Printing to a PDF

PDFs are so much more universal than sending a DOC file.  Install this free PDF printer and then 'print' to a PDF.  You can then send PDF files to others rather than word doc files.

Spontaneous joy

You have got to love the spontaneous outburst of joy.  I love the encourage of being part of something big and unique.

Living in a storage shed - Dan Update

Dan update - they are now in San Francisco

It has been our prayer that it would be real clear to Dan, Micah and Tim that God was involved in providing for their needs.  Well yesterday they met face to face with one of God's provisions. 

The guys met a guy yesterday who works on vintage motorcycles and after spending the afternoon with him he offered to let them stay in his portable storage shed until they find a place.  Dan was very excited about this guy.  Dan loves old bikes and talked for hours with this guy.  Definitely God's provision for them.  Sounds like they love their cozy little home in fact Dan would be fine just living in this shed (think mobile storage POD or moving storage containers they put on ships) but it was only a temporary offer.  They spent the day hunting for apartments and looking into job possibilities.  They are going back to look at a place in China town tomorrow.

When you see a portable storage shed think of Dan happily sleeping in it ... it'll make you smile :)

New favorite storage application - Dropbox

I have recently set up a http://www.dropbox.com account which configures some virtual storage that I can use to transfer files between computers or friend.  We are looking at using it for sharing files in our local Toastmasters club.  The free version gives you 2 gig of storage and you can purchase more storage if needed.  I believe that Google owns Dropbox so look for more integration with Google in the future.
