Friday Fun (And More) At The End Of May
This week has been a rather busy one at my shop, and I have not had time to write new articles. Fortunately, tech blogger (and friend) Rick Robinette is always posting something interesting, and I can use him as a “sub” — I am sure you can find an interesting topic (and get your ‘tech tip fix’) from this list of his recent articles…
“..I did experience a TV Screen Size issue, in the Windows Media Center, where the TV display aspect ratio was locked into the 4:3 (square display) mode and would not let me change it to the 16:9 (widescreen display) mode.”
“My “go to” online internet radio source is RadioTuna. It has been my favorite for nearly a year and half…”
“Have you ever noticed that when you go to print out a web page, what you see is not what you always get? “
“Recently I was looking for a way to autohide the bookmark bar in the Google Chrome Browser.“
Hopefully you are already familiar with Rick’s website; but if you are not, do yourself a favor and click a link and take a look. He is one of my few remaining “daily reads”.
Elephant Is Bigger Than The Moon: Did you hear about Kathy Evans on the game show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Supposedly the dumbest human ever, right?
Hate to tell you, but that email is a hoax (see this Snopes article) as are most “forwarded” emails. But, apparently enough people believe this one.. I am kind of glad it isn’t true… ‘cuz if it was? What would that say about the American public education system?
Oh. Yeah. The same thing everyone’s been saying for decades…
* The key to successful lying – put as much truth in the lie as possible.
Today’s quotable quote: “Whether you think you can or think you can’t – you are right. ~ Henry Ford
Today’s fun video:
Kind of made me wonder about the “news commentators”… but they are being paid to talk..
Bonus reading reco: Android apps to get the summer party started
“A good way to have a good summer season is by using smartphone apps to help make the best of those fun times. Here are some good Android apps to get the summer party started.“
A pretty picture..
I am going to be slaving away this whole weekend, but I hope you all have a good (leisurely) one!

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.

Wow, Paul… I was just at my site checking in and I noticed all of these link backs coming in and here it was my good friend on the west coast.
Thank you very, very much! Have a safe holiday weekend.
