Get Drop Box!

Do you ever wish you had an easier way to keep a backup of your important files? I mean so easy you don't even know you are backing up the files. Check out GetDropBox . Drop Box is a small program you install on each of your computers. Once you have installed it on the computers and signed up with the company, you are ready to go. You will have a folder that you can keep your important files in. When you drag anything into these folders, or work on a doc in the drop box folder, it automatically saves a copy to all of your computers. It is that simple. You can also access your files on their site if you are on someone else's computer. GetDropBox is free to use, if 2 gigs of space is enough for you. If it is not, they offer a pay service. Check it out, I think you will be glad you did.

Educational "YouTube"

Did you know there is another type of YouTube? An online video service that is educational. Well, there is. Visit TeacherTube. TeacherTube is full of educational videos that are great to use in class or at home. Videos often make things easier to understand, so give it a shot. You just might find some great videos to go along with your lessons or homework.

iCal

Wow, it is football time and I am ready. As most everyone knows I am a huge Alabama fan, so I would love to know when all of the games are played. I did a quick little search and found http://www.icalshare.com . On this site you can search for any calendar you can imagine and then subscribe to it. The calendar will then automatically sync with your iCal application. So, with a quick search for the 2008 Alabama Football Schedule, I now know when all the games are and they are automatically updated in iCal, which I use everyday. Have fun!
