SHAZAM!

Heroes (TV series) - [Wikipedia]: I'm only three episodes in; this may be my new favoritest show.

No, seriously, what the hell is with the sudden resurgence in TINYURL addies popping up all over?

SCHWA! (ə) - Man, I've got a soft spot for any letter which is both phonetically clear and consistent, and which sports a name which can be used as a sound effect.

Visio sucks, too

Keyboard shortcuts - Visio - Microsoft Office Online:

ESC - Clear selection of or focus on a shape.

F2 - Toggle between text edit and shape selection mode on a selected shape.

HOLY CRAP, how can they use "ESC" as the only key which means "I'm done inputting text in this form"? ESC means "NO, WAIT, ABANDON SHIP!"

Edit: What's more, unlike everything else in the MS Office suite, it doesn't create application instances across the task bar; only the one active document shows up, so you have to switch focus by going to whatever the current Visio document is, then Window menu > 1, 2, etc., or (ew!) "cascade" view within the single App window, which requires its own Shape Palette for EACH INSTANCE. Yeah, I know Visio's a separate product from Office, but it shares SO MUCH with Office structure, it's strange that these fundamental UI choices are so far off!

Edit: I mean, Visio even puts its "Headers and Footers" in the same, ridiculous "View" menu which Excel and Word also use. That's an option that should be under a "Format" menu or even "Page Setup" -- "View" is how you LOOK AT the document, not how you EDIT what's in it.

OK, I wasn't going to do this, but...

It's my BIRTHDAY, right?!
Send me presents of music and video, of photos and text. If it's something you made, all the better. I DEMAND TRIBUTE AS YOUR ELDER.

Er, and and if I'm not your elder, indulge me anyway. I'm fragile at this age.
