Turn Your Cell Phone into a Portable Scanner
This is such a useful web site - qipit.com. So many times I have been at work doing the following simultaneously:
- looking at a white board covered with notes or diagrams
- attempting to quickly and neatly rewrite everything into my notebook
- swearing
Qipit is a web site that allows you to take a digital picture of white board information, notes, letters, instructions, brochures, and anything similar and send it to the site, which then converts the image to a PDF.

Ending the Wait of Customer Service Phone Calls
A couple of weeks ago, I wanted to change my ATT Wireless service plan. So I called them after I got home from work. As I waited and waited for an operator to answer the phone, the following things happened:
- Our giant inflateable pumpkin collapsed in our front yard, causing my husband to run out the door.
- My cell phone rang, causing me to stare at my ringing cell phone in frustration.
- My kids suddenly saw each other - not as boys - but as superhero and villain - ready and willing to take each other down - causing my youngest son to grab a bungee chord, swing it over his head, and yell "Indiana Jones!"
So after 20 minutes of waiting and witnessing insanity unfold in my house, I had to grudgingly hang up the phone to deal with these issues.
