secrets of the bionic woman

June 23, 2008 · 15 Comments

i sometimes (in my head - of course not out loud) call myself the bionic woman, because i spend so much time attached to a computer. ugh.

anyway, here’s how i do it:

  • bloglines - my feed reader - you can use these types of things to subscribe to your favorite blogs, then whenever these blogs have new posts, they will be shown in your reader! makes life simple.
  • Quick Screen Capture - there are a number of free screen capture software downloads. i use “Quick Screen Capture” - this way i can take “pictures” of things on the net. watch out for copyright laws, though!
  • flickr - i gotta host all these pics somewhere.
  • Gmail plus Google Apps (online spreadsheets, databases, etc) plus Remember The Milk (keeps a to-do list in Gmail - yay)
  • GoDaddy.com - i have a love/hate relationship with this company, but it’s just about the cheapest way to grab a domain name. hence, mandythompson.com
  • StumbleUpon - ok this is just weird. but fun. it is a GREAT way to find new ideas/thingies/ articles/thingies/ideas on the web. check it out.
  • Dictionary.com (yes. who am i kidding???)
  • Serif Page Plus - free download - desktop publishing software (kinda like microsoft publisher)
  • Serif Picture Plus - free download - photo editing software - easy enough.
  • Windows Movie Maker - it was installed in my software package on my laptop, and i use it to make the videos. its easier than publishing a blog post. i ain’t lyin
  • youtube - duh. y’all know that already.
  • FileFreak.com - a REALLY tacky place for me to host my original songs in order to link them here on my blog.
  • ProTools LE plus M-Box2 - niiiiiiiiiice going away present from my church. a little over my head, but TOTALLY an amazing piece of recording software.
  • MasterWriter - songwriting software. spoils me. challenges me. inspires me. organizes me.

any secrets i’m missing out on???
