Just head on over to the Alexa Skills page and take a look at what's available. Here's just a few that I've found interesting. (The usefulness of any of these may be up for debate...)

    July 1st, 2017  |   Michael Sauers, Technology Manager

    When you check out a Chromebook at Do Space, we generally recommend that members log in as "guest" as that's the quickest way to get up and running. But, if you're a regular Google Chrome user at home or work, and would like to use your bookmarks, extensions, and other customizations while at Do Space, just log in to your account on our Chromebooks.

I love hearing a member describe the project their working on, sharing their idea, and even sharing their...

    Tuesday Tech Tip: Put a file in more than one Google Drive folder (without making a copy!)

    June 24th, 2017  |   Michael Sauers, Technology Manager

For example, I want to be able to find that statistics spreadsheet about 3D lab useage in both my 3D Lab folder and in my Stats folder. But if I made a copy for each folder, then if I updated one, the other would...
