No Gmail Signature Formatting?

Come on, what's the deal? I can't even create a simple table to lay out some info? Anyone know of a solution? I know lifehacker had better gmail html signature, but that was before the new gmail. Anything now?

Missing Windows Vista Snipping Tool?

I know that Windows Vista comes with a handy dandy snipping tool, but, when I click the "orb" and start typing snipping, I get nothing.

Turns out, that the snipping tool is part of the tablet PC options, that I, uh, uninstalled because I do not have a tablet PC. I am crazy, I know.

Anyway, just thought that I would save some people the same headache I had.

To reinstall:
  • Click the "orb"
  • Control Panel
  • Programs
  • Turn Windows features on or off
  • Look for the tablet PC options check mark box, check it
  • Wait
Now, click the orb, type snipping, press enter, and up it comes!

Note: I read that the snipping tool is unavailable on Windows Vista Home Basic, but cannot confirm as I use premium.

Google Image Labeler

Just found this neat time killer. Google Image Labeler.

What it is:

You get partnered with a random person, then are shown images. You label them based upon what they are. If you and your partner correlate, you score points. It shows you images for two minutes. If you don't know, you can pass. It also has some "off limit" labels, which I suppose are what other people have agreed what the image is and they want fresh labels.

I find it a great time waster and it's fun gathering points!
