You're boring Sorry, someone had to say it. Your products are predictable. Your insights are recycled. You don't bring surprise with you when you enter a room. That's why people are ignoring you. Which used to be fine, because you could just buy attention for your brand or your company or your sales efforts. But that half-price sale on attention is now over. The only path left is to lean out of the edge and become interesting, noteworthy and yes, remarkable.

"Many users moving to InDesign from QuarkXPress are surprised the program doesn’t offer an H&J Styles feature. ... InDesign requires users to spec these from scratch in two separate areas, Hyphenation Settings and Justification Settings...

However, ... you should know that you can get close to replicating H&J Styles functionality via InDesign’s Paragraph Styles panel. I’m not saying it’s the best way to go, but it is an option."

Very useful trick, indeed...

One of the things I love about Adobe InDesign is that there’s usually more than one way to accomplish virtually any task. Take placing images in your document. InDesign offers a plethora of options to improve productivity in this area, thanks to keyboard shortcuts..."

One more tip: you can change the number of rows/columns in the placed image grid by hitting the arrow keys.

"Többé már senki nem „szörfözik” a világhálón – ez a tevékenység a kilencvenes években megszűnt, jelen pillanatban az internetezők több mint nyolcvan százaléka valamilyen keresőből jut el egy-egy adott oldalra."

...

"Az oldalak és információk növekedésével azonban már a keresés is kezd nehezebbé válni: míg öt-hat évvel ezelőtt egy, maximum két kulcsszó segítségével szinte bármit megtaláltunk, mára – köszönhetően a Google-t „átverő” oldalalaknak és a sok reklámnak – bizony nem árt konkrétan, sőt „trükkösen” keresni, ha valóban azt akarjuk találni, amire rákerestünk…"

"So I had this silly idea to isolate the backgrounds from famous Internet memes, removing all the subjects from every photo or video. I'm pretty happy with the results.

Like Jon Haddock's porn sans people, these photos are banal out of context. Only someone familiar with the original memes would sense something's amiss, like the set of a play waiting for the actors to stumble into history.

Can you name all 22 23? (Click any image for the answer.)"
