I have a new favorite keyboard shortcut. I read about it recently at lifehacker.com and didn’t think that much about it, but I have grown to love it. All you have to do is hold down shift and press F5 at the top of your keyboard. Word will be taken straight to your most recent edit in the page. This is really useful for picking up from where you left off when you open a file or quickly jumping back to where you were if you’ve been scrolling around the document.

Simplifying Communication
I’ve been considering applying a new rule to every lesson or message I give in the future: the text message rule. My theory is that anything that is worth saying should be able to be summarized short enough to fit in a single text message (144 characters, including spaces). One reason I’ve come up with this theory is that I think text messaging has become so popular partly because it has to be short and to the point, which people like and makes things easier to remember. I’m not saying that we should only communicate in text messages, since my blog posts would have to be much shorter in general, but we should be able to know our material well enough that we could send the main concept in a text message.
Here’s an attempt at summarizing the above applying the txt msg rule:
Everything a person wants to communicate should be able to be summarized in 144 characters or less.
(99 characters)
