Grammar Checker

I could have learned grammar when I was younger, but I was lazy. I may not have learned grammar, but I did find Whitesmoke’s Free Online Grammar Checker to identify and correct my grammatical blunders.

Jotti’s Malware Scan

I have used Jotti’s online scan for years. There are times when I have wanted to test a file I downloaded from the internet. Jotti scans have helped me to avoid opening tainted Windows files.

Google’s new Chrome OS will use web apps exclusively. Whether you ever use Chrome OS or not you will want to know about some great convenient user-friendly web apps.

Over the next couple of days I will introduce you to some of my favorite web apps.

Aviary

I love creating on Aviary. Mostly I’ve edited photos, but you can also create “logos, web templates, filters, color palettes, screen capture & more.”

Bubble.Us

Do I Dare?

I know several of you have already joined the Mac Caravan but many of you still use Windows. Having spent the last several months with a PowerBook I thought I would share my observations with you.

I envision three possible reasons you might benefit from reading this:
Windows User – You might want to know what it would be like to make the transition from XP to OSX.
New Mac User – Perhaps I have learned something you were wondering about.
Experienced Mac User – I’m cheap and need to live on a budget, maybe I found a free tool you would like to know about.
