You want to send a file to a friend. They have Dropbox. You have Dropbox. Cool, right?
Dropbox is not entirely well named, because unfortunately, you can't easily "drop" something on someone else's Dropbox.
Instead, you have to upload the file to your Dropbox, give your friend the URL, await confirmation that your friend got it, and then delete it from your Dropbox.
Why not allow me to set aside 200 MB or 2 GB or whatever size I want to act as an actual "dropbox" for people to share files with me (or for me to share with them)?
There aren't even any real good solutions to allow this. Search for "uploading to a friend's Dropbox" or "allow uploads to my Dropbox" and the best you'll get are some third-party hacks (and some cost money).
Lame. C'mon, Dropbox. You can do this…

Still waiting…. My name is Erik. My wife's name is Carey.
I don't even have a "Carrie" in my phone's contacts, yet… that's how Siri insists on spelling it.
So much for the "contextual" suggestions and autocorrections. I can't remember the last time I wanted to type "Erik" or "Carrie."

Pepsi still sucks though. 🙂 Haven't had one in well over a decade now…

Kettlebell - Simple & Sinister eBook: Pavel Tsatsouline on Kindle.
Since I rarely find the time to run anymore (or frankly the motivation), this could be a handy way to go about doing a bit more than I manage to do now.
My Rogue Kettlebells arrived yesterday. I think they'll be warm by Monday. 🙂

I was tempted to build my own omelette with Grilled diced ham, smoked bacon, and American cheese. $8.79 right?
Or I could just order the Smoked Bacon & Ham Omelette for $0.50 more…
😛

Lowest Score Wins. Pick up your copy today.
Of course, Analyzr, 5SK®, Golf Evolution, The Sand Trap, and others continue to do well.
My family is happy and healthy. The kiddo needs a minor attitude adjustment, but overall, I wouldn't trade her for anyone. Most days. 🙂
Here's to good things in 2015.

I've followed Mike's advice here: Beginning Kettle Bell Workouts?. I spent some money on some kettle bells and got this book (on Kindle).
I'm hopeful that I can squeeze this in while I watch Penguins games or whatever. Running has not happened in a loooooong time. If it's not the time, it's the weather, or something else.

A table tennis player (he won the Erie Table Tennis tournament last year, I guess) has a DVD out: Products | Samson Dubina Table Tennis Academy. It's called "International Table Tennis Skills DVD." It's… okay.
He lives in Akron, OH.
I'm playing when I can Thursdays and Saturdays at Erie Table Tennis Club. It's just in the MIHS gym.
P.S. I also borrowed the older "Steps to Success - Table Tennis" book from the library. Supposedly an update is coming out in 2015.

There seem to be only two: OOAK Table Tennis Forum and Alex Table Tennis - MyTableTennis.NET Forum (the home page of which doesn't even look like a forum).
