Well Cyber Monday is here and many of us are back at work, reluctantly. For most of you, it was one of the few 4 day weekends that you get to enjoy and you probably spent it in one of a few ways. You shopped, ate, decorated or just rested. No matter how you chose to spend the extra time off, you no doubt enjoyed the break from the norm and have now been thrust back into the “real world.” Luckily, that doesn’t mean that you can’t continue to enjoy some of the holiday spirit and fun. Today, we bring you some digital treats to get you ready for the rest of the holiday season.
You decorated your house, your apartment and maybe even got a tree up in the living room, but what about your office? Just because you are at work doesn’t mean that you can’t continue to enjoy the holiday season. Here are a few creative ways to liven up your workspace using your PC or laptop:

An email account is like a phone number. Once you get it and use it for a while, you don’t want to switch. If you did, you would have to contact everyone and notify them of the change, you would have to edit your login information on who-knows how many sites and it would probably take months to straighten out.

You find a web page with valuable information, you go to print and BAM!, you get a 7 page document with ads, blank pages and all sorts of gibberish. You just want a small segment of that information, but it is still easiest to just push print and weed out the pages you need. In the process you waste paper, ink/toner, time and you aren’t exactly doing the environment any favors.
Several weeks ago, before the release of Windows 7, we wrote about backing up your important files. Backups are something that I myself have tried to tackle a few times now, unsuccessfully. I am not quite sure where the roadblock is, but I know what needs to be done. I need to make a copy of my important files, in case my computer and/or hard drive crashes. Unfortunately, I am not alone. Almost no one I talk to has ever done a backup of their system or has even thought about doing so.
Today, we are surrounded by technology. Some embrace it, some detest it, but all will come in contact with it at some point. Whether it is at work, school or home, you will eventually use some form of computer and at that point, one thing is certain… You will have to create and remember a password.
