There are a lot of times when I want to take a screengrab of the site I’m on, be it for posterity, to use for a blog post or for work purposes.

Now I’ve got great memories of seeing the Chiefs play in -20 Celsius temperatures nearly twenty years ago and always get a bit excited when the season gets under way. This year it sounds like the Colts and Steelers will be strong again in the AFC and my bet in the NFC is on the Seahawks and the Bears, but you can never really tell until the season’s in full swing.
Few of today’s top-selling board games can claim to have been around for as long as backgammon, and the strategic past-time still has a cult following today. Not only is this Mac game an accurate digital recreation of backgammon with five different game modes, but it’s also a great tool for learning the nuances of the game thanks to its excellent tutorials.
