I’ve been blogging from email for some time, but this particular app seemed quite well timed for me, especially since I have had so many problems getting that to work lately.
Software blog Download Squad gives the scoop on BlogMailr, a free tool that lets you add posts to your blog just by sending e-mails.
Glory be to Lifehacker! We love you, Gina.
Incidentally, the link to the BlogMailr is right here. Yippie!
I’d also like to add that you should expand your mind and listen to Littlefeat. I am doing that right now.
Update: The first time I posted this today failed. What timing. In other words, you need this app.
Update x2: The second time that I’ve posted this today failed. Arrgh.

Seriously, I’m so sorry that I forgot to mention this particular bit of info.
Want Open Source?
We post scads of
free downloads here on Lifehacker, but today instead of pimping yet another Google product, I’d like to tip my hat to the open source developers who release innovative, useful products that make our lives that much easier every day - because it’s our right, not privilege, to control our own data.
Open source roots are in the Unix operating system, but these days many "free as in speech" applications are available for Windows as well - and today I’ve got a list of my top 10 favorites.
None of these cost a dime to download and use, but do donate whatever and whenever you can to the projects that benefit you the most.
You know that’s got to be
Lifehacker. Sigh. I would devote some quality time reading that article, if I were you.
Really, I should do a plug to another
long-forgotten post that I made about subjects similiar to this right here in POW - the blog.
But I won’t.
See what I did there?

I found this yesterday, but figured I’d save for a rainy day.
Although outside it’s HOT, here it is:
Emurse.
Emurse has got to be one of the most useful sites I’ve come across lately. Not only can you create a resume using their handy dandy template tool, but Emurse also allows you to download your resume from anywhere AND gives you the choice to instantly turn your resume into a web site so employers can find you.
How found?
Lifehacker, kiddies. I can’t express the love enough.
I’ve yet to use the service, but it suuuuuure looks interesting. Lots of feedback as well. I say check it out. Template? Download anywhere? WEBSITE? Yeah, baby. Not to mention a mess of things I haven’t mentioned yet.

Again, it’s my personal responsibility to keep you, the reader, in the mix of all things geek.
With that in mind, I bring you (should pop to the download page, unless my html is that bad):
Try try. Likey likey. Free free.
Other good things, from their
website:
OpenOffice.org Version 1 was the first product to deliver the benefits of open-source software to mass-market users, delivering essential everyday software tools completely free of charge. Translated into over 30 languages, available on all major computing platforms (Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X X11, GNU/Linux, Solaris), OpenOffice.org Version 1 is now in use by tens of millions of delighted users worldwide.
With Version 2, it gets even better:
- the first office suite to use the new OASIS OpenDocument format, the future-proof international standard for office software
- easier to install, with a whole new look and feel, matched to the type of computer in use
- more intuitive, more easy to use than ever, with a host of new usability features
- introducing a major new component, Base: an easy-to-use database manager with a fully integrated database
- more compatible with other software packages – now understands even obscure and rarely used features in major competitors
But the licence is still the same: you may download OpenOffice.org Version 2 completely free of any licence fees, use it for any purpose– private, educational, government and public administration, commercial – and pass on copies free of charge to family, friends, students, employees, etc.
How can you pass that up?
As soon as I get my freakin’ computer fixed, I’m downloading. I think that either old Betsy is about to either break completely or I need a new video card and some freakin’ RAM.
