Quick Tip

Google Pig Latin

When our kids are young, we spell things out to keep secrets from them, right? Well, as my son got older and smarter, I used Pig Latin – that is, until the other day when he suggested I write a tip on Google's Pig Latin mode.

So, here's how:

Just browse over to Google.com and search Google Pig Latin. Click the first link in the search results.

What you'll get is a Google interface that's entirely in Pig Latin (except for the Google name, of course – have to keep the brand name legible, you know!).

Give it a try! It might not be 100% useful, but it's certainly fun for the whole family! Thanks, son!

Computers 101

Greg asks:

What would be the difference between the cut/paste command to that of the delete command in terms of data recovery. e.g. if I delete something from my C: drive, I could usually get it back using recovery software providing it has not been overwritten. But if I cut a file from my C: drive and paste it in my USB D: drive, will I be able to recover it from my C: drive using recovery software as easily as if I was to delete it and then recover it?

This question was in response to an earlier Worldstart tip, which can be found here.

Hi, Greg! It's not often that a question gets me stumped, but this one did! Good job!

Okay, we agree that you can delete a file from your C: drive and recover it if it hasn't been overwritten. We want to know if it's as easy (or easier) to recover the cut data with recovery software as it is to recover deleted files.

I got on the internet and looked through forums and got all kinds of "Yes, you can recover cut files with recovery software" to "No way, dude. Once you cut it's like – um – gone. Bummer."

Then I went through different kinds of recovery data software, which did the old "Yes, we can recover everything you have ever deleted or cut in the last 27 years."

I downloaded and installed two of them (very highly recommended by highly recommendable editors), and then I went and made a new document named CUT AND RECOVER OR NOT and put it in a folder of the same name on the desktop. Then I went through the process of data recovery and guess what?

I got nuttin'. (Had you excited there for a minute, though, huh?)

Then I decided to try something on a hunch. I went through the whole cut and paste process again (the folder that I had created named CUT AND RECOVER OR NOT) and when it was gone – cut – forever lost, there was (of course) a blank spot where my folder/document had been (I will not bore you with a screen shot). Then I did this:

image

I right-clicked in an empty area of my desktop and guess what showed back up on my desktop?

image

See, when you cut data, it is never really gone. If you look, when you click on Cut, the folder just dims a little; it doesn't disappear. Then when you paste it into your USB drive, the folder disappears. That's because it was only moved. You moved it to your USB drive. Thus, clicking Undo Move moves it back.

Points to remember when recovering "cut" data:

You can only do an Undo Move once.

As long as you don't do another Cut and Paste over it, you can Undo.

Don't go looking for the file; don't do anything else! Just click on Undo Move.

Greg, it's been a blast! It's not often that I have to go looking and experimenting with things to answer a question.

Thanks for writing!

Android Easter Egg

As often happens when exploring the ADHD-friendly web, I recently discovered one thing…while looking for another. Apparently, the Easter eggs that Google is known for planting in their search engine and email can also be unearthed in some Android devices. A little digital archeology in Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) reveals the one below.

Preventing File Overwrite in MS Office

We've all done it at one time or another… you need to create a new file that's pretty much identical to another one, so you open the file that you have, make the changes and then save it.

In that very, very short time while you watch the file being saved you are struck speechless with the horrible realization that you just made a huge error!

You meant to create a new file based on the old, but you just saved the new information over the old…

Darn, darn, darn.

Now what?

Brought to You in Beautiful Black and White Part 1 - Portraits

Black and white photography has become a "thing" – meaning that everyone likes it, everyone wants it and, sadly, everyone thinks that they can do it well. But not everyone can. Black and white photography, just like every other art form, has rules and characteristics that separate the artistic from the thing that anyone with a camera and Photoshop can do.

COMPOSE YOUR PORTRAIT

Note the sharp contrasts here between Veronica's pale skin and white hair against the black backdrop and her black blouse.

Amanda's Coolsite

DIY Home Sweet Home

This has been the summer of great Do It Yourself (DIY) sites! I can't believe I found another one.

While this site is set up blog style, I much prefer to use the menu at the top of the page to narrow down the entries I'm looking at. The categories are: Crafts & Tutorials, Organizing & Cleaning, Recycling & Re-purposing, Kids, Food Fun, and Holidays. This lets me hone right in on the kind of information I'm looking for. I've spent most of my time in the Organizing & Cleaning, Recylcing & Re-purposing sections as I'm trying to organize, de-clutter, and get my living room ready for a paint job.

But if you want to navigate through everything, just scroll down the page and use the Newer Posts and Older Posts links to navigate back and forth through the material.

