Picture Thesaurus...A Different Way

Thursday, September 6, 2007

Take the thesaurus to the next level. Visuwords lets you type in any word and it automatically opens a web of related words, definitions, things associated with that word. It's an eye-opening way to see the visual component behind words and their interconnectedness. Great tool for your kids to learn and discover. Try typing in the word 'computer', there are so many related words, it looks like your PC would explode.

Email Your Future Self

Thursday, August 9, 2007


FutureMe.org is a free website allowing you to send an e-mail to yourself up to 30 years in the future. You send it today; it comes back to you on the date you specify. Have it delivered to yourself in a week, a year, 10 years ... it's your call. You can choose to make the message "public" or "private." Public messages can be read by other visitors to the site ... It's a lot of fun to read what others are forwarding to their future-selves. Some examples: "Is the guy who stopped calling you worth all the turmoil he's causing you? Can you even remember his name now?" "Happy 40th Birthday to Me." And lots of people plotting their present goals and emailing themselves in the future to see if they walked the talk (or type in this case).

An original. She was blogging before it was a verb & she hasn't stopped ... She even spawned a verb: to be "dooced" is to be fired for something you post on the Internet. She is a) gorgeous b) a fabulous photographer & c) now supports her family by blogging, which pretty much makes her my idol at the moment;)

The growing site has even caught the eye of Oprah. It's beautiful to see so many faces & eye-opening to realize just how many reflective surfaces there are -- glass buildings, rear-view mirrors, even hub caps.

Custom Email Address

Monday, June 18, 2007


Little known fact, AOL Email is free and completely customizable. Are you and your husband into opera? You can become mr&mrsopera@latraviata.com. Have children addicted to school sports? Have your family domain as family@gotigers.com. The only trick is that if the name is already taken, (as some of you AIM users know), you'll have to be a little creative. Create your own domain, and add as many friends or family as you want:
