Widgets broken with Now Reading

I was really struggling trying to figure out why all of a sudden the widget configuration stopped working. After doing some digging around, I found this post on the Wordpress Forums, and that's all I needed. It was the Now Reading plugin. Disabled it and now I can configure the widgets. Hmm, I wonder if there is an update.

Removing sharpie ink from white board

I inherited a dry erase board (white board) that someone had used permanent marker on. I really didn't want to spend money on a new board and it was the right size. It has sat leaning on my office wall for the past few weeks. I keep meaning to try and figure out a way to remove the marker. But I guess I'm too lazy. But today, I quickly put "remove permanent market white board" in google.com and the first entry, Mom's Budget, gave me the answer.

I thought, there is no way putting dry marker over the permanent marker would remove the ink. But low and behold It worked. It's not perfect and there is some residual that I suppose will never come off. But when I clean it with the special white board cleaning solution, I hope it will be almost good as new. So thanks Mom's Budget for helping me out today.
