Gmail

I would like to talk briefly about Gmail.
If you don’t already have a Gmail account, now is the time to get one.
Gmail has a bunch of features that make it worth the few seconds of time it takes to set it up.

Recently the Gmail team released a new feature called themes. This goes along with the theme concept that was released for iGoogle over a year ago. Basically you can customize what your inbox looks like.
I chose the Desk Theme.

I chose this theme because it has a wood background which matches everything else I have.
Anyway, it is a nice feature.

A feature that was released a little while ago in gmail was “labs” which is where the gmail team tests out different features before implementing them. I like these lab features. Some of them include the ability to have google docs and google calendar on the page. Or the ability to put the chat box on the other side of the window. You can see both of these being use in the above screen shot.

To access these features, click on the setting button, and then click on labs, or themes.
If you don’t have some of these features available, don’t worry. They are so new that the Gmail team has not got all of the features rolled out to everyone yet.

What theme will you chose?

Mickey Mouse / Wall-E

Well today is a very special mouses birthday.
Mickey Mouse is celebrating his 80th birthday today.

For 80, he sure looks young.

Back in November of 1928 Mickey Premiered with his very first Cartoon - Steamboat Willie.

Since that time Mickey has stared in countless cartoons and TV Shows.
He has also made a bunch of new friends.



Happy Birthday Mickey Mouse!!!


As a side note, Wall-e released today on DVD and Blue-ray. I will have my copy tomorrow, and I am excited to watch the movie, the extra shorts, and deleted scenes that will be on it.

Wall-e DVD

The Wall-e DVD comes out on Tuesday, so Disney has released some papers about some things that will be on the DVD.

The first one is a list of facts that are quite interesting.

The second one is a list of things to look for in the Wall-e EVE.

Is anyone as excited for its release as I am?
If you are, you can pre-order it from amizon.com, or walmart.com.

What you can do with a computer

I am always amazed what bit of creativity and a bunch of time can produce.
These videos I found on YouTube. They are all computer controlled objects. Basically you set it up with a bunch of outputs, then just time each output to go on or off at a specific time.

The First one is a water fountain in a mall in Canal City Japan.

This one is a bunch of Christmas lights set to music.

This last one here is from a new show on Discovery Channel called Prototype This. In this episode they are trying to build a boxing robot that responds to your movements. The video does not show it very well, but it is really cool what they came up with.

Are there any videos out there of computer controlled things that I don't know about. If there is, please let me know.

Use the Keyboard

At work recently, I have been teaching people how to run the website once I am gone. And it is hard for them to understand what I want because I use keyboard shortcuts all the time. I will just call out the keys, and expect them to know what I mean. Well not everyone knows keyboard shortcuts, so I thought I would post some that I use all the time.
Note, for window, use the window button next to the crtl button. Also, when a + is written, it means use the keys at the same time, or press the key and hold then press the next.

Ctrl + c = copy
Ctrl + v = paste
Ctrl + x = cut
Ctrl + b = bold (Microsoft Word)
Ctrl + u = underline (Microsoft Word)
Ctrl + i = italic (Microsoft Word)
Ctrl +e = center align (Microsoft Word)
Ctrl + l = left align (Microsoft Word)
Ctrl + r = right align (Microsoft Word)
Ctrl + f = find
Ctrl + w = close active document
Ctrl + t = new tab (browser)
Alt + f4 = close active program
Window + e = Explore – opens My Computer
Window + d = show desktop
Alt + tab = view other task (press tab to go to different task as listed in the box. You must have 2+ programs open)

There are a lot of Keyboard Shortcuts, but these are the ones I use the most. If you want more, you can search Windows Help for them.

Are there any keyboard shortcuts that you use all the time that I might of missed?

How We Affect Others

Sometimes I wonder how much my words and actions effect people. To understand this I tend to look at my own life and how other people have affected me.
I would like to share some experiences along this line in order to convey my thoughts.
As we all know, the people around us can affect the way we act, and the way we think. For instance, when I am with my family I am often angry and impatient, where as when I am with my friends I am usually calm and patient and willing to go along with what others want to do as long as it fits into my moral standards. Most of the time I am very quiet when I am in a group of friends, or in a meeting, but when I am in a one on one conversation with a friend, I can be very opinionated. When I am in a group where something has to be done, I tend to take charge and get it done, but in most circumstances I do not like to volunteer for anything. When I am among a bunch of people that I don’t know, I tend to stick close to a dark corner, and hope to go unnoticed.
Why are we like this? Why do we change who we are when we are with different groups of people?
Well some of it is characteristics that we were born with. For instance, I am often put in a position of leadership where I am depended on to make sure something is done. I believe that I was born with the characteristic of being a leader, and even though I am not a very good leader at times, I work hard and it usually works out.
But a lot of it is that we act upon what other people think of us and teach us. Even if we don’t like that person, there opinions affect us. A lot of our habits came from our parents. They teach us there knowledge, and we become who we are by what we are thought. For instance, I would never go to an auto repair shop to fix a car, I can fix it my self. I am this way because my father is this way.
More then just our parents affect us, we are effected by a lot of people. I remember an experience back in 4th grade where I was made fun of for breathing hard after riding my bike to school. The person who made fun of me probably does not remember, but it is still a very vivid experience in my mind. I believe that this experience and many others are the reason why, as I mentioned, I like to stick close to dark corners and try to go unnoticed. This I believe is also why I use a picture I have made, and not a picture of my self as my display picture.
In contrast, I have a bunch of friends who are very careful not to say anything that would make anyone feel lower then them. I have great respect for these friends because they are working hard every day to be the best they can be. They may not realize it, but these friends have affected many people in good ways. One example of this is a person I met a while ago who, when I met him, was a very quite person. He has been part of this group of friends, and over the past few years I have seen him change. He has become a person who you can carry a conversation with without any problem. Through this group of friends he has become more confident.

As I look at these experiences I wonder if I have ever said anything that has ever hurt someone.
I realize that my opinion of people often effects what I say to them. For instance, when I am with someone I don’t like, I tend to have a frustrated tone in my voice even though I try not to make it evident that I don’t like that person. Where as when I am around people that I don’t have any problem with I tend to be very sarcastic. If I am very angry with someone, I tend to show that anger, and I think that is when I say things that can be hurtful. So I guess I have something to work on there. In most cases, I try to keep my mouth shut and listen until I am required to talk, that way I can keep the hurtful comments to a minimum.

Anyway, what do you think about how words and actions effect people?
