Rocket Yard has been doing a series of articles designed to help deal with the issues many of us are facing as we work from home during the COVID-19 shelter-in-place order. But just because you are stuck at home doesn't mean that you have to be stuck at your desk or kitchen table. You probably have a laptop, so try mixing things up a bit, and be mobile at home as you work from home! An occasional change of environment can help break the monotony, keep your spirits up a bit, and even force you to get a few steps in since you won't be hitting the gym any time soon. To help you get moving while you stay in place, we have put together several things to consider and a few resources to keep your laptop in tip-top shape.
Many consider April 22, 1970, to be the day that the modern environmental movement was born – it is the birthday of Earth Day. This year is the 50th anniversary, so we at Rocket Yard decided to expand our scope...

The latest addition to Serif's Affinity suite, Publisher, is designed to provide a professional layout environment similar to InDesign or Quark Xpress. Released in June 2019, in some respects, Publisher doesn't yet have the feature depth of its competitors. However, in others, it surpasses them.

Today is also the birthday of one of my favorite people in the world, someone I am honored to call a friend — singer-songwriter, recording artist, composer, teacher, and author, David Barrett.
