Screencastify, the popular screen recording extension, has a new look and some changes.

TwistedWave is a browser-based audio editor. You only need a web browser to access it, and you can use it to record or edit any audio file.  It is free to use and allows a person to record up to 5 minutes.

Happy Friday Ya'll! Enjoy your weekend!
