Chrome Series
As a result of the recent Google Summit, I've been filled with tons of Google related tips, tricks, and quips. I'm going to be sharing 2 weekly in the Tips & Tricks section of this newsletter. Many of these will be related to the Chrome browser. If I've been in to see you in the last 2 years, you know that I recommend that you use Chrome as well. I hope that these tips will show you why the Chrome browser is superior to Internet Explorer or Firefox. If you're not sure why or want help, feel free to schedule a session with me. You can do so by shooting me an email or clicking HERE.

Tips, Tricks, and Quips
Today's Digital Citizen
Google has designed its own digital citizen course. This week take a moment and see if you can use this first lesson in becoming an online sleuth. This class will answer the question Why is important to be alert and check sources while exploring online. Check it out HERE
Turn Off The Lights!
Hate the suggested videos and ads on YouTube? See the purple edges on this picture? It's thanks to Turn Off the Lights. Check out the Chrome extension to hide all of the extra stuff on the page. (You can also add fun thing like bubble or raindrops.) If you're not yet a Chrome user, I highly suggest you give it a try because it will save you time in the long run in your productivity. Get Chrome HERE. Get the Turn Out the Lights extension HERE
Chrome Tab Tips
Ever wanted to keep a tab open in Chrome so you can't lose it when you get happy and start clicking close on all those tabs? Now you can pin open a tab by right clicking on the tab and then clicking PIN TAB. It will make your tabs smaller and place them to the left of all your other active tabs.
Sunshine in Your Inbox
You are awesome. Enjoy.
