So I’ve run across Writely – a web-based word processor. I’ve been watching for something like this for awhile, and thought it would be interesting to try writing a blog post from Writely, a feature they talk about in their site’s tour. The neat thing about Writely as a blog post editor is the full suite of word processing tools available to you.
That’s not to minimize the feature set at all – it is a serious word processor with all the main tools you need to write many document types. There is support for tables, images, multiple styles, and much more. It automatically saves data on the fly, and can also track document versions.

Have you checked out Windows Live this morning? Apparently Microsoft updated the Live site code durning the night last night as Robert Scoble mentioned. This is a very impressive upgrade, lots of nice improvements to the already steamlined interface. Recommend you check it out!

Picked up a book last week that I have not been able to put down. Its called Shadow Divers, and is about those two divers on the History Channel’s “Deep Sea Detectives“. This is an exciting book, its a non-fiction work that details the discovery and investigation of a unknown WWII U-boat off the New Jersey coast. Anyone who enjoys the History Channel show should check this book out.

Is there a good spell check plug-in for WordPress? I’ve been looking for one, but have only run across two – one of which states that it “doesn’t play well with WordPress 2”. Does anyone know of a good spell checker for WordPress?
If I was any good at programing, I’d try my hand at creating one as it seems that there is a shortage of them!

Well, this is my first attempt to post frorm rry my iPaq, and I’m pleasentty pleasently surprised to find that WordPress works well with the older uerspon version of Pocket Internet Explorer.
Now lets hit the publish button and see what happens.
Update: It does work well – of course I was using “Transcriber” and made a few mistakes that I had to come back to correct. 🙂

It seems that T-Mobile is offering free weekend WiFi to all its customers for a limited time. Nice spiff! Apparently, all a customer has to do is surf to http://freeweekends.hotspot.t-mobile.com where they will be asked for their mobile phone number. Once the number is entered into the system, an SMS message will be sent to the phone allowing access to any T-Mobile hotspot on weekends.
