Excel
What’s that, you know, the thing in Excel where you can stop stuff scrolling…? It was Office 2003 so I had to show the Window Menu>Freeze Panes command and explain, demo, how it freezes rows/columns to the left & above the selected cell. That led me

SnagIt
I was doing some screen captures today on a test machine without Snagit. It’s a miserable experience when something that’s usually so seamless and easy, with Snagit installed, becomes hard. A Snip + Paint does not match a Snag!
AutoCAD
Be sure to register for a webcast with Autodesk CEO Carl Bass and Senior VP Amar Hanspal coming up this week. Last year I had the privilege of seeing a similar event live (a webcast without the web!) and the effort that goes into production was amazing. This year I’

TypePad
If you're a TypePad blogger and if you see something here you think worth sharing (yes, that is two big IFs!) things just got easier. A new TypePad feature I’m trying has added a Reblog button at the bottom of each post. Click it to launch an

I don’t know Peter, other than via following his his “Not PC” personal blog for several years, but do like his style. Have a look at his architectural blog which recently launched with a lot of content. While it is a “commercial blog”, as features his work, there are

I have no desire to own a Prius, but this is one hybrid I could happily tolerate… Ferrari: il funzionamento del propulsore ibrido spiegato in video The animation is pretty impressive too.
