.PngPong!

I found a super cool way to take a picture of something on the internet-- it's called a .png (ping) file. In creating a .png file, what I am basically doing is taking a picture of my computer screen. On an Apple computer, what you do is hit shift+apple+4. This should make a cursor/crosshare that you use to crop the image you want 'photographed.' The image then automatically saves to your desktop. Piece of cake!
As an example, I pinged a picture of my amazing organizational skills! Here it is:


The twelve main folders are the chapters of my textbook. I even found a way to color code them (it really helps me out so much). I can even go into the files, like I did with the portfolio file, and color code everything within the portfolio folder green as well. Green sub-files go in the green folder, and so on. Another piece of cake!
