SkyDrive!


Several years ago I ditched Hotmail and never looked back. For every one message that I had, there were 250 spam messages. It was ridiculous.

Now, don't get me wrong. I love Gmail. I have no desire to ever leave Gmail. If you know anything about me in the real world, you know I love all things Google. Most things that they do, they do really well. Plus, I really like their style.

But, Hotmail has done some re-vamping of their stuff. I guess that, if I am going to get technical, I should call it Windows Live Hotmail, instead of just Hotmail. Not that it really matters to this post...

Anyway, I found a little something, that I am sure everybody already knows about, but I had no idea. It is called SkyDrive. Right now it has 25Gb of storage. I am sure that Google will have something to battle this in the near future, but right now, that is exactly what I need.

    To make it easier, you can also use Gladinet to map SkyDrive into Windows so it appears as a virtual folder so you can drag and drop files into SkyDrive.

    Thanks! I didn't know about it! I'll take a look at Gladinet, too!

The Seed and The Soil of Education (New Learning Project Part 1)

(This is my entry for the first part of my project for my New Learning course that I am taking.) Introduction Corn Fields in Illinois I have lived the majority of my life in the Midwest: mid-state Illinois to be specific. Where I live, farming is everywhere. My grandparents and great-grandparents on both sides of my family were farmers. My dad grew up on a farm and owned farmland, well into my own adulthood. But, even if it wasn’t in the family, I still would have been surrounded by farming. You can’t go more than a mile outside of my city’s limits without encountering miles and miles of fields. Most of our highways, and even interstates, are located between acres of farmland.

This too shall pass...

Gam zeh ya'avor (Hebrew) "This Too Shall Pass" Welcome!  According to Google Analytics, this is by far the most visited post that I have ever written.  If someone comes here from a search engine, most of the time they are looking for " this too shall pass quote " or simply " this too shall pass " on Google or one of the other search engines. I am sure that most of the time visitors are looking for the originations of this quote, but I have to wonder, why is this quote on people's minds? Why are they pondering the passing of events?   Here is my thought: It is probably because most of us have realized that the adult life is much harder than we ever imagined it to be. There is more pain and more sorrow than we had ever imagined as children, but we have learned that time keeps ticking. And as time continues to flow things pass. In fact, even the really big things and the really hard things will still pass. If you are here because you are thinking ...

The Minnesota Crime Commission wrote:

Every baby starts life as a little savage. He is completely selfish and self-centered. He wants what he wants when he wants it: his bottle, his mother's attention, his playmate's toys, his uncle's watch, or whatever. Deny him these and he seethes with rage and aggressiveness which would be murderous were he not so helpless. He's dirty, he has no morals, no knowledge, no developed skills. This means that all children, not just certain children but all children, are born delinquent. If permitted to continue in their self-centered world of infancy, given free reign to their impulsive actions to satisfy each want, every child would grow up a criminal, a thief, a killer, a rapist.
