As I start off this week many of you have written me asking about other extensions. A friend who reads the articles, knowing how I use my computer, suggested I put in more extensions than I had originally planned. So, today I will continue by showing you the Chrome Browser Extensions I intended to. However,…
For several weeks, we have been looking at some of my favorite Chrome browser extensions. Last week we ended with a couple that could save you money while shopping online. Today we will start with one that makes your startup window better looking and functional too. “Leoh New Tab” is the next extension I will…
Last week I started a look at some of my favorite Chrome browser extensions. We started with “Behind the Overlay.” To learn how to install them check out last week’s column. Today we will start with one for your security. We all keep reading about protecting your privacy while online and I agree that is…
Before I get started on Chrome extensions, one thing about last week’s article, titled, “Read a Book”. I received emails from several readers regarding the article on places you can get eBooks, audiobooks, etc. There were several others that were suggested to me.

Over several of the past weeks we have talked about talking to your devices. Whether asking for them to give you directions, the temperature, local movies playing, the time, etc. We also spoke about dictating to some of your devices and word processors. For some it could, and does, make it much easier to type…
Time for Ron to do a little whining as two things have recently popped up that bug me. I figure they may also bother a few of you. They are local phone number calls and Facebook tracking us. This week Phone issues, next week Facebook. I posted to Facebook (this is not about tracking yet),…
Before I start on today’s column I have a little flashback to last week. I mentioned other voice recognition apps like Office’s new Dictate.ms last week.
