer is the top half or the bottom half.

Heat rises, a freezer on top doesn't change that.

You could say that the labrador was lifehacking by using the bowl to navigate, not sure if many blind lab's will use the internet to view this lifehack tho

I like a lot of butter with my popcorn. Won't be using this particular life hack.

Yeah. A friends child asked yesterday, "Why does windows start with the C: drive and not the A: drive?" His/her Dad: "Well A and B are for floppies". Child: Whats a floppy?

And yet there is no way to make your life hack pictures into individual pictures which make browsing easier.

Snipping tool in Win7 deserves an honorable mention. Click and drag over what you want. Saved me so many headaches.

rather than paste N images one at a time you can use it to upload a gallery as a single image

also handy for grabbing captions too

Gyazo is the absolute sh*t for this. Select the area you want to focus on, it's uploaded instantly onto the net and you just copy/paste the image URL to wherever you need it

Firefox Imgur addon

For anyone using Chrome or (preferably) one of it's safer, non-tracking derivatives, try this combination:

First:
Awesome Screenshot allows screenshots, editing and uploading, althought not to imgur....

Second:
Imgur Uploader allows uploading of any images via the context menu (right click for almost everything except a mac)

Use the two of them together to create a screengrab which you can then upload to imgur.

There are other extensions that seem to work in the way Capt'n Midnight's suggested Firefox extension works (e.g. Metronomik's) but they seem to want you to login and I couldn't be arsed.

Yup as above, anytime I've ever used or seen them hooks being used, they have always fallen off randomly. They are not worth **** all.

Since the tablet is really thin there is nowhere near the leverage effect of other items hanging off the same hooks.

if its the suction type hook then just stick a bit of superglue on theback and it will stay for longer.
