The Windows  Live Writer is finally out of Beta. I've enjoyed using it as a Beta Product for the past year and have seen it come a long way.

Jing

Tired of writing lengthy documents to explain something that you could more easily show someone? Jing might just be the aspirin for that headache. With Jing you can create a quick video including voice. It saves it as flash so you can open it with almost any browser, and it takes a lot less time than creating a doc with screen shots. The best part is that it's free... check it out.

Amazing Editing

I came across this again today and it is so amazing I just had to post it. I can't imagine the hours it took to cut this all together. Props go to Corey who linked to it earlier.

So… what’s wrong with Michigan?

It seems that almost all of Michigan has very low resolution when you look at all the satellite images of it. True there are some very good images in the more densely populated areas but most of the images look like this one…. Can you guess where the state line is?
