Wish list for when I invent the internet

1. I want a word processor built in, so I can open a browser tab and start typing an assignment rather than waiting for Word to load and trying to switch windows back and forth if I'm doing research online. I want that word processor to save my work often (because I forget to do so) and to be easy to use.

2. I want a place to save my school assignments that won't lose them and is easily searchable, but that I can access from anywhere with internet access. BYU's NetStorage has been working pretty well for me in that regard--well, minus the "easily searchable" bit--but today I was reminded not to trust anything the school puts online (Blackboard, Route Y, now NetStorage, etc.) because it's remarkably undependable.

I was thinking things like this to myself a few minutes ago, when I thought to myself, "Self, you should use a blog!"

And then I thought, "Self, you have too many blogs already."

And then I thought, "But can you have too much of a good thing?" I contend that you cannot, and as evidence I give you chocolate chip cookies. Never enough.

Mmm...I really think I'm gonna go make some cookies. Or some monkey bread.

Or if you dislike Google docs, you could always try the Google notebook add-on for firefox. It's lovely for taking notes as you research.

Why don't you just blog into your facebook...I think you can set them to private there, I know you can on myspace, but you've already said you don't like myspace..haha.
