A year-end selection of favorite posts
The nature of the blog format is that much of its content is ephemeral. Events quickly render the postings obsolete or irrelevant. This is true in spades for a blog devoted to the fast-moving world of technology. Thus most of my scribblings quickly lose whatever interest that they may have initially had and are soon consigned to oblivion among their 1200+ brethren. However, there are a precious few that I feel are worth excavating from obscurity and noting as we mark the end of the year.
- First are some posts in the general category of commentary:
- Fractured French on the Internet
- English 101
- A little computer history
- Are kids really better at computers than adults?
- Make computers less complicated
- Next are some favorite tips and tweaks:
- Make Disk Cleanup work faster
- Managing “My Recent Documents”

- A really easy way to show your file extensions in Windows XP
