Flash mob

Sunday I volunteered for the Portland Marathon: I charged up my ham radio and ran communications for one of the runners' aid stations. The station that I was, uh, stationed at was 21.5 miles into the race - so some of the runners were looking rather haggard when we saw them (the full race is 26 miles.) I had to call a couple of ambulances for runners who had become exhausted or dehydrated, and arrange for pick-ups for other runners who just couldn't go any farther. The most exciting part of the day was hunting for a 7-year-old who had lost his family.

In other news, my book is almost ready! The manuscript is currently being laid out and the cover is being designed. If all goes well *fingers crossed* it will be out by the end of this month! The title is "Terrible Nerd" - it's a memoir about growing up in the 1970s and '80s amidst a technology revolution. I'll let you know as soon as it's available.

This week I'm highlighting a bunch of new additions to www.PrintableFlashcards.net. And this is the season for adding lots of new holiday-themed printables and there are now 28 new page borders for Halloween and Thanksgiving at www.PageBorders.net.

Printable Flash Cards

I have FreePrintable.net users to thank for this: dozens of new free printable flash cards at PrintableFlashCards.net. They're awesome! I never would have thought of most of this stuff, and it's great.

The new flash cards are all organized by category and include: Greek gods, the endocrine system, Navy terminology, astronomy, time conversions, legal cases by year, medical prefixes, Spanish food words, Braille, addition and subtraction facts, semaphore flags, rental and property law vocabulary, types of teeth, and Albert Einstein facts. That's just a few of the new additions.

Visit PrintableFlashCards.net anytime and feel free to use the cards that are already there, or create your own using the flash card maker. Just fill out the questions and answers, click, download, and print your set of cards. Choose from four or six cards per page. Yours might get chosen to share on the website.

There are now 148 sets to choose from at PrintableFlashCards.net, and that's not counting the infinite number you can create yourself. And if you love flash cards, I bet you'll like http://FreeWordSearch.net and www.TeachersPrintables.net.

Holiday Page Borders

As you may have noticed, I start adding stuff to existing sites like crazy during the fall and winter holidays. PageBorders.net is no exception. I've just added nearly 30 new page borders for Halloween and Thanksgiving.

These borders are perfect for writing holiday-themed letters (just use them as stationery), or they can serve as a background for flyers or signs announcing Halloween parties, Thanksgiving potlucks, office celebrations, and so on. You can even stick a photo in the middle of a border page and use it as a picture frame - it's up to you!

The new designs include: Oktoberfest, bats, skulls, a graveyard, haunted house, pumpkins, spiders, pilgrims, turkeys, and many more. Most are full-color; two are black-and-white.

All of the page borders have several free and premium options. For free, you can download as many borders as you'd like in DOC (Microsoft Word), PDF, PNG, or JPG format. Or, if you'd like an original AI format page border that you can alter and edit yourself in Adobe Illustration, that option is available for some designs (including the new holiday borders) for $7 each.

There are more holiday printables and tons more to come. I need your ideas, so please email me with what you'd like to see next. Happy printing!

Thanks so much to all of you who wrote to congratulate myself, my wife, and our friend Tina on our triathlon attempt! Betty M. wrote: "Congratulations on your participation in the Portland Triathlon. You three should feel very proud. I have never responded to your notes, but I would like you to know that I enjoy reading them and feel as though I know you and your family! Thanks for all the free printable forms you provide so regularly and efficiently. Being retired, I don't have much need for the business forms but the calendars, maps, flyers, etc., are incredibly useful and fun to view. You do think of every possible aspect of whatever the print subject may be! I am continually impressed."
