It challenges not just your folding skills but also teaches you about aerodynamics. I remember a software called "The Greatest Paper Airplanes". It teaches how to fold 50 different paper airplanes step by step with instructions and videos. Too bad the software is no longer distributed but there's a website that teaches how to fold those 50 paper airplanes. I’m an origami fan and paper airplanes is one of my favorite forms of the art.

I did a of blogging for dummies over on one of the <b><a href="//thecommissionpayload.com/bonus”" rel="nofollow">CPA Marketing</a></b> forums and I believed it was too simple for them, but the quantity of emails I got asking questions just like what you addressed was unbelievable. As young people today we have grown up with computers, but it's easy to forget that even people just a a couple of years older have not! Really good post! :) What a excellent post!

You need more emails, IMs, and phone calls like you need another orifice in your cranium. Plus, these people who would swarm you like flies on poo will not perhaps care too much if you are over-extended. But, you are more than happy to share what you know with one or two others, after you’ve discerned that they won’t abuse you, won’t stab you in the back, won’t take credit for your intellectual capital, and will perhaps return the favor. The people who invest in creating a relationship with you are rewarded with your experienced point of view.” [...] [...] Gia Lyons has a great post on this “Because you are the one individual who knows this stuff, you are reluctant to advertise that fact, for fear of the avalanche of requests to collaborate.

Even though they have many "social networking" plug-ins (e.g. Bubbles), it is no match to LC. Lotus took its time, but has definitely produced a Enterprise 2.0 platform for Social Networking. I keep track of various E2.0 technologies, and LC is the most full-featured suite I have seen.
