How to maintain Inbox Zero and still read every email
10 Jun 2011 by Evan Wondrasek

A series of small yellow stars decorate my inbox, denoting any messages that still require my action. I’ve never really talked about my email practices with others before, so I was surprised w...

By clicking the +1 button on websites you enjoy, you give them a “vote” in Google’s search engine listings.

How to Stretch a Menu Control to the Width of a Window in WPF
26 May 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 1 Comment
If you’ve ever created a Menu in WPF, you’ve probably noticed something peculiar: A Menu will not stretch to fill the entire width of its parent container.

How to Remove the Start Button from Secondary Display Taskbars in DisplayFusion 3.3.1
24 May 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 3 Comments
If you’re like me and use multiple monitors as part of your computer setup, DisplayFusion is one of the best ways to take advantage of that extra screen space.

TweetDeck for Chrome is a Flexible, Lightweight Version of its Desktop Counterpart
19 Apr 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 7 Comments
TweetDeck Desktop is arguably one of the best desktop Twitter clients for power users. It offers endless columns of information, multiple account support, and many features that Twitter itself had to copy. This app can basically do it all, and might even be getting purchased for $50 million by Twitter. My only major complaint is that TweetDeck Desktop runs on Adobe Air, and while I have no qualms ...
