Well, now that the Beta for CS 2008 is out, I can safely point out a feature that is remarkabley reminicent of a suggestion I gave nearly two years ago. http://trefry.net/blogs/michael/archive/2006/07/13/649.aspx I am of course referring to the new Media...

10-06-2007 Return to Blogging

Well it’s coming up on a year since I wrote, and I feel pretty bad about that. My only excuse is that since I broke off from the corporate world to work on my own, I’ve been pretty busy. It’s strange. While I thought that I would have more time to myself...

08-14-2006 Blogging from Word 2007

I just found out about this feature of Microsoft Word 2007 (beta 2), so I had to try it out. For the most part you can ignore this post, if it works, you’ll know it’s a pretty cool feature. If it look like junk, you’ll know it still needs work

08-11-2006 Resume of George W. Bush

I recieved this by email from a co-worker and thought it was a wonderful run-down of our current president and his administration. However, because I refuse to be part of the chain-mail problem, I won't forward this to every voter that I know. Instead...
