Maybe one of the reasons we’re so enamored with technology is that we’re either bored with where we live or we take its beauty for granted. Download the iPhone and iPad app Fotopedia Heritage and search for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It’s photos make my iPhone seem insignificant – and make me want to move to Tennessee.

To be clear, by “lazy” we do not mean lacking work ethic or engagement. Rather, it is a measure of leisure time spent doing sedentary activities compared with activities that require more physical effort, such as exercising and even working.

When was the last time you checked out your Utilities folder? Well, if your answer was “What’s that?” then let me explain. Inside of your Applications folder is another folder called Utilities that is filled with all sorts of wondrous things that most people either don’t know or completely forget are there. Even veteran Mac users are guilty of this. I know I am.

DigitalColor Meter is one example of this. The other day, I wanted to find out the web safe color of a particular item on the screen of my Mac for a web design project I was working on. My first step was to go searching the Internet for such a tool (preferably free). Then, in the midst of said search, I was reminded that this little tool was not only already on my Mac, did exactly what I wanted, but also did it better than any of the tools I was able to find.

The point is that, even the tools we think we know can always reveal a little something we don’t. The Mac is an incredibly deep and rich OS and there are few that know it all. I’m going to spend some time every day for the next little while spending some time getting to know some more of these built in tools I largely have ignored and see if I have any practical applications for using them. You will likely see more posts like this in the coming days.
