You’ve probably had the experience of spell checking a document. Spell checking software is great because it can save a lot of time and catch errors that you might have missed with your own eye. However, no spell checker is perfect.

Here’s some simple advice for using a spell checker, and what to do in MS Word if you screw up. Continued at Chicago Logo Design & Graphics...

Have you ever had a conversation with a braindead liberal who just keeps repeating dogmatic slogans to you? Sure you have, and this animated video (below) depicts a funny conversation like that, between an ideologue who supports the teachers unions and a slightly befuddled tax payer. The tax payer asks some intelligent questions about why the unions deserve more money, and the socialistic knee jerk answers given by the union drone are hysterical. Uploaded to YouTube by Battlefield315, who wrote, "A supporter of the teachers unions is questioned about her belief that the unions need more money and power." That's an understatement.

Here's a little tutorial I wrote today about creating an image ad on Craigslist. I wrote it while I posted my own ad there today with the image shown here.

There are a few steps in the tutorial, but they are all quite simple, and I'm sure you'll get the hang of it quickly. I show you not only how to place an image in a Craigslist ad, but also how to make your text and image cooperate by aligning properly on the page.The payoff is rewarding, both because you will learn something useful and because an image ad on Craigslist can be more effective that a plain text version. You can read the full tutorial at ChicagoLogoDesignGraphic.com.

An strange and glowing object was recently caught on video and witnessed by thousands of people in Siberia. The video shown below is of higher quality than most UFO videos are. It's also more controversial than many, and has the Russian government on the defense. Official claims that it was a meteor are not sitting well with those who saw it behaving more like a flying vehicle of some type.

AllNewsWeb reports this:

A witness, Ms. Saryan Nabulina, recalled that "I thought what I saw was a nuclear explosion, prior to this I did not believe in UFOs however now I do".

.... shortly after the event ... the Russian government went into what some saw as cover-up mode, declaring the object a meteor heading towards Earth.

One witness, Mr. Ilya Saratov was outraged at this explanation. "I saw the lights, split up and then merge. They were multi-colored and blinking. No way is this sighting not connected to something more mysterious from the cosmos." Read more...

March 2, 2011 - San Francisco - Apple CEO Steve Jobs, recently miniaturized, was injured yesterday when an iPad was accidentally set down on him during a press event at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

The accident happened as a product demonstrator misread his cues and did not see the tiny Jobs, who stood where the iPad was to be displayed. The demonstrator placed the iPad on top of Jobs, who suffered a number of broken bones was rushed to a nearby hospital. He is reported to be in stable condition today.

Scientists at Apple had secretly made Jobs shrink to a mere 2.5 inches in height just minutes before the event to demonstrate Apple's ability to make things smaller.

Apple's Chief of Miniaturization Dr. Robert Little, Ph.D. told Chicago News Bench, "We thought, wow, what a cool way to really emphasize just how thin and slim the new iPad is," said Dr. Little. "We never thought the product demonstrator would set the iPad on top of him. This is a tragedy for all of us. We hope he makes it."

The new iPad measures 9.5 by 7.3 by 0.34 inches, and weighs 1.33 pounds. Dr. Little points out, however, that to a man who is only 2.5 inches tall and weighing four ounces, the iPad is huge.

"It would be like having a small house set down on top of you," Dr. Little said. "Kind of like that witch in the Wizard of Oz, you know?"

Another Apple spokesman, who asked to remain anonymous, said he warned his colleagues to not miniaturize Steve Jobs. "This whole trend of making things smaller and smaller has gotten out of hand," he said. "You get to a point where small is good, but we've gone too far."

Dr. Little said that they cannot restore Steve Jobs to his original size until he has recovered from his injuries. "If we tried to do that," he said, "he would burst through the miniaturized body cast that he's in now. That would not be good."
