Halloween Dance

This past Monday, October the 25th, Snead State Community College had a Halloween Dance. The dance began around 8:00pm and ended at 11:00. Around 10:00, they began a costume contest.

The first place winners in the costume contest were dressed as the group KISS. They received a trophy, a copy of Halo 3: ODST, and a gift certificate.

The second place winners were dressed as Aladdin and Jasmine from the Disney's Aladdin. They received a copy of Halo 3: ODST.

The third place winners were dressed as the girls from Risky Business. They received a movie.

Both copies of Halo 3: ODST were donated courtesy of Microsoft. Stay tuned for future events where I will be giving away free Microsoft products.

Docs.com

Hey everyone,

I'm sure you've heard about it at one point or another. If not, well then here's your chance! Microsoft has developed a website where you can create and edit Office documents straight from the webpage. This is great if your on the go and only have access to a public computer. Check it out just got to docs.com

Docs.com was designed to work with Facebook. Just sign into Docs.com using your Facebook account information and you can set the document so that it appears in your Facebook Profile Stream or on your friend's feed on their Facebook home page. Not only can they view the document but you can also set it up so that they can edit the document. Have a list of favorite restaurants around the city? Then upload it to Docs.com and let your friends view and edit the document so they can add theirs too!

Docs.com is a great web application that is sure to be loved by people of all ages. I know I'll be using it a lot on campus!!

I will have an opportunity to test some Microsoft products and will be letting you know first hand my opinions on the pros and cons of each product.
