Screencasting

I was just introduced to screencasting.
I'm really excited to try it out!

I write thousands of emails that are basically How To guides every year. By creating a screencast, I can now just link the enquirers to these guides, and maybe they will be able to browse through themselves saving everyone tons of time. Not that I mind speaking to anyone, and I love helping them out, but our email is unreliable and frustrating to use now, and to have everything gathered in a permanent place with visuals and audio, that is going to help a lot!

Now I just have to justify the purchase :)

Author Names

Ever want to read a book to a class, or recommend a read to a peer only to find yourself at a loss as to how exactly to say that tricky Author name?

Fear not!

The members of the LM_NET listserv have been there, felt the pain, and done something about it. They have an online pronunciation dictionary for author names here:

Feel free to peruse and use the list, and you may even request additions, submit corrections, and send gratuitous praise at the email address provided.

Have fun!

It's happened to me. I have a cool photo I want to share, but it needs to be cropped, or one of the people has red eyes, or it's sideways, and I need to rotate it 90 degrees, only....I don't have a photo editing program on the computer, or handy.

Now, you can do these simple photo edits online!
