sites for students

This is a number of years to late for me, but notecentric is something I could have definitely seen as coming handy back when I was in school. You have to beware that people may not always capture everything accurately, but this would have been a big help for maintianing my own notes and to see what other people captured and what their perspectives were. Definitely could have been a useful tool to me, and I suspect is for current students.

Got an account and went in and played around in zoho. This (and openoffice) are nice sites to know about. I've never wanted to pay for microsoft office suite, but do from time to time want to do things with some of the tools (particularly excel), so its nice to know that there are some free tools like this out there. The zoho tools/applications are very similar to the microsoft products, so if you are familiar with those the tools in zoho should be easy to use.

congratulations on finishing 2.0

hanging in for all 19 weeks takes a lot of perseverance and curiousity.

i really agree with something you said in one of your early posts - a closed mind is just that - it doesn't allow for much growth.

without open minds and a willingness to experiment, we won't move very far as an organization
