I know what you are expecting from a top 10 list claiming to be from 2008, but let me just dash those hopes right now by letting you into my life a little bit. I very rarely hear music in a timely fashion. Sometimes I do, especially is Rob shares songs with me or gives me a new album to listen to.

I could not live without Gmail*, and I shared a few reasons yesterday that show how email makes living far away from friends and family easier, but it makes work life easier as well. Even though Gmail and Google have become a dynasty which scares some people away, their innovative, cutting-edge products have proven that they deserve the cult-like following they have amassed.

I have been asked one too many times, and now I have to explain myself!
Colleagues frequently come to me asking how to insert a scanned image into a Word file or format a document better. Some of my Language Centre tutors shuddered when I decided to use an online time card over a paper version. I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve
Today here on Tuesdays with Linden’s Favorite Links I’m going to start sharing my thoughts on Google Chrome. For those of you who just don’t care about Google, I am including a recipe and a Dr. Seuss-esque running poem. Just click here to skip past all of today’s Google stuff).
Last week, I* announced Google’s release of their attempt at creating a new browser from the ground up
This week I’ve got–you guessed it–a couple running links: Nitmos suggests post-marathon celebration, stretching from Hal, and post-run activities to avoid and to indulge in. But I’ve also got a new browser announcement for you. Check it out!
There are lots of things I’ve been wondering about and don’t want to write a full post about. So I’m just going to put them here and call it a random day.
Web 2.Oh. . .really? author, Craig Stoltz, wrote a blog post about how, despite having edited “miles of copy in [his] day,” Twitter has won him over by constantly asking him to sharpen his editing skills.
