Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Hey. New board.

Yeah, for normal garden variety TV, I'm fine with medium-good quality.

Yeah, my standards for image quality are basically "Can I see it?"

This is me. But, apparently, much worse than even I realized. It came to light when I tried to share something with a friend and he ran from the room.

Sigh. I'm never actually surprised when I discover how low my standards really are.

Hey, does anyone use Screenflow 3?

I've watched a ton of tutorials and read the manual and _still_ cannot master fading an audio clip. If anyone feels proficient, I would be ubergrateful for some help, here, via email, skype...whatever!!

Looks like I really need to get MS Word on my Macbook: how do I do that? What do I look for in the App store?

You have to buy MS Office in order to get Word on your Macbook. I think you might be able to get it from Amazon.

It is not cheap. Are you sure you need Word? Meaning: can Pages or Google Docs do what you need?

I have an Office 365 subscription - I think Microsoft is trying to move everyone over to the subscription model:

Yes, they are, which is fucking annoying. Especially since I could get software at in-house prices.

But, regardless, there's no way I want to pay $100/year for it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Unless you absolutely are required to have Word, I'd go with OpenOffice or GoogleDocs.

Well, I have Open Office and a Google account, but the formatting just isn't perfectly compatible with Word. I tried converting back and forth from Word to OO last summer, and I couldn't leave comments in the text in OO: saving them to a .doc file made them all one comment, all mashed together. It's damned annoying.

All is well that ends in pizza.

How about to .docx?
