My First Success Story

So it looks like this cloud computing experiment is working for me so far. Case in point: I'm sitting at the car dealership right now blogging from the free e-mail computer they have setup for people who are waiting on their car repairs. I brought a book just in case I got bored, but instead have spent the past hour and a half checking e-mails and grading discussion board postings for my online class. I can't work on my syllabus for the calculus class as I was planning on doing today. Although I could be if I would just get off my butt and convert everything over to Google docs. This just goes to prove that you don't need to own or invest any money in a computer nowadays to be productive. Of course I'm lucky in that this computer isn't all that locked down, security-wise. It's using a generic login that has no password (as I just found out by accidentally locking the station). There aren't any restrictions on downloading files to the hard drive (as I discovered by having to download, then e-mail a syllabud to the dept). I haven't hit any blocks or restrictions to my browsing locations. It's equally open to gmail, hotmail, blogger (obviously), as it is to my school website. Either way I'm chalking this one into the win column.
