Actually I don't know anything about HTML 7. In fact I haven't even fully grasped the changes in HTML 5 yet. I was just wondering... how successful would a blog be if you wrote only about the future?
The problem with blogs currently is too much competition. For every blog topic you think of one million bloggers already wrote about, leaving your blog in the last pages of search results. In fact, I would have used "HTML 6" as this article title but there are already 1.6 million results in Google for html6, even though html 5 is the current release version.
So writing about the future there is less competition and more likely to get good search visitors. I commonly write about topics that I found have little search results but let's see how writing about the future fares. Thanks for reading and being a part of this experiment.

Apparently I have a very easy to mistype/misspeak email address and am constantly receiving misguided emails. I even wrote about this issue in the past (by the way my echild now has 10 absense and 1 tardy... tisk tisk tisk)
I was just wondering what other people do when they receive emails that weren't intended for you. Do you reply and let the person know? In the past month I received a funeral notice, a resume (to pass along), a picasa album invitiation, Budget rental confirmation, dog photos all intended for some one who has the same first initial and last name as me but different email. It's not always to the same person... sometimes it is to Todd, Terry, Teresia, or Thomas so it not only one person giving out an incorrect email address. So is it my obligation to reply to all the emails and tell the sender they have the wrong email address? Or do I let them figure out the mistake themselves? I mean I do feel a little bad that someone could miss a funeral or job offer because they got the wrong email address but can't everyone be a little more careful with who their sending this stuff too?
What are your thoughts?

If you are trying to convert a Microsoft Excel 2007 file to open with Excel 2003 you may receive an error that there are "Too Many Cell Formats". After spending quite sometime I found a fix for this. You need to open the file in the Excel 2007 and run the macro below and then resave the file. Before you do anything make sure you save your file in case you don't like the results.
The macro will show a prompt "Delete Style ____" for each style which and you will need to click "YES" for each style. If you are not concerned about deleting a valid style you can hold down the "enter key" on yes to delete all styles.
Update:
For those that do not want to deal with Macro's there is a tool you can download that I also find very helpful and easy to use. The tool removes unused cell styles, "stubborn styles" that you can't delete through Excel UI, bad named ranges, named ranges with external references, and unhides non-system created hidden named ranges. Download XLCleaner here: https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=53e1d37f76f69444&id=53E1D37F76F69444!526&sc=documents

In honor of tax season here are some quick accounting and IRS jokes:
A businessman on his deathbed called his friend and said, "Bill, I want you to promise me that when I die you will have my remains cremated."
"And what," his friend asked, "Do you want me to do with your ashes?"
The businessman said, "Just put them in an envelope and mail them to the Internal Revenue Service and write on the envelope, "Now you have everything."
"Your taxes are due a week from today. You can make out your check directly to Halliburton. Or you can do what I'm going to do. I'm filing my first joint return. No, I'm not getting married, I'm sending the IRS an actual joint with a note that says, 'If you think I'm paying for this war, you must be high.'" --Bill Maher
"It's tax time and President Bush is saving a lot on taxes this year. He's writing off his entire second term." --David Letterman
George Washington never told a lie, but then he never had to file a Form 1040.
