OpenOffice 2.0 with extras, how cool is that? This version listed with some other languages, adds templates and clip art and several fonts all integrated into the application. The premium tag should not scare you off (especially if you are cheap like me) , like any other OpenOffice version�this one is free!!
 

Google has added the capability to download out of print books in pdf format. This is not a new idea, the Gutenberg Project has had this feature for sometime but with Google now on board I expect to see this taken to the next level. The picture you see will take you to Dante�s Inferno! Enjoy reading about all the great levels of hell, I hear the 9th is a real doozy!

If you really want your own alarm clock that will play any music you tell it to...here it its. I am thinking of teachers switching classes, this could play a short song or sound to let you know that it is time to wrap up. Works great with MP3 files.  

Microsoft takes a big leap into the blogger world with this new application. There are other apps that do the same thing but this is a good WYSIWIG editor for your blogs. It will tie into WordPress and other popular blogs and let you create you stuff on your computer then push it to the site. I am excited to see what some serious geeks do with the API which they released at the same time�.
 

New blogger software from Google. It looks like Google Pages in the setup and also is now being tied to your Google account. I hope they let you bring in some of the cool widgets from Google pages!  

Neat idea, lets you upload your pictures (2gb) and sync them with other computers or handhelds. Just in beta, looking at allowing users to upload all types of files too. Check this out!

OpenOffice 2.0

Open Office is by far my favorite free office application. I have posted links to several online Office alternatives, but this is the current best alternative to purchasing licensing from Microsoft.
