Mac: WhoPaste for the iPhone

WhoPaste is now available on the iPhone.
There are 2 different versions and both of them are available now in the iTunes App Store.

– WhoPaste works with the Contacts app on the iPhone (this syncs with Address Book or Outlook)
– WhoP-G works with Google Contacts.

Either of these can be used in conjunction with Dragon Dictation allowing you to capture new contact information by just SPEAKING!!

Here’s how it works:
Start the Dragon app
Tap ‘Record’
Say: “John Smith john s at gmail dot com 754 555 2345”
Tap ‘Done’
Tap ‘Send to Clipboard’
Start either WhoPaste or WhoP-G
Tap ‘Save’ -> a contact is created in either the Contacts app or in Google Contacts
It’s really pretty slick!!

Both of these iPhone apps also works just like WhoPaste on the desktop.
You can ‘copy’ any text from an email, or web page or whatever – and then launch the WhoPaste app that’s right for you.

In fact the desktop and the iPhone products share the same code base.
So usage reports from iPhone users will benefit the desktop version and vice versa.

SBLS: Pro Se Answer for Mortgage Foreclosure

South Brooklyn Legal Services: How to Answer a Foreclosure Complaint “Pro Se” (without an Attorney)

If you have received a Foreclosure Summons and Complaint, you have the right to serve and file an Answer to the Complaint pro se, which means without an attorney. This will guarantee that you receive notice of all future actions in the court case, and may help preserve your legal rights. If you don’t file an Answer, the judge will enter a “default” judgment against you and you could lose the right to raise any defenses to the foreclosure. You also may not receive notices from the court about what’s going on with your house and it could be sold without your knowing about it. The guide is designed to help you file an Answer. This should not replace finding a non-profit foreclosure prevention attorney or housing counselor to assist you. In New York City, dial 311 and ask for a referral to free foreclosure prevention services.

5 Free Online Services to Send an Email to a Fax Machine

5 free services that let you send an email to a fax machine, but the three most common are in this first batch. The following three services are about as simple as they can get. Without any registration of any kind, you can simply visit the website, upload the file that you want to fax, type in the fax number and fire it off. The service simply faxes your document to the recipient you entered. Sound to good to be true? Well, it’s not. It is paid for by ad revenue on both the website and by placing ads on the cover page of your fax as well.
