Another week already! This week I have lessons learned from IT, computer case mods, a screenshot tutorial, some photos of bands from the 70’s, recycling junk mail, and more. If you like any of the links, let me know. But, if you really like one of the articles, go ahead and leave a comment on the author’s site, rather than mine. Enjoy!

I love the Swedish Dance Bands! If only there were mp3’s to go along with the pictures. :-)
Ron Obvious’s last blog post – Way ahead of his time.
Thanks for the links as usual. DBT’s RSS tips, I had gone through already… will have to read GIMP tips as I am struggling with it and no money to buy Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro
Cheers,

Ajith Edassery’s last blog post – Who is your real idol blogger?
Thanks for the links, especially the screen shots/PhotoShop one — a great tutorial!
Mike Nichols’s last blog post – Dizzy? It May Be an Anxiety Disorder!
@Ron/Jim – Oh man, mp3’s would be awesome. I guess I could start searching but it might be impossible.
@Ajith – The gimp is a little hard to get used to but I don’t think it’s any harder than Photoshop and it’s almost as powerful. There are a lot of good tutorials out there. Maybe I will try to dig some up this week.
@Mike – Thanks! I’ve got some reading to do on your site too.
Kim – these are fab links. I really loved the Guy Kawasaki one on Twitter. I hadn’t heard of Smores before – aside from the ones you eat.
Aw, I guess I didn’t make the bar this week. I’ll keep trying.
Great links Kim!
Wesley’s last blog post – Testing time stamp.
@Cath – Thank! I try to provide an eclectic mix – I collect the links throughout the week.
@Wesley – Thanks!
Kim,
I can’t believe how much I keep running into the Swedish bands thing. That is too funny.
Thanks for the list. That will keep me busy throughout the day for sure!
Cheers
