Maybe something your readers might be interested in, a new subscription service for people who live alone. It contacts you up to 4 times a day using email, txt and two voice calls. Just reply or answer once and no more contact attempts that day. Only $30 a month (discounts for longer) and it works in USA, Canada and central Mexico. The website is http://www.robochek.com Originally designed for older folks but works for any age and is not hardware dependent, all you need is a phone. If you don’t reply or answer it automatically sends an email and voice call to two emergency contacts asking them to check in on you. Several user selectable options..call everyday or every 2 or 3 days, etc… I read your site often and find some of the articles and news items quite useful, so thanks for your time and effort, you do good work! – Jerry

I’ve been reading your Sunday column now for some time and appreciate the knowledge you convey. Could you turn your spotlight on what are the best phone number search companies and cut through the b.s. for us? Being in business I get hundreds of calls on caller i.d. and need to know, sometimes, where they come fro, but if I just put one in the search bar (doesn’t matter whose) it brings up a hundred thousand phone search companies and I don’t have the time to filter through them. So I need a ‘top 5′.
Hope you can do this sometime. I’ll try sifting through your site but wish you could get this in somewhere in the syndicated columns you do. Thanks in advance.

Just read Tricks & Tips,
My favorite in Windows Explorer (surprise how many users don’t know what WE is), is the F2 key to change a file name or copy a file name for pasting in another folder, especially long names. A programmer for a software company was trying to get their bad program to work for our company and didn’t know that trick. Glad I wasn’t paying for the software.

I’m spending hours browsing your site. So much good stuff. Found you on blogtalkradio, and enjoyed all the info you guys talk about on there. The great online applications you mention are what I like the most.

Following you on Twitter too.

Thanks, Michael.

Bob & Joy~
Two interesting and useful sites I’ve recently found are dogfriendly.com and talkingstreet.com. Tess just adopted a dog and I (quasi-grandma) am finding info. for her and Riley. In addition, the city tours seems like a fun way to download walking tour info onto your cell phone. I don’t know how well it works but have heard good things. I really enjoy the headsets I rent for touring museums so I figure this is worth trying. Unfortunately, I think they primarily focus on places that I only wish to go, however, a trip to San Francisco seems likely. I’d guess Chicago has much to offer.
Hope you’re weather’s improving!

I just read your column about putting your picture on fake magazine covers.

Digital camera’s used to bundle software for doing things like that.

I have an old disc from a polaroid digital camera called that did this.
