Cool Tools
These are the three things I can’t live without.
I feel like I’m a little late to this game, but I’m absolutely in love with Google Reader. It’s free, and it gathers all of the blogs I follow into one handy place that I can read no matter which computer I’m working on.
It automatically gathered the blogs I followed in Blogger, and it lets me easily add new blogs I come across
Why waste my time flipping through a paper dictionary when I can go online and search for correct spellings and synonyms and antonyms?
3. Text messaging
Inspiration strikes in strange places. Usually when I am nowhere near my computer. When I’m in the grocery store or walking down the street or (don’t tell the policeman) driving, I can capture it in a quick text message and send it to my personal email account. That way, the idea is there next time I turn on the computer.
I have a texting plan on my phone, so I’m not charged for each message. If you are charged per text, you can save each text as a draft, then set a reminder on your phone to check your drafts folder when you are back at your computer.
What are your favorite tools, technological or not?
