Be a Podguide!

I have writtien before about audio tour podcasts, where anyone can make a audio tour of anywhere and distribute it as a podcast to anyone with an iPod. I would like to call on anyone with something interesting to say to create podguides about their favorite places. Whether it is a museum exhibit or the local downtown or ever a nearby mall, take a walk through it with your tape recorder and let everyone know why it is worth visiting. Though this would help any person see what you see, it would greatly help the visually impaired, like myself, see what we cannot see alone.

Lend us your eyes!

Formatting multiple equations in Word

Have you ever tried to change the font in a MS Word document full of equations? It does not work. Well, it works for the text, but not for the equations. To adjust the equations, you have to open each one individually, which is a complete waste of a lot of time.

I bumped into this problem over the past week. Luckily, I found a solution. MathType, the big sibling of MS Word's Equation Editor, does the job. , however, does require a financial outlay unless you are satisfied with the 30-day trial.

Happy equation editing!
