HoHo Zoho
If you did not have access to word processing or spreadsheets these web based one's are OK - watch out Bill! I created a quick spreadsheet to help me keep up with all my social engagements. Check it out here. Oh wait. If you want to find out what I'm up to send me an email and I'll give you access to my calendar.

Mobile Library 2.0
They used to look something like this:
This little piece of junk apparently connects me to the world, but it sure ain't the type of world I'm interested in. Nothing on this crap mobile looks like it dispenses liver treats. That cute librarian always had something going on the side. That's what made it fun!

Then something like this, which some of you just might recognize:
Now there's no need for a heavy vehicle licence, but not only that: Where's the librarian? Where are the other borrowers? And where's that oh so useful oversized hubcap?

My Wiki Wiki Ways 2 (Ghost written by Anon.)
Wikipedia has become an opportunity lost.
Originally it was full of fascinating articles infused with freshness and daring, but the editors' push for recognition of their product as "authoritative" has turned Wikipedia into just another online encyclopedia.
Just try to make amendments these days. Gatekeeping stooges will eliminate your anxiously sweated over contribution within 24 hours, citing trivial and inane excuses to justify their conservatism and subservience to the orthodoxy.
Luckily for those who think outside the square (aka the pet loo), the self same wiki technology is available for all. This means I've been shafted by Wikipedia's faceless men for the last time.
Adieu Wikipedia! And watch out for the iceberg fellas!
P.S. The key is - don't take it to heart. They aren't out to crush your ideas, they're only interested in secondhand knowledge.

My Wiki Wiki Ways
I wandered willy-nilly round some wikis with my wage-earner and found a wonderland of worthwhile words. I wondered if I could work on a wee wiki of my own. Woe is me! I am not wise, it was not a walkover more like a wreck

This isn't a Boo Boo
Standing just four inches tall, Boo Boo wouldn’t be much use fetching the newspaper. But the special dog from Raceland, Kentucky now has the big title of the world’s smallest dog.
The longhaired Chihuahua was entered into The Guinness Book of World Records in September. Boo Boo snatched the title of smallest dog from a fellow American Chihuahua called Ducky who measured 4.9 inches.
Owner Lana Elswick has bred Chihuahuas for 19 years and said she always knew her one-year-old pooch was special. Boo Boo was only about the size of a thumb when she was born; so small, in fact, that she had to be fed with an eye dropper every two hours before she could eventually nurse a bottle.
I found this info on a blog by searching Technorati.
