Another Free PDF to Word Document Online Converter

Back in April 2009 I reviewed PDFtoWord.com and recommended it as a useful and free method for converting a PDF document into a Word document.

The other day I came across another free online PDF to Word converter.  I prefer this newly discovered PDF conversion site, ConvertPDFtoWord.net, to PDFtoWord.com for several reasons.  First, I think it is more convenient to use because it immediately makes the converted file available via download rather than by email, which is how PDFtoWord.com delivers converted files.  (This also means no divulging of your email address or having to create a disposable one if you don't like having to give out your email address.) Also, ConvertPDFtoWord.net's interface is very simple; it consists of just a browse button to locate your file and then a "convert and download" button to execute the conversion.  On top of those nice features, I found the conversion done by ConvertPDFtoWord.net to be just as good as the one done by PDFtoWord.com.  

There are a few other nice features at ConvertPDFtoWord.net.  There is a link at the top of the page to remove a PDF's "password and restrictions."  At the bottom of the page there are links to other commonly needed file converters such as "Convert PDF to Image" and "Convert PDF to Text." 

I recommend giving ConvertPDFtoWord.net a try.

How to Watch Sports Broadcasts for Free Online

Trying to watch your favorite team's games can be both a real chore and really expensive. 

Local blackouts.  Costly sports subscription packages.  What's a poor fan to do?

As usual, the Web can come to the rescue.  Several websites rebroadcast sports events via streaming video. While none of these sites is perfect or foolproof, they can serve as an option for a fan that is desperate to watch their team. At each, navigate to the sports telecasts section and click on the game of your choice.  The quality of the video streams can be very uneven; sometimes they're good, other times poor.  The feeds can come from Canada or Europe as well as the U.S.

Here are several sites to try using to watch your favorite team online: 

1. ChannelSurfing.net
2. Atdhe.net
   
3. Justin.tv
   
4. ESPN360 - ESPN360 allows you to watch replays of games in addition to some live events; doesn't have NFL though.

I picked these because there is no need to install any additional software.   Having typically installed media viewers will suffice.
