DropBoks – Free online file storage. (Secure online storage for files.).
I spend a lot of time surfing the web and often try web applications that I find. Over the past week or so I have looked at several file storage apps. The best one that I found is DropBoks. I love the minimalist design and ease of use. If you are looking for file storage on the web you may like DropBoks.

I’m just taking it easy at home today because I was up late on Friday and Saturday ! I posted some pictures on this site and was also checking out Home – Windows Live. I use Ubuntu at home and I am much to attached to Google to replace them with anything else unless it was absolutly necessary but MSN has some nice personal web tools there on Live. Check it out you may like what you see.

More than 50 percent of Internet users who live with a spouse and at least one child go online with another person at least a few times a week, the survey found. Asked about the impact of new technologies, 47 percent said they have increased the quality of communication between family members, and the same percentage said there had been no difference. – an interesting article on cnet shows that the idea the internet encourages social isolation is not necessarily true; rather sometimes it is just the opposite.

Kiva – Loans that change lives
This is a way for ordinary people to make small loans to small business entrepreneurs in the US and in other countries. I like the concept of individuals being able to lend to other individuals, bypassing the big business financial predators.

I went to Barnes and Noble today and browsed around the books and magazines. I was reading some computer magazine and found and article about web applications. Buzzword was mentioned and I had not encountered that one before. So, when I got back home, I opened an account. It’s different from some other web apps that I have used; has a very vista like appearance, also saves to and opens from your hard drive. I don’t think you can use it to post directly to a blog; would be a nice feature to have. I am writing this on Buzzword but will cut and paste to post to my blog.

Today was a busy day, but I really did not make a lot of progress ! I went to get my blood drawn for labs, so that wasted about 2 hours. At work I did a lot of loose ends stuff but did not get a lot done otherwise. I gave some stuff to Heather to do, so that will help me some. There was lot’s of ice out today, hoping tomorrow will be nicer. Mike and Piglette came down for the weekend; they all went out shopping ! I told Sweetous and Pig to be careful in the stores ! LOL, I always get uneasy when the women go to stores. So, now I’m just taking it easy listening to music and prowling the web…
Here is a nicely organized health & medical information site: OrganizedWisdom Health – Human Powered Health Search.
Cloudo – The Computer Evolved – this looks interesting, but doesn’t seem to be working yet; appears to be some sort of web desktop and applications set-up; sort of like think free or zoho perhaps ? It’s getting to be that you really don’t need to buy software for your computer because there is so much available via the web….

Should students use Wikipedia? « Eric Jennings
Wikipedia is one of my favorite websites. Of course it should not be used as a sole source of information; use it as one source of many, or as starting point for further research. This caveat applies to the web in general; there are goldmines of good information out there and there are also all sorts of bogus or trashy sites. Always use multiple sources for information and when making an important decision: consult with other people directly by talking to them and asking questions !

In my web surfing today I did a search on Google for “virtual worlds” and while looking at some of the items listed I came across the term “web3.0″ Curious how that differs from web2.0. I shall have to investigate later. Here are some links to get started…

Be Careful when Citing Wikipedia « faithmaps blog
If you read or browse my blog, you will see that I am a big fan of the Wikipedia. You can also see from the above blog post that you must use discernment and good judgment when using the Wikipedia or any other resource, especially on the web. A good rule to follow is don’t rely on a single source of information, especially when making an important decision.

I found a new book listing site today: Revish. An strange name, I have no idea what it means. Anyway I added the site to the two other book listing sites I belong to: Library Thing and Good Reads. They are all good sites. I think Library Thing has the most information in it, and Revish seems to have the nicest layout and user interface. Anyone else out there know any other book listing sites ? What is your favorite book site ?

I had an easy day at work today, completed a couple spreadsheets and packed a couple boxes of files. This evening we went out for dinner and then to the mall: me, Sweetous, Piglette, and Mike. As old as I am and with my extensive experience with females, I should have known better than to take two women to the mall ! We spent about $170.00
yikes !I found a cool site from microsoft with nice aerial views. The thumbnail above is a screenshot of my house about a year ago; new roof is in place, trees are down, Steve’s old Behomoth is in the driveway. So go check out Live Local !

…a social bookmarking website for the Bible. Sort of like del.icio.us but I think it needs some tweaking ’cause it’s a little awkward to use. Or perhaps it’s not awkward at all and I just have to learn more about how it works. I signed up for it, so I will soon find out.

Windows Live Mail – I guess I’ll put in a good word for Microsoft. A lot of people are critical of the company, and I’m sure they have their faults, but I have been using this for the past couple weeks and I really like it. Live Mail is a huge improvement over the old hotmail and is also better than Outlook or Outlook Express. I prefer it over the new Yahoo mail too. I still like gmail, but Live Mail is tied for first place in my preferences. I like the Windows Live Favorites too.

….been nearly a week since I blogged ! I was busy this weekend and last weekend. We were in Baltimore last weekend for the Franklin Graham Festival , which was a great event ! I was especially impressed with Billy Graham being well over 80 getting up there to preach and Beverley Shea (spelling) is 97 and he sang ! That is impressive !
Today Sweetous and I took a load of junk to the dump and then moved a dresser to LB’s place. Yesterday we were out shopping. I went to Borders today and got a couple books ’cause I had a coupon. So, I figured it was a good day to get a couple books: The Corporation , and The United States of Wal-Mart . I bought Sweetous a TV for the spare bedroom. I think she wants to get a TV for every room in the house, although I’m not sure why.
I signed joined Orkut today. Orkut (by google) is a networking site sort of like My Space, but seems to have less sleaze. I am a big fan of google , they have a lot of interesting web applications. They also have Picasa which is a very nice photo software and online albums. And of course, there is gmail which is my favorite email . If anyone would like to get gmail, just let me know via a comment or email me and I will send you an invite. Then you will be able to try the other google applications.
