Is MySpace Your Space?
MySpace is all the rage these days. Everybody’s there – even me. Yes, I have a profile on MySpace. Why? I still don’t know.

ScratchPad
I like to take a lot of notes. Sometimes I can come up with a great idea, and if I don’t write it down that instant, it’ll be gone before I know it. Having piles of notes around your desk isn’t too efficient, so I have chosen to go down the digital route. ScratchPad is [...]

Insanely great mileage and NO dependence on imported oil? It’s almost too [...]

Garbage Pail Kids
As I mentioned the other day, I’m a Garbage Pail Kids collector – and have been ever since the 7th grade. My dad caught a controversial TV news segment about the stickers. On his way home from work, he decided to pick up a single pack of cards for each one of us boys (Adam, [...]

Use Hard Spaces In Word
