On My iPhone/Android: IMDB - The Internet Movie Database

IMDB (Internet Movie Database)

It is a rare occasion when I am watching television or movies and DON’T end up referring to IMDB at some point. “Where have we seen that actor before? Was this produced before or after that other movie? Who write this and what else have they written?” I have IMDB on every device I own from iPhones to iPads to Kindles…whatever so I it is always at hand when I need it. This is a great app for everyone who wants television, movie and even video game info at hand whenever and wherever they are watching.

Along with the busy schedules of two working parents you might have art classes, karate classes, Little League, soccer and more.

One feature I really like in Google Docs is the easy, online file sharing that also allows you to edit simultaneously with someone else. Today, Google Docs added some templates including business cards, brochures and more. At the moment, it looks like they are rolling out this feature over time, so you might not yet see the templates on your account. When available, you will find the templates under the New... menu item. From Open Loops ... Today, Google quietly rolled out a new feature for their Google Docs Applications: Templates! It's so new that it isn't even listed on the new features page at this time. When one opens their Google Docs account and chooses to start a new document, a new "From Template..." command is pre...
