I sure wish that the images for CD covers on albums were stored as embedded information within each MP3 instead of as separate files in the directory. If you really want to start thinking of your MP3 collection like your old-school CD collection (can you believe I just used “old-school” and CD collection in […]

I was reminded today of a real annoyance of mine when I’m trying to work with Outlook. Somewhat frequently in my week I receive an e-mail with a graphic or image in it that I need to do some editing. It’s not really any serious editing that needs to be done, just a notation […]

I was hanging out with a friend last night and he had a new mobile browser on his phone called Skyfire. It looked very similar to the functionality of the iPhone browser in allowing you to select an area on the page and then zoom into it as needed. That was in beta and […]

I’m really trying to develop and rely more on CSS for all of my formatting and colors for pages. I’m still teaching myself more on how to use it for positioning and layout, but I know that will come as I force myself to use it more.
One challenge I came across this morning with […]

Is it just me or did Microsoft’s Help and Support website get a little bit of a facelift? It’s not a huge change, but I think it looks great. Very clean and organized.
I wish I could say the same thing for Help & Support that’s embedded within most Microsoft software apps. The one […]

Why in the world can I not assign custom colors to categories? Perhaps more importantly why in the world can I not select the core primary and secondary colors? I know some of them are close but there’s not a YELLOW.
Why can’t I assign a completely solid color as well. All of these have […]

I just published a post over at Uncover the Internet about an application called RescueTime that allows you to track what applications and websites you spend all your time on during the day.
My initial thought was that this would be an interesting feature to get built into the operating system itself. What better application to […]

I made the “professional” switch over to ASP.NET development awhile back and began using Visual Web Developer Express (VWDE) for all my business clients with the day job. I’ve still kept Dreamweaver 8 installed though because I have a few clients that still use it so it’s nice to be able to open and view […]

I’ve thought of another feature I wish existed for a laptop. I frequently work on people’s computers for them. If I have them bring me their desktop machine I tell them to unplug everything and don’t worry about bringing me the monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc. I’ve got all of these things at my house […]

One of the things that I cannot believe doesn’t exist yet, or at least I haven’t found it, is the ability to completely control my PPC-6700 (or any smart phone for that matter) from my laptop’s keyboard and mouse.
If I’m docked in my USB cradle and the cradle is attached to my laptop, why […]
