Choose the Right Web Host for You
2008-01-24 00:20:00 Finding out which provider is better for what you want can be hard until you’ve done some research. That can be very time consuming, right?

Write or Draw on Your Desktop Using Your Cursor
2008-01-22 13:13:00 I was just thinking how great it could be, instead of having a Vista note gadget on my desktop, if I could just write on the desktop with the cursor. I had never heard of any application that allowed this, so I tried searching in Google and came across two of them. They aren’t exactly ... More About: Software , Desktop , Write , Cursor , Draw
Minimize Pownce to the Tray
2008-01-21 13:21:00 I don’t know if anyone else is annoyed by always open applications sitting in the taskbar, but I like using the system tray. I don’t like filling up the taskbar with applications that I don’t always use, but like to keep open. Pownce is one of those applications that just sits open with nowhere to go. ...

Four Free Useful Tools
2008-01-16 17:26:00 MailStore This first one is probably the most useful of the four. I found out about MailStore over at Make UseOf.

The No Fix, No Pay Tech Support
2008-01-14 17:35:00 The only tech support I’ve received is through my children’s father.

Some people aren’t able to get free ... More About: General , Vista , Tech , Support , Tech Support
Create Your Own Wallpaper
2008-01-14 13:12:00 I just read about Paper Maker over at Lifehacker. It is really cool, but I think it needs more choices and the ability to import your own backgrounds. I would also like to be able to see and download what others have created. Although, there is a gallery, but only very little are displayed. PaperMaker lets you ...

Portable DVD Players on Wize
2008-01-11 22:38:00 In my opinion, a portable DVD player is one of those products you need to do research on before actually making a final purchase. They can be cheap or they can be expensive.

Bid and Donate to Charity
2008-01-04 22:17:00 I don’t know about anyone else, but it’s fun bidding on auctions. Usually you get the item for cheaper than you would at a store.

Judge a Post By the Images

Desktop Applications or Web Applications?
2007-11-11 21:45:00 This past month I have been trying to use more web applications, because it’s convenient when I’m switching between computers. I have my desktop computer and my laptop.
