As soon as I posted this previous week’s post How to Restrict Kid’s Access to Adult Sites, I have some few friends who suggested other “better” solutions than using Windows Live Family Safety. It is always good to have other options available and easier to use than the one I’ve suggested. I believe there isn’t a one size that fits all. It’s best to go for the one that fits your needs. If Windows Live Family Safety, then have a look at other options below.

Mid-afternoon Snack with the LunchBreakBlogger
LunchBreakBlogger is not the only blogger I know in real life. I know three others, two who were former classmates in college and one who was a former officemate. One of these three bloggers is famous in the Philippine blogosphere. As a freelancer with lesser contact with people on a daily basis than in a typical office setting, this meetup was seriously meaningful to me.
