This article is very interesting how someone developed a school boundary map so that kids and parents know where the bus stop is, school crossing, school location and bike walks. It can even show traffic safety routes around the school so people could be aware of. I hope that more parents and teachers will be involve in doing this at other locations.

Net Ready Tv's
On the September 2005 issue of Popular Science I discovered that Televisions are taking a future step by being net ready.
What this means is that hopefully more manufactures will make television with a network card so that we can view programming, music,DVD's, pictures, and anything else you have on your computer via your television set. If this takes off be ready to see more television and computer components integrated together.

Cloudmark Anti Fraud Toolbar
A while back I suggest the Netcraft toolbar to spot phishing sites on the web.
Now another company developed another anti fraud toolbar. It's still in beta version but its worth to watch and see other companies getting serious about phishing sites.

Uniden Cordless Bluetooth Phone
It's the first phone that offers the capability to link with your home phone and your cellular phone together.
In the next few years you will see more of these bluetooh phones being made by other carriers. I have long awaited this and I am hoping soon that they incorporate Voice over IP phones together as well.
Eventually you will only need one phone that will portable where ever you go.
Thank you Uniden for making my dreams come true.

Apple iTunes
If you miss those mp3 files that you've recently stopped downloading from the internet because of the recent lawsuits by the RIAA.
Your best bet is to join Apple iTunes. It's legal and its your best way to still have music files on your personal computer. If it wasn't for Apple we would still be downloading illegal music and be afraid of getting sued by the RIAA.
Right now its a better alternative instead of getting sued. The choice is yours.

Staple Weekly Specials
I enjoy checking out the weekly specials from staples because you never really know what you can get for a good price.
My key goals are to wait for the weekly specials and If I see something that interests me I either purchase it or wait another time to buy one of those must have items from Staples.

Xbox 360
Don't know if this game is going to be what we all expect it to be.
But Microsoft is spending a lot of money to prove us wrong.
I will wait and see what the majority of the gamers say when this product comes out.
But I love the work they did on the web site.

Ringo
Looking for a site to put your friends emails, pictures, birthdays etc.
Try Ringo. It's Free and the nice thing is that you can easily tell everyone who is signed up with your service when your email, physical address or telephone number change without having to email them or contact them directly.
As long as they are on your contact list and they are signed up for Ringo. All of your contacts and there contacts will be updated with the correct information.
I've seen this a while on American Online. But it was nice that someone else made a service that was not associated with a paid service. This makes it easier for you to still get the contact information up to date.

CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT NOTICE
What is this lawsuit about?
The lawsuit the Court preliminarily approved for settlement as a nationwide class action and this notice is titled Melissa Dukes and Thomas J. Dolan, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. Hewlett-Packard Company, Case No. CV-2002-270. Plaintiffs allege that HP committed deceptive and unfair trade practices because HP allegedly did not disclose to Plaintiffs and Class Members that HP: (a) placed recovery software on certain PC hard disk drives, which reduced the storage space on their computer hard drives; (b) did not provide them CD-ROMs containing recovery software; and, (c) loaded a version of the Windows XP operating system that did not include the "ValueAdd" and "Support" folders, which were included in stand-alone versions of Windows XP available for purchase separately. Plaintiffs claim that the foregoing practices caused damages to them and the Class. However, HP believes and contends that the current configuration of the Class PC Models is preferred, and that hard drive recovery is superior to recovery with CDs. HP denies any and all liability for the claims alleged in Plaintiffs_ lawsuit. By preliminarily approving the Settlement of this lawsuit, the Court has not decided in favor of the Plaintiffs or HP.
What are My Options if I am a Class Member?
You May File a Claim to Receive the Settlement Benefits. Class Members must submit a properly completed Requested Relief Form by September 9, 2005. Class Members may complete a Requested Relief Form, or request a copy of the form, online at http://www.computersettlement.com/.

Tips for Recording Word Microns
as per Dummies Etip here is a good tip to know
Tips for Recording Word Macros
About the only thing that's not recorded by the macro recorder are mouse movements within the document. The macro recorder will record buttons or menu choices you click, but if you move around the document with the mouse or select text with the mouse, those actions aren't recorded. Remember to use the keyboard for navigating or selecting text while recording a macro.
Here are other tips to keep in mind as you record macros:
Macros are normally stored in the global Normal.dot template. To store a macro in the template attached to the current document, change the setting of the Record Macro dialog box's Store Macro In list box.
If you use the Find or Replace commands, be sure to move to the beginning of the document first.
Avoid any commands that depend on the content of a document that is active when you record the macro.
