Remember when you were young and you went to school? Yes? You have to carry tons of textbooks and so on. Well, this is a site for you to dump all those "useless" textbooks. It is also a good source for students to "rent" textbooks for a semester. They ship the textbook to you (you pay a fee but at a discount) and you return it after you are done with it. Textbooks are expensive and there is really no need to "waste paper". They offer digital versions as well. Yes, exactly! Just like those online video rentals. Rent, return and forget about it. I love education.

If you are a "writer" or a "blogger" like me and you have to keep to a tight schedule, it is sometimes good to have someone else do some proof-reading for you. If you don't have any body to do that for you, it might be wise to have some software to help you in this regards. Well, meet "After The Deadline". It is pretty cool to use. Helps you correct spelling and uses something called "artificial intelligence" to check grammar and even style. It even has this option to check for complex phrases, jargon, double negatives, diacritic marks and so on. I am rather impressed with this little software. And it is free! It can be used with some browsers like Firefox and Chrome and even blog scripts. Hopefully we will see "After The Deadline" support more browsers.
