Lives of great men all remind us we may make our lives sublime. And in passing leave behind us footprints in the sands of time. Behind some men's footprints, however, is something that looks disturbingly like the marks of a dragging tail ...

TechSmith | Jing, instant screenshots and screencasts, home
Yeah, if you're not using this for all your quick n' dirty documenting needs then there's something wrong with your head.
Screen cap, simple video ... arrows ... text boxes ... highlighting ... this does 99% of whatever you need without spending a dime.
It's a No-Duh situation.

Sign up for Spotify or you're stupid.
- Dave Foster In my very very long relationship with software and software companies I have very very rarely ever actually respected any piece of software enough to pay for it. Perhaps a dozen, if that, over the years have been deemed worthy of my luchre. I have been waiting to examine Spotify now since learning of it about two years or so ago, but its use was limited to Europe and the UK at that time (although I tried for a while to apply some, errrr 'workarounds' to skirt that limitation, but was unsuccessful) and so I relented and used ATROCIOUS and DEPLORABLE rank exercises in SHITE like iTunes and a few others that have earned little aplomb enough to be mentioned. Now it is available in the USA and I have this to say: If you listen to music, use a computer, smart phone, etc. and you don't get this and at least try it out then you are beneath my contempt and I do not like you any more.
- Dave Foster Pay money. Buy the $4.99 a month version or, if you use a smartphone, splurge for the $9.99 a month version. If you don't like it, cancel and move on with what passes as your life. But you will indeed like it. It has room for improvement, don't get me wrong, but that's the neat thing. That software THIS GOOD can still be better, gradually as its popularity increases (and it will) fanbase will determine and demand and will get the little tweaks that should be added to make Spotify the dominate music source of the planet. Pandora, iTunes, and even my beloved Last.fm (which Spotify must respect, too, as it allows you to scrobble tunes to Last.FM) will bow their heads to Spotify out of sincere respect.

Navy considers naming Ship after Cesar Chavez
Navy considers naming ship after Cesar Chavez
Posted : Monday May 16, 2011 19:58:26 EDT
SAN DIEGO — The Navy is considering naming a cargo ship that’s being built after farmworker activist Cesar Chavez.
James Gill, a spokesman for General Dynamics NASSCO in San Diego, said Monday the company suggested the name to honor its mostly Hispanic work force and the mostly Hispanic neighborhood, Barrio Logan, where the boat builder is located.
The other 13 cargo ships built by NASSCO for the Navy have been named after such notable Americans as explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, and famed aviator Amelia Earhart.
Chavez would be the first Mexican American in that group. He is credited with helping to secure a U.S. law that recognized farmworkers' rights to organize unions and engage in collective bargaining. Chavez died in 1993 at the age of 66.
