I love the new ribbon interface that’s available in the Microsoft Office 2007 system. Part of the reason for that is that I wasn’t too much of an excessively experienced user of the various applications.

If you were an experienced user then you’ve probably spent time looking for one of the controls and features. Sometimes they’ve put them where you would expect them, other times you’re looking and looking until you finally find them in a toolbar that doesn’t quite make sense to most people.

Now you can see all the toolbars at once. Just click on the image below to see the full-sized version and all the toolbars at once.

Earlier I alluded to our decorating style, and the convergence of that style (such as it is) with beer. Well, Christmas around here is a very beery holiday, and one of my favorite items is the beer coaster Christmas ornament.

A few years back, my then-girlfriend (and now wife) and I found ourselves short on cash and long on beer coasters. I’d always loved beer coasters, but once I saved them I never knew quite what to do with them. In a burst of inspiration, we punched holes in them, tied ribbons at the top, stuck a hook through the whole mess and made decorations. Voilá – cheap and colorful Christmas ornaments, and our own version of the beery Christmas tree.

Not to stop there, we also put hooks on old wine bottle corks, and my wife even glued them on to beer bottle caps as well, although those were a pain in the tail to hang. The end result? A very colorful and festive tree which said a lot about us, good or bad.
