Google: All the Right Tools, Part 5
Google moves on. Always. Here’s a move we should like: they’re releasing plugins for their Desktop Search tool. When first released, the search tool had modules that would handle 8 different file formats. Now, there appear to be DOZENS. Many more than I can list here!
Screenshot Pilot
Doing a capture of your current Windows desktop is simple enough, right? All you have to do is hit a few buttons on your keyboard (Ctrl and Print Screen at the same time) and it is automatically copied onto your clipboard. So why would you need a separate program running to do something you can [...]
SpamArchive
If you have an e-mail address, then you’re probably dealing with spam, at least to some extent. No matter what you try to do, it always seems like it finds its way into your inbox. I was doing really good for a long time, but just recently, I’ve felt the pain that can only be [...]
I Would Have Been A Botanist
Every few weeks I see to run into another string of coincidences, or else the world is playing tricks on me. This week I have experienced a run on clogged inkjet printers.

Image Renaming
Need to do some renaming of some photos you just took, but you don’t want to go through all the trouble of doing them all one by one? I don’t blame you because there are more fun ways to spend your valuable time. Personally, I’d rather be watching paint dry than having to rename a [...]
FindSounds
Can you imagine what your computing experience would be like if you didn’t have any sound? Granted, it’s not exactly the most important thing, but it does help to keep us entertained when we’re browsing the Web, watching a movie, listening to music, or playing a game. When creating your own media, you may sometimes [...]
AliveChat
One of the many over-used phrases that the web seems to make people churn out at regular intervals is “interactive“. Despite the fact that many companies and individual’s websites are little more than online versions of a printed brochure, they are often described as interactive experiences. But when visitor participation involves little more than clicking [...]
Fantastic Fiction
When real life becomes too boring or stressful, it might be a good idea to take a break from reality and focus your attention on the lives of other people. Now, I’m not suggesting that you should start spying on your neighbors – that might get you arrested. Taking an interest in the lives of [...]
