Thing XIII

1. I already use iGoogle and I really like it. I have a personalized scoreboard that shows the scores of my favorite teams. There a calender and movie time thing and other widgets that are fun and useful. I used to use it for my home page, now I use a blank page so I don't have to wait for loading.

2. My favorite tool is the weather widget.

3. I'm not real sure about online calendars. I already use iCal although it would be useful to access my calendar from other computers. I went with #1 in the article, Google Calendar. I already have a Google account so I can reduce the clutter. It's pretty much the same as iCal.

4. I signed up for remember the Milk and made a list of things I want to do during spring break. I have the same list on good old fashioed paper like I always have. This is one thing I don't think I'll go digital with. If I had to put money down I'd bet this online list will never get checked off, not because I didn't do the stuff but because I didn't log onto the site ever again.

5. I did not try out Backpack, I looked over it and it looks like it could be very useful - but not to me.

6. I took a look at Zamzar. I'm pretty excited about this. I love having a Mac but it's annoying when I can't open one my PC friend's stuff. Definitely bookmarked.
