How can you keep all your bookmarks, notes, and links in one place when you work on a different computer at home, school, the library and at work? A great web-based service called Evernote enables you to copy and paste from any computer or mobile device (including iPhone) to your own evernote account. No need to write on scraps of paper or synchronize files. It’s not just convenient, it’s a great learning tool also. Did I mention that the basic account is FREE?
Various versions of files, documents, shortcuts and links swamp the hard drives on each of the three computers I use. My thumb drives contain a web of duplicated files, text and shortcuts.

I need all my bookmarks, text copied from electronic sources, and downloaded files available in one place, accessible from any computer I use. Enter Evernote. [Read more...]

Pink Floyd phrased the sentiment well when they sang, “We don’t need no education…we don’t need no mind control!” The more liberated you feel, the better you’ll learn.
Do you ever try to dream up the next big thing that might change the world and make you rich? I’d guess that Facebook, Twitter and Google dominate most conversations about Internet technology and innovation. But what’s next? There must be a “next.” Will it be your invention?.
Family get-togethers turn strange when relatives ask, “So, what is it you do for a living again?” I reply, “I’m an Instructional Designer!” Without fail, the next crack is something like, “Don’t they make some type of pill that will cure that?” My Grandpa-in-Law is still convinced I make comic books for a living – a far cry from the interactive computer-based training I develop. Learning the basic principles of instructional design can help you teach yourself more effectively and master higher paying job skills.

Has the fad of blogging died out yet? I – like Darren Rowse of Problogger.net – hate the term itself. Sounds like some bodily indiscretion: “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go blog.” However, publishing through the Internet offers great opportunities to improve several important abilities. You’ll sharpen your marketable skills, make some new friends, and possibly bring in some extra money as you start sharing your ideas through blogging.
