Pardon the late posting… it’s that old, tired “work” excuse! So after a long week, we’re looking forward to sharing online stuff with “all o’ y’all”!

Joe has the drop on an an online storage / backup site and will relate his experiences wants to hear about eveyone else’s too.  There are a number of them, so it will be interesting to see what all is out there… and learn what the latest on them is too.

Remember the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland looking at his pocket watch… always worried about running late?  An online calendar can help avoid that, especially when you couple it with a plain or smart cellular telephone.  It is also great for keeping an eye on events you might attend if you can.  When is my team playing next?   Am I free that day?  It only takes a couple of clicks!

… and yes, we’re meeting for breakfast too!

Ah yes, another new year… and we’ll start if off right – by meeting
this moth! [:">]

There is a new way to just hang (or hang out if you’re as old as I am!).
We’ll try this out together, so bring your laptop and webcam if you want
to be “test subject”!

To coin a phrase, Joe knows spyware… and is going to share with us
“The Worst Spyware I have Encountered”… sounds scary!!

Ever wish you could read an online article… without any ads or
distractions… and all on 1 page? I’ve got a Chrome extension that
does just that with 1 click!

Or would you like to make things happen when something else happens
(huh?)? Here’s an example: “When a new book is added to Kindle Top 100
Free eBooks, send me an email.”. Neat, huh?

Don’t miss it!

And the 3 C’s are: Couponing, Calendaring, Connecting!
And what do they have to do with one another? Well, not much! Other
than being our discussion topics for tomorrow.

  • Coupons have taken quite a high-tech twist… no ink involved!
  • Calendaring has come a long way, but is still evolving. There is a new kid on the block with some bright ideas.
  • Connecting is evolving too.. maybe the most of any online activity.

So I hope to C you there! (sorry, I couldn’t resist!)
