Sauce Junkie Slathers Harrisburg Days in BBQ

724 Factory — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 22:36:27 +0000

This past weekend our own Michael Winkleman spent his Saturday saucing up the local Harrisburg Days festival with his own custom BBQ sauce. It was a great turn out for the Harrisburg Days festivities – lots of great local vendors, activities and great eats! Here at 724 we like to think of ourselves as brand agents by day with a touch of foodies on the side – so being part of developing the brand behind the great sauce has been a pure pleasure for our creative side and from the bottom of our stomachs! We are looking forward to more local events for Sauce Junkie as well as a mid-summer, cross country trip for another client which will have us sampling lots of local fair. Stay tuned for our cross-country adventure in branding with a side of yum.

Quick Tip: Stop resizing

724 Factory — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 18:09:05 +0000

Stop resizing.

How often do you adjust the width of a file column in Finder when you’re looking for a file? 2? 4? It probably depends how deep your file structure goes. Stop resizing! Use this tip the next time you are diggin for a file:
Hold the option key while hovering over a file name that has the (…) in the middle it will immediately display the whole name in a pop-up window. This way you won’t have to resize the width of every column in list or column view.
