Today was a rainy day here on the beach, and Team Pointer went to the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum and the 4D Movie Ride attraction. And lucky for you, I was in line for the 12 minute movie/ride thingy for an hour and a half and was able to find some interesting tech links for you that you might find helpful in your genealogy and family history pursuits.

So here they are...

  • iPad Productivity: How to get efficient with your iPad, Evernote and GTD - an eBook Review by Daniel Gold at dangoldesq.com ~ Yes, an e-book review, but? It's a great review on a book that could really get you organized and productive. I mean, with the combination of an iPad, Evernote and GTD, where could you go wrong?
  • 3 Productivity Benefits in the Microsoft OneNote 2013 Preview by Will Kelly on lifehack.com ~ Okay. I *love* OneNote. Adore it. And to say that I'm frothing at the mouth waiting for the latest MS Office and most especially, OneNote 2013, is an understatement. And in his post, Will, gives us a tasty preview of what to expect from it productivity-wise. Can you say better tables?
  • 10 Reasons Working From Home Might Not Be For You by Lindsay Olson on money.usanews.com ~ Thinking about transitioning into a professional genealogist or starting a genealogy-related business where you'll be working from home? Check this post out to see if you suit the working environment. 
  • Tips For Restoring From iCloud Backups by Thomas on isource.com ~ Needing to restore from an iCloud backup? Or? Be prepared for when you do by reading this blog post of great tips to get the job done.
  • Burner App Essentially Turns your iPhone into a Multi-line Disposable Phone by Andrew Grush on mobilemag.com ~ Needing to list your mobile phone number online, but don't really want to give it out? With the Burner app for the iPhone, you can create and use temporary numbers. {What will they think of next, right?}
  • A Tiny Keychain Tripod You’ll Always Have On Hand by Andrew Liszewski on gizmodo.com ~ This little gadget is handy dandy if you need to stabilize your iPhone4 when taking pics at the library or archives. And? It's cute as a button. {Which I'm sure that's just what you're worried about at the library or archives. Looking cute as a button.} Probably not going to be the perfect solution, but how many of you carry your iPhone tripod with you on your keychain? {That's what I thought.}
  • Pulse news reader launches for the web by Gene Ryan Briones on ubergizmo.com ~ Okay. I'm excited about this. The Pulse news reader is one of the apps I use to stay on top of all the news on my iPhone and my Nook Tablet, and I've been waiting patiently for the web version, and TA-DA! It's here. Finally. I've already played with it, and they have this short but nifty video about it. Go ahead. Take a look:
  • YouTube Video Editor Enhancements Just Got Faster, Easier & More Powerful by Megan O'neill on socialtimes.com ~ Y'all are making videos, right? No? Well, do you have a YouTube channel yet? If not get one. And then start making some videos. It's easy and fun. And? Many folks would rather watch a quick video than read a bunch of words. {Scandalous, I know, but true.} Break your routine and make a quick video. Your blog readers will thank you. And? If you blog for a genealogical society or have genealogy-related business, then you *need* to be on YouTube, like yesterday. Seriously. Anywho, here are some video editor enhancements YouTube has made. Haven't had a chance to try them out, but you can bet I will. Soon. {Subscribe to the 4yourfamilystory YouTube channel.}
  • Any.DO: Make Things Happen by Justin Stavarius on iphone.appstorm.net ~ Like Justin, this blog post author, I'm addicted to productivity apps. My Productivity Folder on my iPhone is, um, full. I dunno if I'm any more productive than if I didn't have them at all, but I like having them and using them. And Any.Do looks very, um, habit-forming. Check it out! And become productive. Or become a productivity app hoarder like me. ;)


Okay. That's it for today. Look for another Gen-Tech Link post tomorrow afternoon and another one in the Genea-Tech Newsletter this weekend. Now? Back to my vacay. =)
