So our TV is dead. That is probably a great thing. I am not trying to focus on that but what has come of it because it is broken. I am reading more at night than I have before. I love to read and now I am actually doing it because I am not watching all that filth that is on that dumb tube. But something better has come of it. At night I am spending more time talking with my wife. We have been discussing things more in depth than we have before. And yes I enjoy it. Maybe the curse of the TV is a good thing.

Notes are stronger than memory
Do you ever think of something and mean to write it down and never do, something really important, so you say to yourself "I'll remember that" and then when it come to it you don't?
Ya, I had one of those today. I always mean to write it done, just get to busy to do so. Well getting to busy is a big crock of an excuse. We would probably save time in the long run if we would just write in down int the first place. I have learned that writers have these notebooks that they call, of all things, writers notebook. They just jot down what ever they think when it comes to them, or details that they see or here when they are out and about. The way a certain thing looks at dusk. Or the sounds that people make getting on or off a bus, or the smell of food cooking in a restaurant. Well you get the point. Saves a lot of time while they are writing.
So my point-well I guess I better get better at jotting down my thoughts when they come to me. Yes this will mean start carrying around some type of note pad. But wait most of us already carry those around. They are called Cell Phones (most now a days have a note pad function on them.) Like we didn't already know.

Dropbox with link this time
So here is some info again and with the link this time.
http://db.tt/5kwzyFc
DROPBOX
Dropbox is software that syncs your files online and across your computers. 2 GB of free space.
Every time you save a file in Dropbox, Dropbox syncs it to its secure servers. Dropbox keeps a history of every change you make so that you can undo any mistakes and even undelete files. By default, Dropbox keeps 30 days of history for all your files.
With Dropbox, online backup is automatic.
Any file you put into your Dropbox folder is automatically backed up to the servers. Even if your computer has a melt-down, your files are safe on Dropbox and can be restored at any time. While the free 2GB account is perfect for backing up smaller files and documents, Dropbox offers larger accounts (up to 100GB) for backing up more and bigger files, like your music and video collections.
Dropbox lets you share files easily.
You can easily share entire folders or photo albums with Dropbox. Simply put the folders you want to share in your Dropbox, and invite people to them. You can also send people links to specific files within your Dropbox. This makes Dropbox perfect for team projects.

Organizing life-Drop box
So we do sometimes run around like I said last time, like chickens with our heads chopped off. How much of that is because we have no focus on what we are doing? It is interesting to note in our day to day lives that when we are organized things run so much better. Try it, I dare you. I have noticed that the Saturdays that I don't schedule out with things to do, they fly by and it feels like I get nothing accomplished.
So what am I saying? Life is better when it is organized a bit. Yes we most definitely need off the cuff moments though.
Here is a way to make your technology life a little easier.

Blank moments
I am sitting here at lunch doing nothing thinking that I need to do something, but there is nothing there. So I just sit here aimlessly staring at my computer screen looking at nothing in particular. I want to be doing something productive, but still here I am. Is life like that? At times yes I think so. We just go through the days following our routines just because they are easy and that is what we always do. Its easy. And then on top of that we don't have to chance anything, or think about it. Walking down the sidewalk or riding on a bus or in the subway; how many are there that are drone machines programed on our daily routine. Then there is a bump on the road we walk around it and get right back on our one way railway track.
My kids are growing up and I am not going to get them little again. It is warming up outside and they want to be out there. But "I have things to do" needs to get thrown off my track and spend some time with them. If I don't I sure am going to miss out.
Memory's are everything, lets not waste them.
