I will be traveling again in a few weeks and will be away for quite some time. While traveling it is hard to maintain the blog. But I do the best I can. Bear with me.
However, I have found a tool that will make it easier: cloud computing.
Yes, cloud computing has been around for quite awhile but I am only starting to use it. By strict definition, this probably isn't even true cloud computing. But I was introduced to "Dropbox.com" and it is awesome. "Dropbox.com" allows me to store data files somewhere out there on "the internets," as one of our former presidents so famously said, and then can access those files wherever I have an internet connection. In addition, it automatically syncs all changes I make.
I have "Dropbox.com" on my Apple desktop computer, and then was reminded that "Dropbox.com" also has an iPad application, for free downloading. It is spectacular. I cannot overstate how crystal clear, how aesthetic, the products are on the iPad. It truly is magical.
The iPad is not good for productivity, but it is awesome for the tools for which it was designed. Anyway, a little plug for which I will receive no compensation. Smile.
[September 24, 2010: I received the following comment regarding this post, but it failed to post, so I will post the comment here, since it is pithy and important: "Ah yes, the Kool Aid. Spectacular. Crystal Clear. Truly Magical. Not good for productivity. A near total failure on the trip to North Dakota. Awesome. Glad to see the moments of lucidity." -- sent in by "anonymous." My reply is in the comments.]
