Abstract: A computer system organizes text narratives and images about events using character tags, which are tags that are defined by users with respect to those persons that are depicted in the text narratives and images. Each character tag is associated with either a user profile or a pseudo-profile. A pseudo-profile for a person is created by a user when the user does not know if the person has a user profile in the computer system. An invitation e-mail that is sent to a prospective user may include content stored in the computer system, or a hyperlink to such content, that has been tagged with the character tag of the prospective user.

Abstract: Content that has been entered by a user for one purpose is used to generate new content for the user's life story collection. This facilitates the generation of relevant content in a life story collection system. In one example, a user enters a text narrative of a life story and that text narrative is used to generate one or more images that can be added to the life story. In another example, e-mail communication between two users is parsed and transformed into content that can be added to the life stories of the users. In still another example, a comment made by a user to life stories of another user is parsed and transformed into content that can be added to the life story of the user.

Abstract: A method and system for calculating grilling timelines and parameters for specific items to be cooked on a grill includes presenting to a user an input screen and means for inputting grilling planning assumptions. Information about items to be grilled includes default grilling time, doneness factor, thickness factor, cut of meat factor and refrigerator factor as normalized values. A grilling timeline is calculated running the information through a summing function to result in a calculated grilling time per side value which is then output and displayed to the user.
