Google Docs & Spreadsheets just got a new look and some new features.

Now you can organize your documents in folders, and when searching for a document, it dynamically suggests a query from your document collection.

Plus, as they put it on the Official Google Docs & Spreadsheets Blog, another new feature is simply “Looking Pretty.” And I agree. It does look better.

Read more about it on the Official Google Docs & Spreadsheets Blog, or take Google Docs & Spreadsheets for a spin yourself. All you need is a Google account, and if you don’t have one yet, then get on the ball!

From CNET News Blog:

Dell.com customers buying an XPS system, Inspiron notebook or Dimension desktop can select a “no software preinstalled” option. This will eliminate productivity, ISP, photo and music software, but not everything.

I’ve been waiting to hear this for quite some time. Glad to see they’re finally allowing you to opt out of them putting so much crapware on your machine so that you can save some of the hours it takes to uninstall this junk when you get a new Dell.

My buddy Los over at Ragamuffin Soul just posted this video, and I couldn’t help but post it here as well.

Totally hilarious, and totally accurate.

A couple of weeks ago, I got an e-mail and a call from a reporter with the Wall Street Journal. She was doing a story on the social/Web2.0 aspect of personal finance sites, and one of those sites was Wesabe.com. I’ve written about Wesabe a couple of times on here, so she wanted to see how it had helped me.

After a couple of phone interviews and a few e-mails, the article was published last week. Pretty cool to be involved in something like that out of nowhere. All because of a few things I share here and there on my blog.

You can give the article a read here: Managing Your Money in Public View via the Wall Street Journal Online.

Here’s what Marc Hedlund over at Wesabe had to say about it.

Some other sites with the article:

• AOL Money and Finance
• The Charlotte Observer
• Savannah Now

As of a few minutes ago, we’ve officially paid off Marie’s car! One more vehicle to go, and we’ll be through with Baby Step 2!

Shock of all shocks.

Google has bought yet another awesome service that I already use.

If you haven’t used Feedburner before, I encourage you to check it out. It makes things very simple, like podcasting and letting your users subscribe via e-mail instead of RSS, plus they keep things nice and tidy for you.
