Save money on airline tickets

I'm sure you're familiar with sites like Priceline and Orbitz to get discounted airline tickets. Here is a neat site that lets you search several of these sites at once. It's called Yapta.
With Yapta, you search for tickets as usual. However, it can pull prices from different places. This includes sites like Orbitz, Expedia and Priceline.

There are also extensive filter controls. You can easily modify settings to get desired ticket prices. Yapta will even e-mail you when prices drop. What a great way to save time and money!
How handy is that?

Better way to create a new layer in Photoshop

You've created numerous new layers in Photoshop by clicking the New Layer Icon in the bottom of the layer palette. Now, let me show you the "make better" key trick.
Hold down the alt/opt key on your keyboard when selecting the New Layer Icon. Now you can quickly name your layer, set the opacity along with other options if desired.
This is much faster than going back later and properly naming your newly created layer. It also helps prevent you from forgetting to name your layer and ending up with generic Layer 1, Layer 2, etc. which can cause you a great deal of grief later when trying to manage your Photoshop file.
Enjoy the alt/option "make better" key when creating new layers!
