Mark's Views, Perhaps — from behind my eyeballs
That’s what I was working on early this morning, as I began the mad rush to finish writing the last lesson of a multi-year project I’ve been on for Christian Light Education.
I needed a figure to illustrate one item on my checklist. So, I set up a quick photo shoot next door. This is now Figure 2 in Lesson 14 of LightUnit 10 of CLE’s new course on LibreOffice: Read it all

You can also choose how you start your Windows experience – at the Start screen or the desktop. The Start button is back. And there is an improved Apps view that allows you to see all your apps the way you want.
Better yet, you can purchase the updated windows over at Amazon.
If you use Windows 8, please tell us three things you like about it. And one you don’t.
I had set out to do an overdue update to the ThinkVantage software on my IBM ThinkPad
All went well until I tried to install the ThinkPad Configuration Update. Overall progress went to 99%, then backtracked to 98%, then eased back up to 99% again. Back and forth, back and forth.

I searched Google. I searched Lenovo’s forums. I found no help. Read it all
So you have an ebook ready for market — or well on its way to being ready, like I do — but you need a cover.
What software or service should you I use to design that cover? (I updated this post at the end on October 18, 2012.)
I did some minimal research and came across an outfit called MyeCoverMaker. With a name like that, what’s there not to like? (Some free options closed the deal for me.) Read it all
Welcome to today’s test of your powers of observation and deduction.
I have two mere-seconds-apart screen captures from my Dell Dimension 3000.
