a little known google feature...

I was surprised and excited about a Google feature I only discovered today. While looking for the AWOL Google video (hoping to see the Bill Gates / Napoleon Dynamite video I ran across Google SMS.

In a nutshell, Google SMS is a way to send an SMS message (text messaging on most mobile phones) to Google to receive directions, movie times, and other information (the Google SMS site highlights the types of searches and the syntax used to get the desired results).

After retrieving some directions and movie times, I would recommend that everyone add, Google SMS to their mobile phones.

Free Linspire

For those that aren't aware, Linspire is a version of Linux that is not typically free. It is also a very friendly version of Linux. I haven't worked extensively with it, but it can coexist with Windows and read FAT32 out of the box which are nice features if you want to play with Linux and not give up Windows. Without a vast amount of Linux experience, I will agree with the Linspire assertion that it is the 'World's Easiest Desktop Linux'.

With all that said, and due to some confusion in the Linux world, Linspire has felt it necessary to provide Linspire 5.0 free until September 6th. Here is the magic link with how it works:

Linspire - The World's Easiest Desktop Linux

With the exception of using bittorrent, the process is easy and worth while. So if you have any interest in a extremely easy Linux version to play with here is your chance...
