I work from home. Also, here:
He steals the lap, so I put my laptop on the arm of the chair so as not to disturb his slumber.
And here:
Over the Pacific Northwest, thanks to Alaska Airlines’ wifi.
And here:
The high school parking lot, waiting for track practice to end.
And here:
In a conference room at the Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, WA, for the #Win8OfficeVisit.
It’s all made possible by this:
It puts my office — Word, OneNote, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook in the cloud — so I can access it from anywhere.
I use this like a reporter’s notebook, only much neater (plus I never lose it under my car seat.)
I have OneNote notebooks for each article, book, and idea I’m working on. I can add pages, clip links, post thoughts all in one organized place.
I keep all my files here, so that I can pull down an article I’m working on and edit it while waiting for track practice to end.
I put my files here so I don’t have to mess with remembering to load files on flash drives (which I tend to lose anyhow).
And I search here. Really. Test it against Google for yourself at BingitOn.com.
Next time, Bing it. You’ll be glad you did.
I’ve been working this way for quite some time, so when Microsoft invited me to Seattle to check out their latest tech goodies, I was more than happy to join them at #Win8OfficeVisit, where I put on four pounds in three days, met a bunch of wonderfully savvy bloggers, toured the Microsoft Envisioning Center, and rode on the Seattle Duck Tour. Quack, quack!
And these:
I am about to gain two pounds right there.
Plus a grande latte from the original Starbucks.
Where they make Plants vs. Zombies and Bejeweled. They have Nerf guns. Felt like home.
We learned how to make mojitos at AllRecepies.com. I was much better at that than at rolling dough.
I refused to quack.
I was not paid to write this post, though Microsoft has hired me before. My love for all things Office is no secret, which is why I love working with them, nor is my penchant for croissants, mojitos, and Duck Tours.
Loved what you shared about OneNote at the event – it really clicked with me in a way that I could start using it. Even better was hanging out with you – you rock!!!
