First, I saw Mike Hyatt’s review of his first 30 days with his iPhone.
Then I discovered that the professional reader of Harry Potter books has an entry about the iPhone. (In fact, he is a passionate machead.)

Remember Max Headroom?–a show I am not ashamed to call awesome, the first (only?) cyberpunk show we ever got on TV.
Well, I’m not thinking of AI comedy.  I’m thinking of the news show.  Remember?  The protagonist was a journalist who lugged around his own camera and it gave immediate feed.  He was also connected to [...]

I’ve mentioned 30boxes before. Google’s calendar is quite functional, I’m sure, but 30boxes has some unique features and, besides, I can’t allow the secret agents of Google to know everything about me that easily.
What you get with 30boxes is

a text-entry feature that allows you to quickly set a date and reminder without using your [...]

I’m tempted to say it is providential, except that I know the difference between “providence” and “serendipity.” This weekend a friend was telling me about Vern Poythress‘ article on Microsoft. I promised to look for it (and blog about it) but forgot.
But look at this headline from the top of Google News’ tech [...]

Today I went to the local Apple Store. I needed to pick up a small adapter, so I could use my favorite head phones with my new iPhone. When I arrived, I was surprised by the crowd. The store was jammed with people. But I was almost immediately greeted by an Apple clerk, [...]

I don’t have time to say much because I’m taking the older three to a baseball game (free nosebleeders!).  But, if you have any time, check out this–three widgets in one!  Is it not gorgeous?  So far I’ve only really used the photomanager and it previews like the album covers on iTunes.  Just amazing.

OK, despite my horrible experience, I really love Shelfari. So I can sing its praises let me first clear my conscience by reminding you of what happened:
How I became a spammer: A morality tale in five lessons
If you don’t have time to read that, here is the short version:
DO NOT UPLOAD YOUR ADDRESS BOOK [...]

Webbalert reported today :
What’s better? $400.00 or free? Google and Sun are betting they can win you over from Microsoft Office, with free StarOffice. That’s not exciting enough? There are rumors of more announcements coming today.

I am way busy getting the house ready for visitors, so WWW will have to be truncated.
I have loved moneytrackin’ for budgeting projects. I will eventually want something tied to my bank account, but for now this is just fine. The use of tags is really helpful.
My only advice would be to think [...]

I got rid of my twitter window.  I don’t see the attraction.

Wow. A blogger spent a lot of time putting together this survey of the GTD app landscape. I am quite impressed. Will be bookmarking this for future GTD tools for some time to come.
(Much of this is for the Mac, but not all. Besides, with more web tools available, OS is [...]

I’ve blogged about this earlier, but I thought Joe’s Goals deserved more comment and made a worthy beginning to my new and continuing (I hope) Wednesday blog topic.
Due to my trip to Florida, I have fallen away from using it. But I will get back in the saddle soon because I have found it [...]

Whatever else you come away with from this post: I hope I didn’t mean to! and I hope to stop being stupid some day! top your list.
LESSON THE FIRST: never import your address book
Someone invited me to Shelfari and I joined. That wasn’t the problem. The problem was that they nicely asked me [...]

Jim commented:
After reading this blog I decided to take a look at the task tools you mentioned. I’m looking a Nozbe now, but TaskToy — what is it? The Tasktoy website is just a signup page, with no information as to what in the heck Tasktoy is, or even what it looks like. No FAQ, [...]

Hey Mark, thank you for your recommendation that I take the plunge into the Mac world. I have had my Mac for two months now and I continue to grow in my appreciation of it. I had been a PC man for 15 years and the idea of crossing over initially frightened me. [...]

I’m listening to the latest Macbreak weekly as I empty the dishwasher and I wonder if anyone out there could get me a skitch invitation.  It sounds cool.

For those of you interested (or in need) of GTD (despite the deep weird), The GTD Wannabe blog has posted a review of the online gtd app, Nozbe. I’ve noticed Nozbe before, and think it is the right direction to go. I am more and more inclined to prefer online services to downloading [...]

The Republic of Geektronica has a short but useful entry on “the trouble with to-do lists.” The trouble with these lists is, in short, that if you have everything on them you get really intimidated and try to avoid looking at them. Geektronica suggests some work-arounds utilizing Remember the Milk. Since I’m [...]

In keeping with my observation on the Kevin MD post about Google and their health advisors, I notice this observation regarding the iPhone:
It is in some ways astonishing that AT&T and Apple are partners at all. AT&T is the oldest of the old school—the most ancient major high-tech firm in the United States, founded in [...]
