This video gives a quick look at customizing your Google homepage and using GMail and the Google Calendar. All FREE stuff! I especially like having my notes, e-mail, calendar, bookmarks, news feeds and much more all web-based. This means this information is not on my computer so I can access my “homepage” anywhere from any computer that has an Internet connection. This is especially nice if you travel a lot. And with 3 gigs of storage space FREE with GMail you can store huge amounts of data including Word documents, photos, etc. Combine this with services like PhotoBucket and you may not need to store any data on your computer except as a backup.

Craig Shipp
I travel all over the USA and sometimes the world. I enjoy the outdoors, playing tennis and photography. My daytime job is website development including the AreaGuides.com Network (see Frederick.com for an example of our work, I have more than 100,000 photos published there). By the way we always have opportunities for sharp motivated indivituals in our organization so let me know if you're looking for a really exciting way to earn a living. I'm also looking for someone to help with a new website I'm planning that will be a service for up and coming models. I spend winters in Florida and spring and fall in the Washington DC area (Thurmont, MD). I usually travel in the summer either north to Maine or Canada or to Europe or out west. My goal is to enjoy spring-like weather year round! Moscow in July is great. Rome in January isn't too bad either! PS: I'm always looking for tennis partners so if you play or would like to learn to play let me know - especially in the Thurmont area (spring and fall) as there seems to be a shortage in Thurmont.
