As a new Blog Post, answer the following:

What's another way we can organize your computers? What about email? Your Favorite Websites? Your Blog Posts? RSS Feeds? Reply to this post with specific ways, websites that can help you, and anything else you would want to add.

1. Another way to organize things such as photos, bookmarks, Rss Feeds, etc is to put them on one file.
2. For e-mails, you can use hashtags or even save e-mails into certain folders. You also have the opportunity to mark them as read or unread for better organization.
3. I would create a folder and keep all my favorite websites in them so they would be easier to access and i'd be able to get to them quickly.
4. I title my blog posts, so that i know what the articles and blogs are about without having to open them.
5. Using google will help to research information & using diigo made bookmarking much easier, efficient, organized, and quicker

The watch style gadget has starting price of 199 dollars. This watch shows an optical blood flow monitor that uses light to detect how hard your heart is beating.

Silent but deadly: Special forces seek quiet, subsonic bullets

Click here for article.

                                                                                                                                                            

                               

                Most bullets make small sonic booms when flying through the air, which to our ears sound like a loud, distinct "crack!" Now the commandos want to be sneakier with slower, quieter bullets. In its latest round of small-business solicitations, the Pentagon's Special Operations Command, or SOCOM, is seeking out subsonic ammunition. The reason, according to the solicitation, is to "provide superior covert and stealth capabilities" for not only the military, but police forces and the Department of Homeland Security. The Pentagon has one idea about how to build a better subsonic bullet. One solution could be using "polymer cased ammunition". The Pentagon is somewhat vague about how this will work. Special forces 'want to be sneakier with slower, quieter bullets'.The quieter bullets would travel slowly enough not to break the sound barrier. Subsonic bullets pose a greater risk of jamming.
