Just about everyone uses Gmail for their email today. Gmail continues to add new features to keep existing users happy and attract new users. One of the latest features is Gmail offline – and these applications make it easy to use Gmail offline.
GeeMail is an Adobe Air application that can work online and offline to provide Gmail to you where ever you may be. It also works on Windows, Mac and Linux. The keyboard shortcuts of Gmail work in GeeMail and the interface is the classic blue and white Gmail interface. Currently, there’s no support for search, but GeeMail does perform the basic functions of email.
TinyWebRadio is a small, portable music player for your USB drive, so you can enjoy hearing your favorite internet stations at work or where ever you may be.
The developer considers the program to be pretty self-explanatory, but I do think it is worth mentioning that the software is free, it is easy to use, and there are only really two directions:
- Right-click on a station in the preset-list to add it to the favorites
- Right-click on the filelist in “My Recordings” to bring up a menu
Add TinyWebRadio to your USB drive and enjoy web radio at work!

I mail out roughly 300 letters a month, and it is easier to use printable labels than to hand-write my return address on each envelope.
WorldLabel.com’s printable auto-fill-in .pdf labels are perfect for doing this job – and I can use the file over and over again, or personalize to meet my needs, like when I changed my return address to my street address versus my Post Office box.
While the website says you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader, but I did have some success using Foxit Reader.
4 types of Auto Fill “Basic Formatting” templates for labels and business cards are available:
