Little known OS X feature

People running Mac OS 10.3 or higher should try the following little trick:

Hold down Control+Alt+Apple+8 (or asterix on the number pad, if you have a full keyboard).

This will reset your monitor to grayscale and invert it. This might be useful in a room where you want to use your computer unobtrusively. Otherwise, it might just be an opportunity to show off your OS X prowess to awe-stricken masses of onlookers.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.
