2006 Darwin Awards Are Here

As some of you know I'm a great fan of pointing out individuals would should be Darwin Award winners or runners up. Anyway without being long winded the 2006 winners are here.

For those of you who have never heard of the awards here's a little blurb explaining further:
"Named in honor of Charles Darwin, the Darwin Awards salute the improvement of the human genome by honoring those who accidentally remove themselves from it, thus ensuring that the next generation is one idiot smarter. Of necessity, the Awards are generally bestowed posthumously."
Update: This kid deserves a Darwin award....I know I always try to plug-in electronics when I'm dripping wet having just come out of the pool :D DUH!

Keyboard Shortcuts (Part I)

People often notice that I don't use the mouse as much as most people. Personally I find it much quicker to do a lot of tasks using the keyboard. Therefore I've decided to post a list of keyboard shortcuts from time to time. Hopefully you'll enjoy them and and find them useful like I do. When editing text: ctrl + arrow (Left or Right) > Move the insertion point left or right entire words. ctrl + shift + arrow (Left or Right) > Highlight entire words (left or right of the insertion point). double click > Highlight an entire word. triple click > Highlight an entire line (not sentence). shift + home > Highlight from the insertion point to the start of the line. shift + end > Highlight from the insertion point to the end of the line.
