LibreOffice: Review

LibreOffice is an open-sourced software program that directly relates and compares to Microsoft Office. One of the biggest differences between the two comes in the price, or in LibreOffice's case the lack of a price. Yes, LibreOffice is free software and it rivals the giant Microsoft Office in the fact that it provides six component programs that take place of everyone that Microsoft has to offer. 

LibreOffice       Microsoft Office
Writer               Word
Calc                 Excel
Impress              PowerPoint
Draw                 Visio
Math                 ?Excel?
Databases            Access

I have used LibreOffice before to convert documents from Linux to Windows before and it has worked great. That is the only experience I have with the program but on the other hand I have boat loads of experience with Microsoft Office. It does seem like Libre does have a lot of capabilities similar to Microsoft Office, but sometimes it is worth paying for the full package. It really just compares on the job which could differ for each.

Cheers

Weebly: Review

Weebly: At first view of weebly I thought it was an educational site only. It wasn't until I clicked around that I noticed it had a publishing feature that was similar to a blog. I have picked this site to be the one I will make a post for this weeks assignment. I actually like the layout of the design page it is similar to a blog site or even a picture editing software. I found the features pretty interesting and the options surprised me by how many there actually were. I still am pretty confused how this site is related to education but I am sure that is a function I did not check out because I felt it was unnecessary for this weeks assignment. Overall I dug this site and I will continue to tool around and check out its features. Cheers, Michael Bridges UPDATE: Weebly wanted money to make a post, so I discovered how to do it on Wikidot and its pretty cool, I now take back everything I said on its review :).

Turned Out a Punk Podcast: Review

This podcast is cool because it digs deep into peoples lives who were brought up in the Punk music scene. The producer is in a band that is good so he has the inside scoop and the ability to get good quests. The podcast always starts the same way which takes listeners back in time to when the person first heard punk music or the genre all the way til present day. It is good and you will want more.
