The Onion did this video a few years ago and I couldn't get over how funny this video was... and still can't.

This video is one of my all-time funniest ever watched, maybe especially because I'm not an iPad fan :)

This video is just hilarious! The Onion does it again!

The latest version of Microsoft Office has introduced new file formats with an "x" in the extension.  This poses a major problem for anyone who doesn't have the latest version of Office, as they cannot open the document.

To get around this, you need to convert the document to the older format, but you simply just can't rename the file - that won't work.  You need to do a proper conversion. For example, if you have .docx file, you need to convert it to a .doc format.

Here's a nifty little hassle-free website that can do file conversions for you in just a few seconds: http://www.convertfiles.com/

I use it occasionally and recommend it to others. You don't need to login or register; you don't need to put a credit card in or even provide an e-mail address either.  It just works quickly and easily.

Here's a nice site, offered by Google, with videos to help parents (and other non-techies) learn about computers and the web. I love this idea, and I think this could be very helpful for all us techies out there to better server our non-technical family members and friends :)

New Radiohead song... love the lyrics.  Makes me think of the battle between a person's true self and ego - Eckhart Tolle stuff.  Wicked song.

They call him the master of gloom boom and doom.  It's a pretty interesting discussion about the state of US economy and the impact on interest rates.

This post is about a feature available in Firefox 3.0, Clear Private Data, that allows you to delete all or part of your saved history. The feature was updated in Firefox 3.5 and is now named Clear Recent History. This feature is very useful because it allows you to clear all or part of your saved history items and specify how much of your history is cleared such as the last hour or everything.

If you're like me, you assumed that if I cleared the Form and Search History from the Clear Recent History window that my Form Autocomplete information would be reset.  But it doesn't - Firefox remembers what you enter in forms on web pages, also known as text fields. After you've entered something into a form on a web page (such as a search box), the next time you visit that page, your previous entry will appear like this:

The trouble is that if you mistyped your login name in Firefox, it saves the wrong entry as well as the correct one!  If you have renamed your username on sites, the old usernames are still there too.

But alas! there is a way to get rid of unwanted entries but this feature seems completely undocumented in Firefox as I was only able to find this solution on Google.  Here's how:

Go to the form where the unwanted value is, put your cursor in the text entry field, hit the down key until the incorrect entry is highlighted, and then press SHIFT + DEL.  Firefox will remove the unwanted entry from its cache or history.

Here's an awesome video about motivation.  It's so true, many people just want to go good work to make the world a better place...
