Michael Hart, of the University of Illinois, developer of Project Gutenberg--funded this effort to put on the Web all the books in that university's libraries. For now, the collection seems to consist primarily of classics and works of dead authors, but new "etexts" are being added all the time. In time, you may never have to go to a bookstore--electronic or otherwise--again. http://www.gutenberg.net

Aphorisms Galore! encourages you to "feed your wit." The site is more than just an index of witty sayings by famous people. It's also quite readable on its own, with especially interesting quotations posted on its home page. You can enter words in the Search box or browse by author or category (Love & Hate, for example). The site also offers customization features that allow you to place quotations from favorite categories or authors at your fingertips. http://www.aphorismsgalore.com

Faxing. All faxes get sent to your email address (yes, technology is wonderful), and you get them within 1 minute. If you want to make use of this service (it is Free, you just have to be connected to the Internet), go to http://www.efax.com.

When I was a reporter, I used to get story ideas by the tons ... usually someone would call me on the phone and ask me to do a story about someone or thing, or a press release would spark an idea for me .... But I had so many of them, I couldn't keep up.
So my system at the time was to put each story idea on a sticky note and put it on my noteboard.
Soooo... there's this really neat and cool shareware program (well, okay they want you to be a member for 19.95, but there is plenty of stuff to d/l for free) called Corkboard that has sticky notes, calendars, to do lists, graphics, lets you put pictures of your family in neat little frames ... and acts like a screensaver on your computer.
No .. this isn't spam ... or a sign-up deal ... I just love this little program and thought some of the other momwriters might like it too .... it's at www.mycorkboard.com if you want to try it out.

Are you aware of/have you been using the U.S. PO's new "delivery confirmation" service? It's this fairly new thing the post office has. You pay an extra 35 cents on first class or Priority Mail (I think it's 60 cents on other, cheaper classifications) and you get a confirmation receipt number. Later, you can call an 800 number or, like I do, go to the post office web site (www.usps.com) and type in the number to see if/when your stuff was delivered. You can even click on a "what happened earlier" icon and you'll get a whole time line of where your mail/package was sent, what time, where it went next, what time, right up to the delivery time at its destination.

Does anyone have the address for the site where I can download journaling programs??? GO to www.download.com and type in 'journal' inn the search engine .. there are several good programs there ...

Download a Prayer Journal from www.download.com ... its a really great program

The Marketing Resource, at http://www.marketingresource.com offers a quote every day (such as "Do not use a hatchet to remove a fly from your friend's forehead"), which, if not entirely applicable to the business of marketing, can make you the star of the status meeting. Of course, the site offers plenty of informative articles, too--just in case you're one of the few substance-over-style types in the business.

There are several sites on the web that have reduced air fares every now and again...
