Use Jott.com to help manage your time sending email

January 29th, 2008

I signed up for Jott the other day, although I first heard of the service a few months ago. It’s everything that others promised it would be, and a little more.

When it comes to saving time — whether on typing emails, writing notes, or sharing information with someone — I like to ensure my time is used most efficiently. This is where Jott comes in.

Using OneNote to organize your life at work, school, home, or anywhere

January 28th, 2008

Are you one of those people who are constantly on-the-go? Do you work in more than one location, such as in an office, remotely — whether from home, other work sites, or customer locations — and do you work with large volumes of information? If you said yes, then get your four gigabyte USB flash drive handy.

Back in the early days of personal computers — in the late 1970s and early 1980s — there was talk that computers would one day lead to paperless offices. If you read reports that come out every few years, that’s hardly the case. Even so, it doesn’t mean you need to be buried under paper copies of everything you deal with on a regular basis.

Bush tells Iraq give us full control or else

January 24th, 2008

With its international mandate in Iraq set to expire, the Bush administration will insist that the government in Baghdad give the United States broad authority to conduct combat operations and guarantee civilian
contractors immunity from Iraqi law, according to administration and military officials.

Protecting your heart, one mystery at a time

It seems over-the-counter Zocor is just as effective as removing nasty plaque build-up from arteries, at about one-third the price of by-prescription-only Vytorin, according to a recently released study.

RIAA needs to get laid

January 19th, 2008

Have you ever seen someone so badly in need of sex that you tell them to go get laid — even if they have to hump a tree like a dog in heat? Well, that’s how the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is acting right now. Either that or RIAA has been constipated for about 18 years. Either way, RIAA is becoming more sickening every time I see its name in print.

Let the hipsters worry about it

It seems some five million of our oldest, as well as disabled, citizens, have not yet signed up for their Medicare Part D drug plan. To help them, what does Congress do? Decide to not grant them an extension.

New Jersey took the forgive-us plunge

January 10th, 2008

Well, as many people expected, the politicos running the State of New Jersey took the “forgive us” plunge by making an official proclamation to apologize for its history with slavery.

Sure, New Jersey did many stupid things in its history, including standing against the Emancipation Proclamation, as well as being the last state in the United States to abolish slavery, but this apology — for something more than 143 years old — is loonier than Looney Tunes.

New Jersey politicos may start looking for 40 acres and a mule

January 6th, 2008

Reparationism is alive and well in some parts of the U.S., it seems, and in New Jersey, it seems the states current batch of politicos are getting ready to bow down to the cause célèbre that many seem to near and dear these days.

Back in 2002, if you recall, a black college student, Deadria Farmer-Paellmann, said she discovered evidence linking U.S. corporations to slave trade. As a result of her “discovery,” she filed a federal lawsuit that could potentially be worth billions of dollars in reparations for the descendants of slaves in America.
