So, picture this…

I have been waiting forever (okay, a couple of months) for Bing Image Creator to show up in Canada. It’s always been teasing me with a “Not yet available in your area” on its home screen… and yes, I kept…

Pronouns in Office365

*Okay, I think they call it Microsoft365 now. Plus ça change. One of the things that Microsoft does well, and earnestly tries to do well, is accessibility. In a similar vein, they give particular effort in providing tools to support…
