Ask Unclutterer: Should my family have more than one computer?

Reader Angela submitted the following to Ask Unclutterer:

I work from home with one laptop (a MacBook), which is all I need â€” until my two children (10 and 15) come home! Then, itâ€™s a fight over who needs the computer. I am usually finished with work, but I may want to surf and check my email. The kids claim to have homework, but I seriously doubt their teachers are assigning videos from YouTube! Anyway, my question for you and the Unclutterer readers is, â€œHow many computers do you think are normal for a family of three?â€ I am trying to buy less and save more, but I really want another ...

*East Coast*
*Karenia brevis*, the Florida red tide organism, was not detected in water
samples collected this week in the Indian River Lagoon (Volusia and Brevard
counties).

*Northwest Coast*
*Karenia brevis*, the Florida red tide organism, was not detected in water
samples collected this week alongshore of Escambia County or offshore of
Escambia and Walton counties. Additional samples collected late last week
offshore of Franklin County also contained no *K. brevis*.

*Southwest Coast*
*Karenia brevis*, the Florida red tide organism, was not detected in water
samples collected this week alongshore of Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee,
Charlotte, Lee and Collier counties or offshore of the Florida Keys (Monroe
County). One sample (out of 24 total samples) collected alongshore of
Sarasota County contained background concentrations of *K. brevis*.

Please note: The FWRI's Harmful Algae Bloom (HAB) group recently began using
Google Earth maps. Each page on the Red Tide Current Status Web site will
have a link to an interactive map where the user can zoom in and zoom out on
different sections of the state, and click on a sample location for specific
information including latitude and longitude, sample date, and cell
concentration ranges.

In order to view this map, you must have Google Earth installed on your
computer. The Google Earth software can be downloaded from the Google Earth
Web site through the following link:

A very nice overview of art made from paper.

Sent to you by bkbelton via Google Reader: The Beauty of Paper Art via
Smashing Magazine Feed by Smashing Editorial on 5/29/10

The times when paper was considered to be the primary medium for
artistic expression is long gone. Many writers and designers use
digital media to improvise and develop their ideas. However, there is
something particuliar in this â€œphysicalâ€ canvas â€” something that keeps
us getting back to paper when we want to brainstorm ideas in a
notebook, doodle around in a sketchbook, collect inspiration in a
scrapbook or just draw some sketches for the next project.

In fact, paper is even more powerful than that. It is a very flexible
medium. You can use it paper only for giving your ideas and feelings
forms, but also as an expressive medium for creative artworks formed
out of paper. You can create a sharp-edged paper plane or ship, but
also form twisted curves of nature or complicated geometrical shapes.
In this weekendâ€™s post we present a showcase of paper art; you wil find
many beautiful carved, folded, cut out paper objects and realistic 3D
paper sculptures, all using paper, cardboxes or even books as
materials. Please make sure to follow the links to explore further
works of the artists presented below.
