Q&A: Is it possible to let one specific person call me even when my iPhone is set to ‘Do Not Disturb’?
Question from Janelle S.: I know there probably isn’t a way to do what I’m asking, but I thought I’d ask anyway.
I have to keep my phone silenced when I’m in class, but my dad is very seriously ill and I need to be able to get messages from my mom in case something happens with him.
I really need for my phone to ring if she calls so I can leave the room and call her back. Is there any way that I can let my mom call me even when I have my iPhone set to “Do Not Disturb”?

How to see a list of the people who ‘Follow’ you on Facebook
A while back I wrote a post discussing the extremely irritating “Why are all these strangers following me?” hoax on Facebook.
In a nutshell, that hoax tells you to type the words “following me” into the Facebook search box to see a list of all the people who are following you.

The goal of the hoaxers is to cause unsuspecting victims to waste a bunch of their time blocking users they have absolutely no connection with on Facebook in the first place.
Since I wrote the post exposing that hoax several people have written in asking if there’s a way to view a list of all the people who truly are following them.
Well, the answer is yes, and it’s very easy to do. [Read more…]
Q&A: Where can I download a copy of Microsoft Word for free?
Question from Danita.: I bought a used laptop from a friend a while back and it had a copy of Microsoft Word on it that he had downloaded from a website that offers programs for free.
The hard drive stopped working a few days ago and I had to have it replaced.
Can you give me the link to the page where I can download MS Word for free? The link my friend gave me doesn’t work and he’s stopped answering my messages.
Thanks for your help.

From photographer Don Burkett: Wisconsin’s beautiful Wind Point Lighthouse is one of the few lighthouses still in active use on the Great Lakes. It looks out over the northern edge of Racine Harbor. I hope you like this photo.
