Online Books & Upton Sinclair

A friend of mine on Facebook called my attention to a site called "Read Print" that contains over 8000 free books that you can enjoy in full. I browsed the various categories in the site's library and came across a book by Upton Sinclair that I found of interest. It is titled "The Profits of Religion" and expresses Mr. Sinclair's views of organized religion and the effect that money has upon it. Take a dive into Read Print and see if there is anything you might like to absorb. - One side note. Since the information was digital text, I had my Apple computer read it to me.

Drudge Report Archives

For those of you who follow the Drudge Report, there is a site that takes a "snapshot" of the Drudge Report every 2 minutes. It's useful when you want to go back and find a story the Matt Drudge linked to. Or to follow trends.

Evernote - A Convenient On-Line Place For Your Notes

Evernote is one of the net little utility websites where you can store and access your personal notes. Kind of like a small virtual file cabinet, you can upload and organize various kinds of data that can be reviewed later from anywhere. You can also tell friends where selected pieces of your information are. It's quite handy. Give it a look!

Google Voice: A Phone Number That You Control

My friend Mike turned me on to a potentially handy service. Google Voice. Another one of the reat services Google provides. With Google Voice, you pick a telephone number from their list of available choices and it becomes assigned to you. Now the great part is that you can assign that number to be directed to any other phone in the world, at any time. So if you switch cell phones or providers, no problem. And if you want your phone number to ring grandma's phone temporarily, that's easy, too. There are also a number of other convenient features associated with this FREE digital service.

To get on board, you have to make an application and later be invited to join. This can take a little while. Both Mike and I discovered that it helps if you have a G-mail account.
