Here are some amazingly good steals, and best of all FREE SHIPPING!
Here is the the world’s smallest and cheapest USB drive:
One more – I couldn’t help myself:

I wasted way too much time on this site, so I figured I’d share it:
Here is one to give you the idea:
In seeking to sync contacts from gmail to my phone, I came accross this post in a forum:
“…. if we all pool together and tell Google we want the Contacts API
released sooner rather than later. For this to happen, if we all go
to the following link:
http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/list?can=2&q=&sort=-star…and “star” the Contacts API (id 25) we will make sure this feature
gets top priority from Google and thusly allow Spanning Sync’s team to
work on a much awaited Address Book to Google Contacts sync.Imagine if all paying uers of Spanning Sync were to star this
feature…. we would get it really fast hopefully.”
If this post is correct, then that means my vote for certain functions in Google matters – furthermore it lets some people suggest new features.
This, my friends, is the power I’ve been looking for.
Here is a link to an updated “issues” list if you’re interested:
http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/list
Most of these features are pretty complex as they are for people who write code (I think). So I wonder if there is a site like this for us lay people???
And then I found it:Suggest a feature
I’m not one to really search for new blogposts or organize them with a blog reader. But there are a few that I like to read from time to time. So what do I do?
- In gmail account click on SETTINGS then WEBCLIPS.
- Remove all the clips you don’t care for
- Add the blogs/other web stuff you want
Done. Now when you’re in your inbox, you’ll see the webclips at the top of your inbox.

In order to appreciate this post, you probably have to:
A) Own a Mac
B) Own Accordance Bible Software
C) Need to learn a load of vocab in Hebrew or Greek every week
D) Attend a seminary (like Westminster Seminary in CA) where they actually force you to learn Hebrew and Greek.
First, download Flashcord from Joe Weaks: You can find FlashCord here.
I got that from this forum on Accordance Bible
Below there are links that will take you to screencasts that show you how to do these basic functions:
This first one is the most useful function (to me). It takes a passage that you’ve defined (i.e. – Friday’s quiz on 2 Sam 7:1-17), and it gives you a list of all the words in the passage in order of how many times they appear in that passage. Then when you export it, you can cut out some of the easier ones and just review the words you need to review:
1. Frequency in TEXT: Extracting vocab from Accordance for quiz using frequency of use in specified passage (my recommendation)
Extracting vocab from Accordance according to overall frequency of use in Hebrew:
(Note: The Hosea import is for #2 above; The 2 Sam import is for #1 above.)
Hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions.
If you have trouble using Google, here is the site for you:
(hint: Search for something and then click on the “go” button that appears under the link.)
And here is some weirdness:
And here are some facts and figures about Valentine’s Day for your Valentine’s Day reading pleasure:
- The lovers’ holiday traces its roots to raucous annual Roman festivals where men stripped naked, grabbed goat- or dog-skin whips, and spanked young maidens in hopes of increasing their fertility.
- In the Middle Ages, there was a belief that the first unmarried person of the opposite sex you met on the morning of St. Valentine’s Day would become your spouse.
- Hallmark began selling cards in 1913. Since then the market for Valentine’s Day cards has increased beyond lovers to include parents, children, siblings, and friends.
- Americans will spend about $14.7 billion in retail sales on Valentine’s Day in the United States.
- The average U.S. consumer is expected to spend $103 on Valentine’s Day gifts, meals, and entertainment, down from $123 per person in 2008. (from seattlepi)
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. If they do things right they’ll be able to pull the Skype community off that sometime terrible software, and give us something stable to communicate with. Let me know how you guys like it….
Click here for a quick summary of how to work it:
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.
