Do you use Windows Explorer to view files and folder on your hard drive? I suspect that most of you do a lot and the rest of you have at least occasionally need to see a listing of files on your hard drive. One annoyance that Explorer has is that it does not show the size of each folder. I usually want to know how much space each folder is using so like a good geek I found a small little program that does this. Just download and install this program called foldersize and the next time you use Explorer you will see the size of each folder. Sorry Vista users, the version Vista is not ready yet.

If you forgot just search my blog and you will find the issue that give instruction on display HD videos. Next if you are sending a link to a YouTube video and you want to make sure the High Quality version is viewed instead of the poor standard version, add ‘&hd=1’ to the end of the link and it will link to the high quality version.

Ok here it is, so go and fix something, build something, make something, or just read some great articles.

Does this sound like you? Does leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn’t even have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it?
