Are you using an online file storage website for backups or sharing files?
There are a lot of options, from ADrive to ZDrive (and every letter drive in between I suspect). I've tried Streamload, Mozy, and a number of others I can't remember. Do a Google search for "free online storage" and you get 250,000+ results!
It was the number of others I can't remember that got me thinking...
It's hard to imagine, but there are still companies that don't have a website.
The effort/cost of getting one designed, frustrations with many web designers (or people/companies that claim to be web designers), the list goes on and on.
Microsites are also growing in popularity. These are dedicated, small websites for a specific product, project or purpose.
Oil Prices are going up. Airfares are going up too (some say faster than oil).

They wrote the Orbitz booking engine.
This site is where they try new ideas. You know it’s unbiased since they don’t sell any tickets, just display the fares.
Check out their help pages. They have a “route language” that lets you specify all sorts of things (like connecting through a certain city on a certain airline).

If you have your email address on your website, I suspect you are getting a lot more spam (junk email) than you used to.
It's a result of email address harvesting.
Do a Google search for "email harvesting software" and you get 4,040 results (forget the quotes and you get hundreds of thousands).
It's been a month since I re-installed everything in my office. When I did that, I connected the data port of the Uninterruptible Power Supply to Desktop 3. A pop-up in my system tray this morning reminded me how important having a UPS is:

100 million hard drives fail every year. I’ve had my share, including one last Christmas eve.
When was the last time you backed up your notebook? Your home desktop? Your work PC?
500 gigabyte external USB drives are selling for $99 to $129 on sale. That’s enough to back up a notebook and most people’s desktop(s).
