One utility program I especially enjoy using is the Microsoft Windows System Configuration Utility. This is, of course, because I am a Windows OS user (Windows Vista). So, for those of you using other operating systems, you will have to consult with the documentation of your OS to discover a comparable utility program. In short, [...]

Ideas are everything. Ideas are the foundation of all great documents, designs, projects, and success stories. But where can we find and discover these great ideas?

When I was in high school, I had a summer reading list that I had to complete between each year. Usually, there were about four or five books I had to read. Fortunately, back in those days, there was no Internet to distract me! Just kidding. Actually, my summer reading lists were a mix of [...]

When you watch an older movie from the 1950s, 1960s and even 1970s, many times you will see characters who fulfill traditional roles in terms of how they appear.

Alright, I admit it. I am a big fan of Microsoft Windows. Why? Because since the original release of Windows 95, this Operating System (OS) has provided me with countless work opportunities as both a Technical Writer and Software Trainer.

Some Thoughts on Open Source

Keith Johnson — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:06:22 PDT

Currently, I am at home recovering from a recent surgery and so have been putting some extra time into my computing experience, aside from work responsibilities, to get my mind away from the physical experience of recovery. I am amazed at all of the Open Source programs that are available to users, it is really [...]
