Want To Sync Your Cloud Services?

Things like Evenote, Dropbox, Google Drive, Sugar Sync?
Maybe it's my geekery, but I love cloud computing. I've been hooked on Evernote for years now, and Dropbox has a special place in my nerd-love cubby.
I don't have a lot in Google Drive at this point, but that would be my anti-establishmentarian side, not wanting "all my eggs in one basket"... Google is so ubiquitous it's a bit Orwellian.
But that's another topic.
One thing I'm learning, partly from experience, and partly from sources like David Allen's GTD and my new hero Power of Moms, which took the GTD system and made it pertinent to moms, is to consolidate all my "stuff" into ONE inbox or bucket, rather than have it all over the place, and have to waste time and energy trying to figure out where I put that important thing I need!
So, I've got some stuff in Evernote, some stuff in Google Drive, some stuff in Dropbox... and I've been really stressing over which to use as my main bucket, and the easiest, most efficient way to migrate everything into it without losing things or wasting ALL my time that I've redeemed through these great methods I'm learning!

Of Hard Drives and Emotional Responses

Oh Joy. Delight. Rapture.
Not really, but I *am* pleased :0)
My hard drive in my cute little netbook that my sweet, generous husband bought for me has a bad sector, and about a month or so ago I (unhappily) discovered it.  I've learned the lesson in the past to be a "backer-upper", and am usually pretty good about backing things up. I'm even moving toward having *two* backups of everything, in case one of my external drives fails.
But, wouldn't you know,

Call me a goober, but (fixed, I hope)

This is just COOL!!!!
Copied from the news:
Antimatter, an elusive type of matter that's rare in the universe, has now been trapped for more than 16 minutes — an eternity in particle physics.
In fact, scientists who've been trapping antihydrogen atoms at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva say isolating the exotic particles has become so routine that they expect to soon begin experiments on this rare substance.
Antimatter is like a mirror image of matter. For every matter particle (a hydrogen atom, for example), a matching antimatter particle is thought to exist (in this case, an antihydrogen atom) with the same mass, but the opposite charge.
