The True Future of Online Office Productivity

October 24, 2007

Screw Google Docs or Writely or whatever. Forget about ZohoWriter and MS-Office Online…

If you’re looking for a truly awe-inspiring online word processor, look no further than WordPerhect.

You be pleasantly surprised by the advanced interface and a truckload of innovative features such as:

– the ability to write on a variety of media from the back of silver cigarette foil to a torn off strip of cardboard
– the ability to customize your writing instrument size
– the choice of colour (as long as it’s black)
– the ability to save your documents, and even print your documents
– in the spirit of less is more, the delete key scratches out the previous character, there is no delete per se.

Make sure that you use your browser full screen since the highly advanced rendering engine will scale accordingly and enhance readability.

ps. The pop up dialog system will undoubtedly be the model for OS’s in the future.

The Eight Irresistable Principles of Fun

October 21, 2007

If you’re anything like me, there are times when you get in a rut, creatively or personally. If you need a quick kick in the pants or just something to pick you up and get you on your way again, check out The Eight Irresistable Principles of Fun.

It’s not anything too nutty or pie in the sky. Just a very well done and attractive presentation with eight very common sense principles. I probably violate every one of them at one time or another – but also hold each and everyone of them in high regard.

New 4GB CF Card – $129 Not Bad Eh?

March 20, 2007

On a lighter note, the day before Idiot broke into my car, I picked up a new 4GB compact flash card for, get this, $129.00 CDN.

I took a look at an old Shutterbug magazine from November 2003, its cover story touting the news that Lexar had released the worlds first 4GB flash card. At that time, it’s street price was $1500.00 USD!!

I heard just a few days ago that flash memory pricing has taken a real dip as of late. So if you’re interested in a new card, maybe now’s the time.

Well it’s definitely not Miller Time…

Okay… FlickrTime (but the page says FlickerTime) is a neat use of flash. Not terribly useful, but neat nonetheless.

Only one complaint though. The poor choice of font for the title on that page might lead your co-workers to believe it’s “F*#ker Time”.
