I did always wonder what the heck a wiki was. I've used wikipedia for information gathering, but never really knew what made it a wiki or how it could benefit me.
I'm looking forward to forming one of these for our TeenSpace leadership group, I think.
I also see how this could help me avoid having to be in "team" meetings all the time. We might be able to coordinate our team efforts via a wiki.
So...woo, woo!...for wiki's.
...oh, and when looking up Rochester in Racine County....RPL is not an external link.

Google Calendars saved me from losing my mind
Have you EVER had to try to maintain more than one physical calendar? In my insane life I had 4: personal home calendar, kids' activities calendar, traveling calendar (was supposed to have everything in it), and work calendar ( I do programming for crying out loud!).
Needless to say, I would wake in a cold sweat every night wondering if I had forgotten to enter something somewhere...and I inevitably had.
I was a neurotic mess.
Then Google calendars entered my life. I am able to have all of my calendars in one spot and share them with my family, friends and coworkers. I can also access them from any computer. Hallelujah!!!!!
I spend about 15 minutes every morning updating and checking all the calendars and then breath easier and more stress free for the rest of the day. I can also print them off and take them with me if I need to .
I LOVE GOOGLE CALENDARS!

Google Docs - my friends love me
I've played around with Google Docs for about 3 months now. As with most new applications, I prefer to try things out and read instructions as I need them. So, I'm sure I still have a lot to learn about how this can help me and about how it works. I've yet to run into any insurmountable roadblocks.
With all the community collaborative work I do I've found Google docs to be invaluable in having fliers & press releases approved in a timely manner.
And my on-line friends love me. I'm no longer sending files that eat up their email space and take an hour to download.
