Random Updates: Megen Uses Docs, Vanity Searches, and New Toys

Google Docs Saves The Day

Megen’s been using Google Docs for doing a lot of her work for Medical School.  They aren’t allowed to save to the computers at school so using Google Docs lets her work from any computer and continue working at home.  There were some small issues with formatting but other than that it sounds like it worked really well for her.

The Ben Golub

I now have the number one search for Ben Golub (but not “Ben Golub”).  I used to be the Benjamin Golub but now I’m also the Ben Golub.  This is pretty big news because Plaxo’s CEO is also a Ben Golub.

Another Ben Golub was hired at my company recently and I’ve been getting all of his meeting invites and emails (including one asking me to record my hours in order to get paid; super confusing and scary because I’m on salary).  Lame.

New Toys

I purchased a 50mm 1.8 and a DK-21M today.  This cheap ($115 for the lens and $30 for the eyepiece) combination will open up a whole new realm of photography for me: low light and narrow DOF.  The 50mm will be manual focus only on my D40 but the DK-21M will help by magnifying and brightening the viewfinder.  I’ll write more about these when I get a chance to use them.
