So what can I say about these tools? A few of them are absolutely incredible! Most don’t do much for me, but hey, it’s good to know they exist!
I created an iGoogle account because….I already have a bunch of stuff in Google, so why not. One stop shopping, right? I added a bunch of widget type things into the account that will never be of any use because I will never log in to iGoogle to look at them. But they are there just in case I go wild one day and decide to live my whole life through my computer. It could happen. I did get to pick a groovy image for the banner. I tried to create my own banner image using my Flickr account and an image off of my hard drive, but both avenues were cut short by Google not accepting them for whatever reason. I prefer to think the new system is buggy. Ohh well, I did find a fractal banner, and I just loves me a fractal, so it’s cool. Adding the rest of the widgets was very easy. I did have to configure the one for current weather to my area of the world, but that’s ok. I was also able to remove the cnn link and a few other that I have no interest in. Now I iGoogle.
The file converting sites are just too cool, and very useful. I am glad to know about them, so when students come in with whatever they have from home, they can always use our programs here at the school.
Beyond all this, no I don’t see a need to use online calendars and planners. I would spend half of my time updating them, instead of getting things done. Completely organized, and always one step behind.

Well hello Captain Rob,
ReplyDeleteSure no problem and thanks for checking this blog out.I liked your approach, so I subscribed to your blog. If you bother to read down to Thing 9 or so, you can see where I was getting frustrated with the same issue using Javascript.
