Add the Weather to Google Calendar

I had seen this weather feature a few times in the settings section of Google Calendar, but I had never bothered enabling it, until today, and I wish I had done it earlier, it works great.

It gives you 4 days of weather for whatever city you specify (most likely your home town, but you can set it for anywhere you wish). The widget places a small weather icon on your calendar for the next 4 days and if you hover over the icon it gives you  more detailed weather information. If you click on the icon it gives you an even more detailed weather outlook. In a nut shell I like it....

Here is how you enable it for your Google Calendar.

1.) Click on the Google Calendar Setting button.

 


2.) Scroll down to the "Show weather based on my location" section and select "C" or "F" depending on what type of temperature system you use. Make sure you enter your location in the "location" section above the "Weather" section.

 


3.) Click the "Save" button located at the bottom of the Settings page and your done. Your calendar will now display the weather.

Merge Multiple PowerPoint Presentations into one File

Below are the steps that I use to merge multiple PowerPoint presentations into one single presentation. Their are a few different ways to accomplish this task, but the steps listed below are the ones that have worked well for me in the past. Here are the steps... 1) First open up all the PowerPoint presentations that you want to merge into one show. After you have opened all your presentations you can either choose to create a new PowerPoint file or merge them into an existing file. 2) Open up any of your other presentations and select the "View" tab and select the "slide sorter" view. 3) Once in slide sorter, select the slides you wish to copy or press "Ctrl+A" to select all the slides. 4) Open the merged PowerPoint file. 5) Select where you want the new slides to go and press "Ctrl-V" to paste in the new slides. The copied slides will now be pasted into your new merged presentation, but if the slides have different templates
