McDonald’s has a corporate podcast

I was shocked to see that McDonald’s has a corporate podcast.  Unsurprisingly, the series is called: “The McDonald’s You Don’t Know.”

The scintillating topics include such favorites as:

- Less Is More: Sustainable Packaging at McDonald’s
- JPMorgan Conference Webcast
- Well Seasoned: In the Ktichen with Chef Dan Coudreaut (Yes, they have a typo)

I’m McLovin it!

How to properly set the “Normal” template in Office 2008

To properly set up the “Normal” template in Microsoft Office 2008 Mac, you must first know where it is.  The location has changed!

The new 2008 office location is:

~/Library/Application\ Support/Microsoft/Office/User\ Templates/Normal.dotm

And the template must be saved as a “Word Macro-Enabled Template” (.dotm).

Hope this helps!
