This article describes how you can enjoy the collaborative advantages of the Online Google Calendar on your iPhone, BlackBerry, Palm or smartphone, but still have a printed calendar for your refrigerator, bulletin board, or back door.
Before we started using Google Calendar, we used the large desktop calendars that you can buy from Staples or other office supply stores. In our family, each of us typically update our calendar events from the Google Calendar website or from our smart phones; but, we still find it convenient to have a printed calendar on our door to the garage. Although it’s good to have a family-synchronized calendar on each of our phones, it sometimes helps to be able to look at the paper calendar on the way out just to get a quick view of the next few days. Also, we can select individual components of our calendars and print a unique version of our combined calendar for my mother to post on her refrigerator (since she doesn’t use the Google Calendar online).
So, read on to see how to print a poster-sized Google Calendar.

Dear ChuckEgg: What is a MiFi mobile router hotspot?
The MiFi is very small, slim router that turns a 3G wireless phone signal into a 40 foot diameter Wi-Fi hotspot that can be shared by up to 5 computers or WiFi compatible devices. You can use a MiFi mobile router to create a password-protected wireless hotspot for your computer, iPad, iPod Touch, personal media player, or any other WiFi compatible device. You can use the MiFi to create a hotspot, or you can tether the MiFi to a single computer using a USB cable.
The MiFi 2200 mobile router has been available from Verizon and Sprint for some time, but Virgin Mobile is the first to offer the MiFi with no monthly contract and nationwide pay-as-you-go Internet for only $1 per day, with no monthly service contract (you’ll pay $10 for 10 days).

For a continuously powered WiFi hotspot, you can connect the MiFi mobile router to an electrical outlet or to your computer’s USB port.
