Whenever we take a long trip, we bring along some audio books that make the trip fly by. Here is a site that gives you that luxury for free. It can be hit or miss from what I’ve heard (they are volunteer readers), but if you’re persistent there are some solid narrators out there.
Sorry for the hiatus, finals are killer. Here is a site that lets you listen to the music you want when you want.
Thanks a lot. It would’ve been nice if Google had released this a little earlier so I could have added it to my last google post, but it probably deserves its own space anyway.

Google offers a lot of great stuff. Here are my all time favorites (many of you will already be familiar with some of these – let me know your favorites – any from the labs that I don’t know about yet?)
Goog 411 – Free 411! 1 800 GOOG 411 - Absolutely the best tool I have on the road.
Gmail – the best email service ever – I still don’t understand why people are still using hotmail or anything else for that matter.
Google Chrome – I’ve posted this before, but it is the only PC browswer that doesn’t crash constantly
Google Docs – Good for collaborative efforts
Google Alerts – Searches the internet for news about anything you ask it to (try making one for your name)
And of course Google Maps – wouldn’t leave home without them:
Hmmm seems like I use Google a little more than I thought I did.
I realize that most people may already know about this, but those who don’t will now be able to save themselves a few dollars by downloading this free program rather than buying from the microsoft man.
Open office is pretty similar to Word, Excel, Powerpoint and lets you open documents that have been saved in those programs.
If you want to have a slick toolbar displaying the stats of your temp, internet upload/download, or diskspace – this is a great free resource. Click here for some screenshots:
Dr. Horton has recently pointed us to this resource on practical tools and arguments for the faith. He calls it a one-stop apologetics website. Hope it is helpful:
Want to send a late night email?
You’ll have to pass Gmail’s late-night tests first (if you enable this new feature)
New in Labs: Stop sending mail you later regret
I stumbled across this while seeking a tutorial and it ties in well with the Jing Project.
Good stuff….
