An Uplifting Read

"...And here's the deal: Forget that this task of planet-saving is not possible in the time required. Don't be put off by people who know what is not possible. Do what needs to be done, and check to see if it was impossible only after you are done."

The above is an excerpt from Paul Hawken's 2009 commencement address to the University of Portland. The full speech can be found here:

That Day Then

Caught between a rock and a hard place, a man recalls the grace that is the simplicity of freedom:

Friar Tuck has Heart Attack, Maid Marian Weeps

"Citi boosting salaries to offset lower bonuses"

MSWord: losing the underline that won't go away

Today I offer a handy MSWord tip. So: you're in MSWord and you hit the underscore key a few times in a row to create a handy break only a few characters wide, but the program imposes a big black horizontal line.

You try to delete the big black line but it is impervious to every effort. How do you get rid of that dagnabbid thing?!

Here's how:

Go to: Format> reveal formatting > seek, "Borders: Bottom" select "none"

Et non voila!

Ben Impey: Everyday

It's my favorite guitarist/composer performer again:

Instant Karma

I've been meaning to point out the little irony that some bank is using this tune for a credit card ad campaign right now.



Question is: Who sold it to 'em, (and did they pay cash?)

"Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brother's
Everyone you meet."
