Document Sharing & Editing Finds a Home on the Web

Okay, who out there has never shared or e-mailed a file? Now, how many of everybody has needed to edit a document that's been shared or e-mailed to them and send it back? Let's count the steps, shall we?

1. check e-mail

2. open link to document

3. edit document

4. save document

5. e-mail document back

6. bang your head on the desk when something else needs to be edited

Now, with this cool new online file sharing site:

1. check e-mail

2. click link and enter text verification code

3. edit and share to your heart's content with a cool patent-pending widget (those cute little bubbly things you see everywhere that do awesome new things)

Wow! You just cut your steps in half! With Driveway, there's none of the editing, saving, attaching (when your connection will actually do it), e-mailing, blah, blah, blah, blah-blah, blah, blah... Just share and edit.

Easy....nice.

Military Intelligence

On some air bases the Air Force is on one side of the field and civilian aircraft use the other side of the field, with the control tower in the middle.

One day the tower received a call from an aircraft asking, "What time is it?"

The tower responded, "Who is calling?"

The aircraft replied, "What difference does it make?"

The tower replied, "It makes a lot of difference. If it is an American Airlines flight, it is 3 o'clock. If it is an Air Force plane, it is 1500 hours. If it is a Navy aircraft, it is 6 bells. If it is an Army aircraft, the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is on the 3. If it is a Marine Corps aircraft, it's Thursday afternoon."

My Favorite Season - the End

Being the cheapskate I am, I love the ends of seasons. Nothing thrills my heart more than seeing red or yellow signs trumpeting "Clearance!" My heart palpitates at online clearance - being a cheapskate in my pajamas - what could be better? Buying big, heavy stuff in brick-and-mortar stores is a pain, what with the lifting and the fitting in the car. Which is why I'm shopping for yard art for my mom at Online Discount Mart. They've got everything from the whimsical to the serene, and everything in between (sorry, couldn't help it). Now to set a budget and try to not blow it...
