Ann Althouse, law professor in Wisconsin who hosts a widely read blog, and has recently provided terrific coverage of the Madison union mess, has ‘lost’ her blog. Judging by the tone of the support drone here on the Blogger support page, I’m starting to wonder if she is going to get it back. Pretty lousy [...]

Certainly not a replacement for actual rechargeable batteries, but I can certainly see the utility of them. A spare cell phone [...]

Right now I’m sitting in my van driving north on Sprinkle Road about to get on Interstate 94 to visit my parents. I’m taking the girls to visit the grandparents and to give Diane a break for awhile. The really interesting thing about this entry is I’m not actually typing it. I picked up a [...]

If you are using Firefox and Gmail, I recommend checking out Greasemonkey (via Lifehacker). There’s a short video there showing the power of the Greasemonkey in managing and organizing Gmail. I’ve installed the various scripts and immediately became a convert. While you’re there, don’t miss the link for AutoHotKey scripting.

Frequently, I’m surprised when I have a chance to watch other people using their computers. I mostly run across Windows users, so you Mac people sit down for a few minutes. By no means am I a useability expert, but I thought I’d pass along some tips that seem to make my life easier. The [...]

This week, I have been participating in meetings between my employer, a major pharmaceutical manufacturer, and an agency of the Federal Government. These meetings are routine, occurring from time to time. In the course of the meeting, our guest wished to print a single page from a PDF file on a CD-ROM in her possession. [...]

Follow the links to go get a copy, if you are so inclined. I’m probably going to stick with Firefox.

The latest Beta for Firefox is out, and I’ve been using it for a day or so. Gotta say it is going to be hard to go back to IE if work ever locks out Firefox (rumored to happen). Things about Firefox I love (and aren’t just part of the Beta): 1. Tabbed Browsing. Instead [...]

Employees are thinking twice about working for companies that restrict net access. Microsoft says that many employers need to free up their Internet access policies in order to appear more attractive to potential hires.

Scanning through my RSS feeds this morning, I discovered this post from Paul Stamatiou regarding Windows LiveWriter. I’m using it to compose this post as a test, and so far, I like the application. The WordPress admin panel is functional, but it has always had some bugs that have annoyed me. With this, I seem to [...]
