If you’re a blogger or reviewer, taking screencaps can be a real chore. That is, if you don’t invest on a good screen capturing software. Of the ones I’ve tried, Techsmith’s SnagIt is my favorite.

So many places have actually put limits to what you can get from the Net. Many schools have blocked social network sites and broadband hogs.

So here’s another one for the love of Firefox and Google services.
As a die-hard Google user, my Bookmarks Toolbar is filled with a lot of links to Google services. Why not, right? There’s nothing better than just clicking my way to them rather than typing the URL in my address bar (never mind if [...]

And Google continues to deliver. Google Docs and Spreadsheets just got a spiffy new look and I’m loving it.
The once lame documents list is now sporting an Explorer-type folders and documents allowing you to see how your documents are organized. Folders have replaced your tags. For some reason, it brings familiarity back to management. [...]

Update: And we are back with Illacrimo. Our intrepid designer just wasn’t happy enough with the way things looked, and had to go back and make it perfect.
I didn’t know that it wasn’t already, but then again, that’s why I am not a designer.

Perhaps one thing that I don’t like about Firefox is the status bar. It just plainly shows you the page’s loading progress. It’s a good thing it has become one of the common places for your installed extensions to hang out. But for a power user like me, just showing the progress bar and [...]

I have to admit that one of the things that kept me sane as a corporate monkey was Dilbert and the gang. I always wanted to go Dogbert in the office and go medieval on the Pointy-Haired Boss. Anyway, while you can probably find so many other sources for your doses of Dilbert online, [...]
