How to use a powernap | GearFire - Tips for Students

"First of all, this post isn’t about HOW TO powernap. It is about how to USE a powernap. You probably all know already how to powernap (or supercharge nap, whatever you call it). Probably not the coffee trick, but I will keep that for later. Do you also know how to USE the powernap? ‘What do you mean, you just take a nap right when you are feeling tired?’ Indeed. But not only when you are feeling tired."

Eliminiate duplicate contacts in Google Mail

Gmail added a feature that detects and merges duplicate contacts. "To clean up your contact list in one fell swoop, just click the Find duplicates button in the contact manager, review the merge suggestions (and uncheck any suggestions you don't want merged), and hit the Merge button." If you have many contacts, it's a good idea to consolidate them and to have a single contact for each person.

"Although the door-as-desk option is often seen as a last-ditch solution for broke college kids and startup companies, it's a great way to get a lot of working space cheaply. It also doesn't have to be drab or cheap looking.

If you've been considering an office overhaul or simply need a new desk, give the following door-as-desk designs a look over. Each gallery entry has a description and a link back to the source of the image for additional reading and design ideas. "

SharePoint Best Practices - Context is Everything - SharePoint Joel's SharePoint Land

  • Best Practices is about doing things the right way: the most efficient, effective ways to achieve goals, distilled into adaptable, repeatable procedures you can use.”

Google Docs rolls out student-oriented features | The Web Services Report - CNET News

  • Google Docs' summer interns this summer were tasked with working on improvements and additions to the service geared toward students.


    The results of their work, now available to try out, include new features such as an equation editor, superscripts and subscripts, document translation, improvements to surveys, and more outlining options.

  • Students comprise one of the core groups of users and potential users of Docs, so it makes sense to build out the feature set to support the kinds of word-processing, spreadsheet-tweaking, and presentation-building tasks that they typically need to perform.
