You remember those old flip-style clocks? Those clocks are still pretty popular today, maybe it’s because of it’s simplicity and coolness, I know I like them. If you don’t want one next to your bed, you could get one thats your screen saver. Thats what my screen saver is, a flip-style clock and flips just like a real one. Where can you get this one might say, well you can download it for Windows or Mac and it’s free! Theres no silly ads on the screen saver anything along that nature. You can download the Flip-Style Clock Screen Saver at 9031.com You know what, i’ll give you the direct link to the download if your too lazy to browse to it, here you go When you click on the floppy disc (what’s a floppy disc?) theres a small menu that appears and you can choose to download it for Windows or Mac or also view the screen shot.
Read MoreI got bored today and wanted to record some birds out in our backyard and it’s very windy today, like probably wind gusts up to around 25-40mph and so I thought today would be a good chance to mess around with some foam and see if I can get it to fit on the top of my crappy USB microphone, I managed to do it. I mean it’s better than with out the foam, I can tell you that much. I would like to try other foam as well to see which one works the best. I couldn’t find much foam around the house, but I found a old still in package mop foam thing replacement that doesn’t fit our mop anymore, so I cut it up and tried to made it fit, though it split but where the mic was and where the split was, it didn’t really matter. So here are the results, you can hear when I opened the door to take off the window screen and you will tell the difference with and with out the windscreen.

The screen capture utility built into Vista didn’t make it into all versions of the OS. Here’s how to turn on if you have it how to upgrade if you don’t have it. ![]()
After I wrote Vista’s Snipping Tool, I noticed when I reinstalled my computer and went to go use the Snipping Tool, it wasn’t there! On another note, If you have Windows Vista Basic, you do not have the snipping tool. Vista Basic is basically Windows XP with a pretty face, It didn’t even come with Windows aero! and many other features that are featured in other versions of vista. So if you have Vista Basic, just upgrade to Vista Home Premium, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate (Vista Ultimate is the one I use). If you want to do more comparison, check out Paul Thurrott’s SuperSite for Windows.
So as long as you don’t have Vista Basic, you already have the Snipping Tool. (Choose Start, All Programs, Accessories, Snipping Tool) If you don’t see it there, it may not be activated. Which was my problem and I figured out how to activate the Snipping Tool. Go to Control Panel and Open Programs and Features (You will or may have to click Programs first). In the task pane on the left click Turn Windows features on or off. If Necessary click Continue when prompted by UAC (User Account Control).
Once you have the screen above visible, you may have to wait a few seconds for it load. Scroll through the lists of features, check the box next to Tablet PC Optional Components, and click OK. Turning on these features gives you not only the Snipping Tool, but also the Tablet PC input panel, Windows Journal and other stylus-related features.
