Hello!

I’ve recently signed up, and have been using, for about a week, an online backup product. If you’ve been a reader of my blog in the past, you’ll know I’ve been looking for an inexpensive online backup solution for quite some time.

I have a subscription to PC Magazine, and in the April issue, they gave their Editor’s Choice award to Mozy Backup.

I’ve been looking around for an inexpensive DVD copying program, and have finally found one!

I purchased this recently and love it! It’s very easy to use and very fast to copy!

You can get more info about it here

Or should that have been, “Of how many writing errors have you been guilty?”

HA!

I love this site:

I especially like this:

“I found a word you criticized in the dictionary!

You will find certain words or phrases criticized here listed in dictionaries. Note carefully labels like dial. (dialectical), nonstandard, and obsolete before assuming that the dictionary is endorsing them. The primary job of a dictionary is to track how people actually use language. Dictionaries differ among themselves on how much guidance to usage they provide; but the goal of a usage guide like this is substantially different: to protect you against patterns which are regarded by substantial numbers of well-educated people as nonstandard.”

At the bottom of this page is a link to an Mp3 of this guy, Tim Helmen, doing a cover of “Skin” by Bill Mallonee (and Vol). It’s actually well done.

It’s an interesting take on one of my favorite VOL songs.

Even though I can hear you say, “That’s stupid.” I still want to do this.
