What else can we say? It's Friday again!
It's a little like a yard sale this week...all kinds of weird stuff.
Well, it's not really "weird," just a couple how-to's, a bunch of free fonts, and a trip to Disney World. When you're done checking out the links, come on over to our Facebook page and answer this week's question.
We'll see you there!
Creating screen captures with Mac OS X and Windows.
Screen captures -- "pictures" of what's on your computer screen -- can be used for all sorts of things. You can use a series of screen captures to document how to perform a task in Word; you can "take a picture" of the contents of a folder; or take a snapshot of a crazed celebrity's Twitter messages and email it to your friends. All kinds of stuff! The built-in screen capture function is also surprisingly flexible allowing you to specify what parts of the screen you save and how. We've put together a list of tips and keyboard commands for both Mac and Windows computers. Read more >>
50 free fonts!
Hey, who doesn't like free stuff? Fortunately it seems that there's always somebody out there doing the legwork to gather up collections of freebies. Here's a collection of fun display fonts and even a few good-looking text fonts. Enjoy! Take a look! >>

No-- we're not talking about the cover, we're talking about the inside. All that text. Pages and pages of it! You'll be surprised to learn all the effort that goes into the design and layout of a book. Just so you won't notice it. Read on! >>
Create a photo studio on your kitchen table!
Granted, it's a rather small photo "studio" but at least you'll be taking some awesome photos of your rare collectible spoons and they'll wind up selling for big bucks on Ebay. And it'll all be due to the awesome photos. Read on! >>
The buildings at Disney theme parks aren't quite as tall as they seem...
Disney's Imagineers make use of a technique called "forced perspective" to make buildings and other structures appear taller than they really are. Go take a look behind the scenes at Disney World during the construction of "Beast Castle" and see just how tall it isn't! Let's go! >>