If you're going on any road trip with your kids this summer you have got to check out the 16+ Hour Road Trip with a Toddler and a Preschooler article. The author came up with so many innovative ways to keep her kids busy in the car that are easily adaptable for kids in a wider age range, and prevents you from having to say "Don't make me turn this car around!" because the kids will be entertained the whole time.

This is an awesome DIY site that I hope you'll love exploring for great tips and tricks to make your life easier, more organized, and fun!

Get to Know Your Body!

The human body is fascinating! From the bones that allow us to walk upright to the organs that digest our food, there's a TON going on!

You can learn EVERYTHING you've ever wanted to know about the Human Body in one amazing, EXTENSIVE program - you've gotta check this out!

3D Atlas - Stunning Animations and Simple Understanding!

This program alone is worth the cost of admission! Seriously, everything you've ever wanted to know about the body is displayed for you with clear, concise graphics and in-depth (yet simple) descriptions.

As you can see from this particular graphic, this is super easy to use. You're presented with a clickable skeleton. Click on any region of the body for a detailed picture. You'll notice underneath the picture it tells you what each part of said organ is, and from there you can click on it and then open it up in the Medical Dictionary (which we'll learn more about below!).

The side menu here allows you to focus on specific areas and regions. Click on any of the side menu buttons for a different aspect. For example, the first option is a Locomotor System that tells you each and every bone you click on. The next option is the muscular system, then digestive, urinary, sensory, endocrine, lymphatic, nervous system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system and the reproductive system.

Each menu option brings up a different clickable, interactive graphic that will allow you to hone in on any area you so choose, and learn everything there is to know about it!

This is perfect for your reference, and it takes you to any region of the body you're interested in learning about.

This is EXTENSIVE: both the anatomy and physiology sections contain menus with each and every aspect of the body. Click on whatever area you're interested in (from a HUGE list), and that opens up another menu that directly focuses on each individual part. Click on one of them for the full description of what they are, where they are, and the purpose they serve in your body!

Complete with 3D graphics, models, and simple-to-understand explanations, you'll become an expert in both Anatomy and Physiology in no time! No 3D glasses are required! Click on the guided tours and you'll be walked through each section of the body you're interested in learning more about! This is also complete with illustrations and full of informative descriptions!

Use the EXCELLENT Menu for ease of navigation! You can look at things in X-Ray viewer, a 3D Anatomical Atlas, you can create bookmarks and notes, search, even print off illustrations and descriptions!

Medical Dictionary - Extensive, Informative, Simple!

The body is a complicated and beautiful thing. It may seem intimidating trying to learn about what makes us...well, us - but you can learn it at your own pace with excellent descriptions that ANYONE can understand!

The Medical Dictionary is SO COOL! Here, you're taken to a massive, extensive database that contains everything you could ever want to know about the body. Type literally anything in the body into the search, and you'll be flooded with information! From a basic general description to each little part that makes up an organ, you'll learn what it does, where it's at and what makes it up. Obviously, this is complete with colorful, helpful graphics that provide an in-depth overview of specific areas and what they do in your body.

Here, we're looking at the lungs. As you can see, you get a general description along with a clickable graphic. Each separate part of the lung is pointed out, as you can see, and you can learn about each part individually if you so choose. Bottom line - the Medical Dictionary will help you learn about anything you want, and you'll be able to understand it because it was written for people like us!

Extensive Program - Endless Knowledge - Outstanding Price!

If you want to learn EVERYTHING there is to know about the human body, you can get this program or you can take a college class. Which do you think is cheaper? For today and today only, the entire Human Body 3D package can be yours for just $14.97 with FREE US SHIPPING!

Prairie Dog Smooch

Ahh, aren't they cute? We found these two prairie dogs on a hillside in Custer State Park, SD on warm June morning. They were having a great time playing, eating, and in this case, checking each other out.
I knew when I went on this trip that I wanted to get some kind of shot like this. I had actually been trying for... (more)

Coyote Gaze

We spotted this cool coyote one evening in Yellowstone, and since coyotes just happen to be about my favorite animal of all time, well, I had to grab the camera and see about getting a photo.

Now, the tricky part here was the light – we were running out of it – and FAST! I quickly set up the camera and put glass on this guy – but he was blocked by all kinds of brush – arrgh! However, I knew that if I... (more)

Corkscrew Falls

OK, first off, no clue if that's what the actual name of this falls is. In fact, I think it's an unnamed falls, so we're going with Corkscrew. Sound good? Cool At any rate, I had heard about this falls when doing a little Hocking Hills internet research. Getting to it involves pulling off to the side of a little highway, jumping... (more)
