A Useful Tech Tool

I always hated needing to crop a screenshot.  Why couldn't I just select the part of my screen I wanted to take a picture of in the first place?  You may already have a tool to do this, but if not, check out Jing from TechSmith.  It's super easy to use - just click and drag to select the area you want.  You can even adjust the selection after letting go of the mouse, but before taking the picture (very helpful when your cat comes over and rubs against your arm just as you're about to let go...).  You can also use Jing to capture video of your screen.  Best of all?  It's free!
