Get Rid of Those Stacks of Business Cards Forever

Does this look familiar?  You’ve been to an event which everyone brings their business card and the trading starts from the moment you walk in the door until the time you leave.  Now that you have this massive stack of business cards, what do you do with it?  If you’re like me, you throw a rubber band around them and toss them in a drawer.  Then, when it comes time to find that card for that guy that you met 2 months ago at that thing you were at, you spend more time then you want to admit sifting through stacks of business cards.

It’s time to put an end to this craziness.  How efficient can you be when your primary filing tool is a rubber band, right?  The CardScan® Card scanner accurately reads business cards and places the information in the correct fields of a digital address book. Drag and drop contact information from e-mails and websites directly into CardScan. Exports, imports and synchronizes with Outlook, ACT, Notes, Goldmine, Palm handhelds, Pocket PCs, Blackberry, and smart phones. Card scanner offers free online backup to keep your contacts safe. Access your contact anywhere from a browser.

I am getting one of these this week and will install it on my Mac and PC.  I am drowning in a sea of business cards and need to get myself organized.  I’ll let you know how it goes…

We are looking for your pictures!  Pictures of artistic and creative ways you have used school and office supplies.  We’ve created a Flickr.com group for the love of school and office supplies.  Have you created a bulletin board that you are especially proud of?  We want to see it!  Did you make a binder clip sculpture when you were supposed to be finishing up that power point presentation?  Show us!  Did you cover Dave’s cubical with Post-it® Notes while he was at lunch?  We love that kind of stuff!

We have posted a few examples of the type of pictures we are looking for.  Have fun, be creative, and show us your love of school and office supplies.

You come in to work Monday morning, fire up the computer, and there it is: the dreaded blue screen.  You instantly begin to sweat because you stayed late Friday to finish up that PowerPoint presentation that your boss is expecting you to bring to the sales presentation that starts in 20 minutes!

At that moment, what would it be worth to you if you had a backup of your data?  You never really realize what your data is worth to you until you lose it.  Don’t wait until it’s too late…BACK UP YOUR DATA!

Until September 30th, you can back up your data for less than 26¢ per day.  The Verbatim USB 2.0/Firewire 2.5″ Portable Hard Drive with 250GB Capacity is on sale until September 30th for $94.99.

Expand the storage capacity oVER96528f your laptop or desktop PC, with a sleek Verbatim Portable FireWire/USB Hard Drive. Whether you are on the go or at home, rest assured that your favorite music, photos, video and critical data are safe. Back up your MAC with Verbatim’s FireWire/USB portable hard drive which is fully compatible with the Leopard Time Machine feature.

I’ve been a PC for as long as I’ve been using a computer.  I use SyncToy by Microsoft® to synchronize the important data on my computer’s hard drive to my USB external hard drive.  This tool allows you to copy, move, or synchronize your data between two storage locations.  It’s very easy to use and to customize.  For more detailed information on SyncToy, go to Microsoft’s website.

That being said, I am going to be making the switch over to Mac very soon.  So, if anyone has any suggestions for an easy synchronizing tool to use on a Mac, they would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, now that I’ve talked about backing up your data on-site, it is also important to back up to a location that is off-site.  If you keep your computer and your backup in the same location, what if the unthinkable happens — there is a fire, a tornado, a hurricane, a flood, etc. — now what do you do?  Not only is your original data destroyed, but your only back-up is gone as well.  I use a great remote backup service called Carbonite.  It works with your PC or Mac, it securely backs up your data in the background, and best of all…you can try it for FREE!  You don’t need a credit card and there is no obligation.  I started using this product about 3 months ago, and I love it.  I see the little green lock in the bottom right-hand corner of my computer screen and I know that I’m backed up if something tragic happens.  Let me tell you, peace-of-mind is priceless.

Don’t take your data for granted.  Your hard drive is a mechanical part which will eventually fail.  When it will fail depends on use and age.  Don’t risk losing years of hard work and memories because “I don’t have time to back-up”.  There are many simple tools that you can use to back-up your data.  The time it will take you to set up these tools is a fraction of the time it would take you to recreate years of accumulated data!
