Since I often screen share into my iMac or mini while on the go, I wanted a way to simplify the connection process.  I ended up with the solution you see above. Clicking either of the icons will fire up the screen sharing app and connect me to whichever computer I selected. It’s also pretty simple to re-create for yourself!

Assuming you already have DynDNS or something similar set up to let you access your computer while on the go, all you’ll need to do is open up Safari and type vnc://yourdomain.here, then click on the globe in the address bar and drag it to your desktop. Double clicking on this icon will now take you directly to screen sharing. Now, all you’ll have to do is find replacement icons of your choice and add them to a stack. Voila!

Just got back from seeing The Social Network, and it was amazing. If you haven’t yet had a chance to see it, it is definitely worth the ticket price to go check it out. Granted, it isn’t the happiest of films, but it’s double narrative pulls you in from the very start. It has a prefect balance of nerdiness, drama, and wonderful cinematography. Plus, it has a great soundtrack put together by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, which is available for download here.
