I can now say that I have fully embraced cloud storage and so have you, even if you don’t realize it.  Email, ITunes, and even your Amazon.com Kindle books all live in the cloud.   They are all wonderful services, but they also bring an entirely new set of problems.  The companies that run those services spend a great deal of time and money keeping their services apart from the others.  Obviously that isn’t the best solution for someone who wants to seamlessly transition from file to file, meaning you should have your own solution.

In my opinion users should take it upon themselves to find an independent solution to keep their files.  By securing your own cloud storage so you will be able to have business documents, personal files and entertainment.  I took this step earlier this year and I couldn’t be happier.  Now I have the ability to access all of my stuff no matter where I am, as long as I have internet access.  I can also take solace in knowing my all of my files are safe because the provider I chose offers top notch security.  The best part is, although cost was secondary to quality on my list of priorities zipcloud is also affordable.  Now I am sure you will want to check out your own zipcloud reviews but here are some of the features they offer.

Here are some of the features zipcloud offers:

  • File Versioning
  • 24/7 Tech Support
  • Multiple Device Sync Capability
  • Moneyback Anytime

Assuming I can find a suitable category to submit this blog to I think it could be a great help.  So, the next time I get some free time I will definitely be doing further research on this subject.

I don’t really have a reason for it except that I have been doing it for years. I guess I am programmed to take it wherever I go, good job Steve Jobs. I first got turned onto MP3 players almost 10 years ago and since then I have always had one in one for or another.  It started with one that held like 20 songs (I forget what it was called), and now they hold thousands upon thousands of songs and can also play movies.  Sure my iPhone can also do all those things but it just wouldn’t be the same.

Thats when it hit me that I could buy a waterproof cell phone case. I know they make waterproof ipod cases that close tighter than ball lock pins but I’m not sure about iPhone cases.  While I am not planning on going snorkeling with my phone it would be nice to be able to take it out on a speed boat excursion without worrying about it getting ruined (I once ruined about two thousand dollars worth of camera equipment, on a speedboat).  I guess I should add that to my list of things to buy before my next cruise.  Now if I could only get reliable service in Dominica.

Be sure to sanitize any items that may come in contact with your face including your mobile phone. This is one of the most overlooked areas of personal hygiene, but a handy wipe a couple times of day can spare you a lot of embarassment the next time you have to meet an important client.
