I went through almost my entire college career without taking notes. I found that when I took notes I was busy writing and missed what I really needed to get from the lecture. I was/am not good at shorthand; neither the genuine one nor my own made up version. Lo-and-behold, technology triumphs again! This creative…
Amy wrote recently and asked what tool I use for screenshots on my site and in training manuals I have written. I told her I wrote about that five or so years ago, but it may be time to review. First, what is a screenshot? A screenshot is pretty much defined by its name. It…
Over the years not once have I mentioned MMS and only once SMS (and then only as an aside). If you check with my wife and many friends it is because I just do not like this technology much at all. I find it a waste of time. Too lengthy. And then there is that…
Last week I gave you a better way to prep your Android devices before getting rid of them. Dana wrote and asked me a great question related to that process. Although I am well aware of it from personal experience, I had never thought about mentioning here. So thanks, Dana, for the idea; I think…
As you regular readers know I am a fan of Google and yet on occasion they fail me totally. Mostly this is due to them doing away with applications I use and enjoy: Google Reader, Calendar Sync, iGoogle, Google Notebook just to name a few. But I enjoy their products so much that I have…
This week I will continue with the second half of the links we talked about last year at DoubleClicks.info. Remember, if the site addresses are too long to type I have shortened them with bit.ly.

It was born at the end of 2001. It was greatly received as most everyone who experienced it loved it much better than many of its predecessors. It entered our computing lives at that time and continued on in new computers into 2010. It was supposed to disappear from our screens several years ago. However,…
Time and technology march on. A couple of months ago I wrote about the Nexus 7 and how it compared to my first tablet which was a Toshiba Thrive. Since then they have come out with a new Nexus 7, called…are you ready for this snazzy name? "Nexus 7 (2013)" Yeah, they even use the…
I receive questions about those goofy, hard to read letters which are found on many websites from time-to-time. They are known as “Captchas.” Yes, a nonsensical word, unless you are a geek. It actually stands for the word, “capture.” Now that you just repeated them both in your mind, you are nodding – you get…
Last week we looked at Gmail’s General Settings. As a result of your emails, today we move on to Gmail Labels. You get to Labels the same way you got to General Settings last week. You must first be logged into your Gmail account (gmail.com). Then look to the upper right corner and hover the…
