I use a product that just caught my attention in the last month and has now become absolutely invaluable–Dropbox. It’s one of those products that I can’t see getting very much better–it’s almost perfect already. It’s like a folder out on the internet, accessible from all your devices (Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, Blackberry). Unlike […]

While I was looking for the email address of one of our missionaries, I found this this anecdote about Steve Jobs.
