It’s not very common for people to switch ISPs on a whim. Once you’re locked into an ISP in your area, it could be time consuming and costly to switch. It wasn’t until I recently switched from Comcast to Verizon that I realized how many services and web sites I signed up with my Comcast email address, and if I’m going to get rid of Comcast, I’m going to have to change my email address on all of them. The biggest reason for doing so is password recovery. If you forget your password, it’s generally emailed to you. However, when you drop your ISP, you no longer have access to that email account, making password recovery difficult, if not impossible.
The time I’ve been spending with my iPad has been sporadic at best. I love the thing, but my schedule doesn’t allow me to use it as much as I had hoped over these last few weeks.

Part two of our series of working in the cloud talks about different services for keeping your files in the cloud.
A few years ago, if I wanted to copy a large project I was working on between work and home, I’d have to burn it to a CD-R or DVD-R. This was clunky and slow, not to mention expensive since both CD and DVD burners were expensive when they were first released. Over time, USB drives came to be and that made everyone’s lives so much easier since they’re so cheap. They are still something extra to carry around, and I’m not one to carry too much with me, so sometimes I’d forget. Since I carry my iPod around with me all the time, I could essentially use that as a storage device if I really had to.

I try to keep everything I have on my computer as organized as possible. One thing I like to do is organize where all my images go for certain uses. I keep all the images I use for my blog posts in one folder called “Blog Pictures” so that I know where they live if I have to reference them in the future.
