So, not only is Basic Instructions one of the best comics I've read, but creator, Scott Meyer is one of the funniest stand-up comics I've ever heard. Check out his shtick.

Dang, Dawg!
Children of this generation appear to be confused. Two days ago, I was at Dairy Queen enjoying a tasty treat. I overheard a lanky white girl, roughly 14 years old, shout across the room to her small group of white female friends "Dang, dawg!" She had a heavy South Texas accent and sounded completely ridiculous. Her outburst was followed by normal discourse. Her friends didn't call her out on it or anything. They just accepted it as normal speech. I couldn't help but think, "damn, that girl is wack!"

Thought of the day
There comes a time in every man's life when he wants to dress like an adult. I've yet to reach that point in my own life, however, I do want to dress less like a little girl.

WORD!
I was fooling around in MS Word again, and I found a quick shortcut that I think everyone should know. It's one that I've never bothered to search for, but I've always wondered what it is... So, fire up those word processors and I'll let you in on the secret.
You can easily toggle between ALL CAPS and standard caps!
•Step 1 - Type a word... any word... try "Word".
•Step 2 - Place your cursor over in the middle of the word and hit "CTRL+SHIFT+A"
Neat, 'eh? Try it again... IT REVERTS BACK! Yeah, it's that simple.
You can thank me later.

Crop & Rotate Your Prospective
In my line of work, I see a lot of desktop backgrounds. I've seen everything from default Microsoft backgrounds to terrible MS paint "artwork", but there is NOTHING that annoys me more than terrible photographs.
It astounds me that someone could choose an out of focus or poorly composed photo to be the poster child of their personality. Your background is an extension of your self. It speaks volumes about you. I cringe when I see a non-rotated, stretched, or squashed photograph haphazardly applied to a user's desktop. If a photo is so special to you, why not take the time to display it with the respect and dignity it deserves? Let's say you lack the skill set to click the "rotate" and "auto adjust" feature in Picasa, then ask your friend to modify it for you!
Don't even get me started on how ugly your children are. Seriously, ugly people... I'm talking to you... It's bad enough that you've reproduced - Must you plaster your ugly baby's face on your computer screen?

The WORD of the day is 'Macro'
Ok, so I've always hated that when I paste something in Microsoft Office, it comes with the origional formatting. I'll admit that most of the time, it comes in handy, but it's frequently annoying. There are many times when I want to paste without formatting. Tonight, I did some research and stumbled across this article.
Thanks to this article, I've also found a quick and easy way to "Save As". Because the majority of applications I use have implemented "Ctrl+Shift+S" for "Save As", I've now added that as a shortcut key. Note that office already does this with the F12 key, but that's just not intuitive enough for me. I also added a shortcut for paste without formatting function: "Ctrl+Shift+V". That way I can easily paste without formatting if I need to. I used this macro:
Sub PasteUnformattedText()
' PasteUnformattedText Macro
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText
End Sub
For Office 2007, The macro button is under the "View" and "Developer" Ribbons. The "Customize" option is under the Office Logo (File Menu), then "Word Options", then "Customize", and There is a "Keyboard shortcuts" button at the bottom.
Do you know any awesome Office tweaks?
