Habits of highly productive computer users

Habits of highly productive computer users

   1. Use an RSS reader as a way to efficiently find information  of interest to you without having to navigate the web or re-visit websites.  It’s a "push" technology that comes to you rather than the hit-and-miss method of "checking-in" at websites of interest to you, or having to constantly "Goggle" for new stuff.

   2. Use Microsoft’s MSN Desktop Search.  I know there are others like Google’s Desktop Search, but the built-in "shortcut manager" built in to the MSN Desktop Search is very powerful and can improve your PC desktop experience dramatically.

   3. Use a tabbed browser.  If you are online at least a few hours a day or use Google and constantly follow result links to find just the right page, then a tabbed browser will make you more productive.

   4. Use email effectively, expecially if you are part of a mailing list, read this article to learn how: "Tips for mastering email overload"

–King James Version of the Bible

“Even as a tree has a single trunk but many branches and leaves, there is one religion–human religion–but any number of faiths.”

Online photo printing

Online photo printing

It’s time for Christmas cards.  We like sending a family photo.
Though we generally use Shutterfly, I thought I’d compare it to other services.

Snapfish is less expensive.

winkflash looks good. They have a simple low price per print with no sliding scale based on quantity. They also have inexpensive shipping charges. 

Here is one review of services that selects winkflash at #1.

Which Game Console to Buy?

Which Game Console to Buy?

My sister asked me which game console I’d recommend. She is thinking of buying one for her sons this Christmas. Her boys are 7, 5, and 2.

My initial response was (not having researched it yet):

Very generally, the XBOX may have the latest technologies and potential for expansion (turning it into a media center for your living room). The competitors have more games to play on it.

Each company tries to get “exclusive” games.

You might want to approach it by anticipating what games you would buy them and see which console they work on. Include very young kids titles, in your research.
