Today I was over at Ted Murphy‘s (@tedmurphy) blog and I saw he had an interesting tip for iPhone users. He had posted a screenshot of a program on his iPhone and immediately got lots of comments asking him how to do it. “To take a screenshot with an iPhone simply press the sleep and…
Make More than One Set of HP Recovery CDs or DVDs
If you’ve bought an HP (Hewlett-Packard) laptop in the last few years, you’ve got a nifty tool on your side called the PC Recovery Disc Creator. The only bugger is, the program will only create one set of recovery discs, ever. If you check the HP FAQ, the reason for this is due to licensing…
Rock Some Web Comics
If you haven’t checked any out before, web comics are some of the best ways to kill some time online. I’m not necessarily talking about your Dilberts and your Fox Trots (sounds like a disease I had once), but the “indie” comics out there usually hosted on the author’s web page. My favorites are the…

Things to Do This Week
Got a few things on my plate this week. I’m digging in to try and get as connected as possible with the folks at IZEA and the IZEA Insiders – I’ve met a few cool people prior to this week (Drew at BenSpark.com, @Heather in BC) and I’ve started following some interesting people on Twitter…
MagNext Virtual: A Safe, Fun, Family-Friendly MMORPG
For what is essentially a flash game, MagNext Virtual is a pretty amazing concept. It’s a family-friendly game where a player is represented by a small virtual ball (that you can customize, but more on that later). You move the ball around the space with your mouse, and you can visit the virtual shop, or…

For the next part of our “Linux for n00bs” series, you’re going to be preparing your hard drive to install Linux. I may be taking a big leap here, but if you’ve been successful so far with burning the Ubuntu Install CD, you’re probably also familiar with the term “hard drive.” Usually, on any given…
