If you’re someone who uses a computer, you should be leveraging keyboard shortcuts, full stop. Most people know the basic ones, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, and Alt+Tab, but these just scratch the surface of the tricks that can make your computer life easier. Instead of just Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V’ing a list of the available keyboard shortcuts in Windows, here are my top five shortcuts. I use these hourly.
I fell down a rabbit hole when I pondered what the most common emojis are.
Let’s back up. I’ve started to use the . + Windows Key combo to find emojis more often than I used to. You know, for Teams Chats and cute lil’ emails. For me, this says a lot. I’m from the long-ago-time when < 3 represented a heart. And it was cooler to type less-than-three than to insert a ❤. So my uptick in emoji use MUST mean that other people are adapting, too!

Dear Airpods,
You have squirmed your way into my life. I use you every day and always know where you are. I make sure you’re fully charged and ready to take on the world with me. You are my partner during my morning walks through the streets of society. Airpods on; World off.
When my kid was born, she quickly amassed an impressive collection of the most adorable little toys. An incredibly soft, stuffed mouse, a set of colorful, plastic stacking rings, TWO silicone avocado teethers, Sophie the giraffe, and many others. “How lucky we are!” we thought to ourselves, as the people in our lives so generously gifted our baby with such pleasures. This went on for a few months, and we added to the collection ourselves. But at some point (I cannot pinpoint exactly when), it became apparent that children’s toys begin as lovely, benign little trinkets and then suddenly become the most irritating torture devices you’ve ever endured. If you are a parent, you may slowly close your eyes, sigh, and lower your chin toward the ground. You get it.
If you are not a parent, I have made a little chart proving my theory. I’ve chosen two toys from each age group to include in the dataset and listed them below with their assigned Annoyance Quotient (AQ). The average of both toys represents that age bracket in the graph. Feel bad for me; several of these reside in my home.
The internet is a vast and endlessly fascinating place, with an overwhelming amount of information available at our fingertips. And there are so many websites! Here are some useful ones you should know about.
