Today a tech friend, who is very smart, asked me “How do you get the signature to insert at the top of a reply instead of the bottom?”. I’m like “easy peasy, this is a no brainer”. I brushed the cobwebs off my Entourage 2008 and launched it. Opened up the preferences and then scratched my head. Huh? It used to be a little check box thingy right here… where is it? So after some switch flipping and emailing myself back and forth I found it. Why it isn’t labeled better, well, only Microsoft can answer that question.

I’ve gone back and forth on if this is an appropriate place for this. Afterall, it doesn’t have an Apple logo on it, right? I finally figured there were probably more than just a few people out there that were like me. You have kids and tech and you need it to all get along. I’m on my third baby monitor. The first two were gone within 6 weeks. Luckily one of the those two I was able to take back and tell them I just wasn’t pleased for a full refund.
Problem:: We have two WIFI networks with a total of 5 basestations in our house. Yep. You heard me right, 5.

With this tip I have settled down and can know at a glance if it has been saved or not. Interested?

I Twittered about this earlier but I think it’s one of those tips that is handy. I actually stumbled across it in the comments in a Geeksugar.com blog. if you click the top button and the home button at the same time it will take a screenshot and save it to your photos. When you spend as much time on your iPhone as I do it will eventually come in handy. Do you have any good iPhone tips? Please share in the comments!
One thing I don’t totally understand is how the SMS interface on the iPhone looks so much like iChat yet they don’t give you smileys. Take matters into your own hands with the $1.99 app called iEmoji (iTunes Link). Basically it installs an international keyboard preference onto your phone.

I’ll admit it, I am late to Twitter. I signed up a year ago and didn’t know what to do with it. It felt weird and truthfully I just didn’t think I was interesting enough to participate (I’m probably not but I can pretend, can’t I?). So here I am a year later with two Twitter accounts, one business and one for personal. First off, I’m having a hard time managing two accounts. Occasionally I tweet the wrong thing from the wrong account then I get followers where they (probably) don’t want to be.
