M Is For Marshmallow

Continuing the line of tasty names for its Android operating system, Google follows Lollipop (v5.0) with Marshmallow (v6.0).  Now the wait begins for all its creamy goodness.

Remove Blank Rows

This Google Sheets add-on makes the task of removing blank rows, which occurs fairly often in my life, a snap.  My old method was to select one or more blank rows, delete them, select some more, delete them, over and over again.  Tedium and a useless waste of time has been replaced with a few seconds effort.

Change Case

Change case is a handy Google Docs Add-on that can perform six different changes on selected text, as shown below. If the last two are unfamiliar, sentence case is when you only capitalize the first letter of the first word and title case capitalizes the first letter of each word.

Custom Select Hardware

I was in need of an additional cutlery divider and found this beauty at Custom Select Hardware. Simple to cut down to the size needed, just remove some screws from the back, cut with a table saw and reassemble.

Cigars International

You'll pay at least double to buy cigars in a retail shop.  The best prices I've found are at Cigars International.  They ship out of eastern Pennsylvania and their 2-8 day shipping always arrives in 2 days.

Slideshare.net

Slideshare is one of my go-to research sites.  It contains millions of presentations covering just about any imaginable topic.  Why reinvent the wheel on that next presentation you need to give when this wealth of information is right at your fingertips?

Query Express

Warning:  Techie Stuff Ahead!

Recently I was in need of a free (I love free) tool to perform a few SQL queries against a suspect database.  Since I'm nowhere near being a DBA (DataBase Administrator), and if you watch me type SQL queries that becomes completely obvious,  I don't have those tools available like the real pros do.  Query Express was the answer to my need, at my favorite price ($0).

Google Drive For Office

Google has released a small plug-in for Microsoft Office that connects into your Google Drive, making it easier to use the two together.  Who says we can't all get along?

Taj Ma Garaj

The Taj Ma Garaj is the coolest place to host a party, chock full of Posche's, VW's and other cars, and walls painted with memories and humor.  Who would believe this gem, which most people have never heard of, would be located in downtown Dayton Ohio?  If you get the chance to go to the Taj, don't miss it.

Bloom County 2015

Opus has returned!

Berkeley Breathed has brought back one of my favorite comic strips, posting them on his Facebook page.  It's been 25 years since Opus, Milo, Cutter John, Steve Dallas and Bill the Cat graced the meadows of Bloom County.  Awesome!
