411 on your Cell Phone

I've advised a few people in the past and I hope they still remember this.
Why dial 411 on your phone and get charge for it when you can do it for free with Google.
It's simple -
the easiest example is as follows:

Just send a text message to 46645 and in the message type pizza and your zip code let's say its 11220.

Wait a few minutes and if you did it correctly it should give you the closest pizza restaurants with in a radius of that zip code.

There are so many functions you can do like:
Driving directions
Weather
Stock Quotes
Movie Showtimes
Product prices
Dictionary
Etc.

Blogging for Dummies

How do I do my blogging and what's all blogging about?
Well blogging is what your are currently seeing and blogging is when someone who writes which is me and interacts with others on a website and they leave comments and reply to what you write about.
Right now there is a high demand in picture blogs which contains all pictures. These sites are showing up every where and everyone is getting in on the action because there is big money to be made on picture blogging.

Now if you want to do a blog go to my bookmarks. In my bookmarks go to Computer -> Blog and either use my Blog folder for hints on doing your own blog. That's the best way I think that you can learn how to do a blog. It's not difficult to do on your own. But this way is time consuming and in the end your blog will be different from the rest.
If you want to cheat just go to www.blogger.com and create an account and the rest should be simple.

Is that simple enough.


Techie

What's my techie site all about?

That's simple.
It has links for the IT in you for

All Updates - link for updates to all your software's
Tutorials
IP Address locator
Live Manuals - for those missing manuals you need and lost
Email Testing Sites

This site changes from time to time but it's really for my tech friends and people who just want a little technical experience.


Taxes

If you are one of those tax freaks.
This is a site for you.
I posted various links that are useful for tax preparation season.
Everything from tax software's to tax guides, to state form and 1099's to do your returns.

I even included a Tax Calculator Site that calculates what you will owe in taxes if your one of those few who get 1099's instead of tax forms.

List gets updated every once in a while when I discover a useful link that may be of some use to others.

Solution for Various Email Accounts

Have more than one email account.
Hate it to check all your accounts daily to see if you had mail.
Try www.ePrompter.com


How it work:
Eprompter installs it's software and stays on your desktop. It gets updated every 15 minutes and when new mail comes you get a flashing circle telling you how many emails you have now available to view in that account.
You can either read it through eprompter and reply back to any emails using eprompter. So there is no need to go every other time to the direct web site to view your new emails. Please note some sites force you to at least log in once in a while so that account remains active and other sites like Juno warn you that service will stop if you don't use there site but I still am getting emails.


My Bookmarks

Want access to all of my bookmarks.
Go to www.plasencia.Us and click on the top right hand side where you see Menu. Click on Must SEE and go down to the page where you see Remarks.
Click Remarks and this will take you to my public bookmarks.
You have access to all of my bookmarks that I have to date.

Free Magazines

Wow is this possible.
Yes it is.
Who doesn't want free magazines.
Try http://www.freebizmag.com/welcome.asp?FBMVisitId=2428509109
And sign up to get your free magazine subscriptions.


How it works:
The idea is that you sign up and later on you get these fabulous magazines and after the 1 year subscription is over you will subscribe to them and they have a new customer. But no one ever said that you have to subscribe to them. My concept is get as many free magazines as possible. Why not since there free. But free is not always free. You have to wait for these freebizmagazine news letters that you get and fill out a questionnaires and subscribe to them. So technically they are retrieving personal information from you. In turn you get the free magazine. But still it's an offer you can beat.
Recommended to me by a friend this site works and I've been getting magazines for over 5 years without subscribing. Enjoy and use it well.

Want To Post Pictures via your Camera Cell Phone

Try www.textamerica.com
I've tried the others but this one it still way ahead of the competition.
To sign up it's free and you can create as many picture blogs as you like.
You can also sign up for a paid subscription which lets you customize your picture blog web page.
But why do that when you can still have it for free.

I love the fact that I can send a video file from my phone, camera or computer to textamerica and store it for free. I have yet to pay for service that other providers charge.
