170 Spoons

eNewsletter six - Clocks, Wet Cellphones, and DVRs

If you are thinking, “Hey, I didn’t get the 170spoons.com eNewsletter last week. What happened?”

To you I say, “Oops. Sorry.”

My plan is to be able to send these eNewsletters on the weekends, hopefully every week. But sometimes I won’t be able to do it weekly. This week I’m making up for it highlighting four spoons since the last eNewsletter.

Know Your Time - And Theirs Too
It is important to know what time it is not just where you live but where others live if you are wanting to communicate with them. So I shared with you several options for having clocks on your computer and how to find out what time it is in other time zones.

How to Dry a Wet Cellphone or iPod
I hope you’ll never be in the situation where your iPod, cellphone, or any other electronic gets wet. However, it is always possible that you might get it wet or even soaked! Don’t fret. You have a fighting chance to save it if you follow a few rules for drying it out.

Extract an Image from PDF
Simple solution for a more common situation than expected - you need an image in a PDF document. So how do you get it out? I’ll show you.

Use a DVR to Watch TV on Your Time
Okay, this one was a bit of an indulgence for me but it is a technological spoon to make your entertainment more efficient!
