3) Could this Water Bottle Really Fill Itself?
We couldn’t believe our eyes when we saw this new product. Imagine setting up your team with water bottles that self-refill all day long. Wild. And imagine helping nationals acquire this technology so they hydrate too!
4) We’re all Connected, Right? Maybe not so Much (says Sherry Turkle)
Did you think that the internet and digital devices would connect communities? Check out Sherry Turkle’s take:

If she’s right, we could be ambushed by waves of lonely people in our respective orgs. Yikes. : ) We better start listening more! : )
5) Help the Deaf Hear the sounds of Good News in India
If you work in India, and you have met a deaf person there, and wish you could conect him/her with Jesus, you just might be in luck. Now you can point them to
where you’ll find four different sign language versions of India that may meet their needs.
6) Cool Tools: Back up Your Work
Sooner or later, you’ll unintentionally overwrite your work, or worse yet, your equipment will fail or be stolen. We’ve tried online back-up software. To us, it has just become too big of a hassle and too slow. But if you want to give it a try, check out CrashPlan (free with ads) or CrashPlan Plus. (You can evidently use CrashPlan for free with an external hard drive, though we haven’t tried this option. This would be a great choice for Mac users, by the way.) However, with large hard drives dropping so low in price, we now recommend carrying a 1-, a 2-, or a 3- terabyte hard drive. It’s about the size of a small smart-phone. (We live in an amazing age, eh? USB sticks are another option, if you have a USB port on your device (all of them should!). Backup software varies greatly per device. If you’re on Windows, check out

It’s free and easy to set up. The only problem is, you have to remember to delete your old backups (maybe leave 3 previous versions). Mac users, see the above note about CrashPlan.
If you don’t mind paying for backup software, try Acronis True Image. It thinks like we think.

12) The Most Powerful Task Management App Yet?
Recently, we’ve discovered My Life Organized, which just might be the most powerful task management app we’ve ever seen. Each user can customize his or her interface as he/she desires, yet all be working off the same shared task list. It’s sooooo fast… and completely offline when needed (then syncs quickly when your device sees the web). Get specialized offline apps for iPhone, iPad, Android, and Windows. Yes, it costs something. But wow — if you’re looking for power, we can’t think of anything that competes.
