Online Productivity Tools

I've briefly tried out Google's Calendar and I'm sure it's fine, but I far prefer paper. Not only am I tired of giving out my personal information to so many different sites (even though I already have a Google account through Blogger, they still wanted a bit more personal info for the Calendar application and I don't appreciate that or see why it's necessary), but I've used paper daytimers for years, I like writing everything by hand and I find the online calendar to be too big and clunky. Also, since I don't have a cell phone or whathaveyou, I wouldn't be able to access the Calendar while I was on the go and away from a computer. (I know there's environmental downsides to using a lot of paper just as there are for keeping electronic devices on all the time to check your email/calendar/facebook/etc but paper feels more natural. And I'd rather use machines less often.) But the good thing is that at least once you are logged onto Google through Blogger or Gmail or whatever other way they have of dominating the internets and have given them another tiny piece of yourself, you can use the Calendar too. If you want to.

I might be more inclined to use Google Documents, but since I already have (admittedly outdated) Microsoft Word on my laptop and don't use it that often at this point, I'm not interested in it right now, but maybe later I'll check it out. It's good to know it's available if I need it and that I could backup my documents online, especially if my laptop goes down again!
