Three New Tools

   Photoshop from Adobe now has an free online version at http://www.photoshop.com/express/. They provide a basic editor and two gigs of storage online. It has a good menu and can be useful in the Web 2.0 world. However, with no software on the HD, the first shortcoming the leapt out at me was not being able to scan images with the software.Sign-up is a snap. 

 ”Timelines Online are available at http://www.xtimeline.com. Self-described: ”When we developed the timeline tool, our friends thought of many ways to creatively use the timeline. Some of them thought the timeline could become a great public service, a resource for history education and for debate over current issues. The ability of these timelines to entertain and educate convinced us that other people would enjoy our timeline as much as we do. And that’s how xtimeline came to have a home of its own. “

I got a real kick out of PocketMod this weekend. Check it out at http://www.pocketmod.com/ I made a scad of these little booklets out of single 8.5×11 sheets of paper. As craft-challenged as I am, I whipped them right out. The developers explain: The PocketMod is a new way to keep yourself organized. Lets face it, PDAs are too expensive and cumbersome, and organizers are bulky and hard to carry around. Nothing beats a folded up piece of paper. That is until now. With the PocketMod, you can carry around the days notes, keep them organized in any way you wish, then easily transfer the notes to your PDA, spreadsheet, or planner.

The PocketMod is a small book with guides on each page. These guides or templates, combined with a unique folding style, enable a normal piece of paper to become the ultimate note card. It is hard to describe just how incredibly useful the PocketMod is. It’s best that you just dive in and create one.”
