As you may know I have an iPhone and now I have the iPhone 2.0 software. It is all good. I have the MobileMe trial going and I am going to do some limited testing. If it is good, I may migrate from GMail back to that (it was .Mac and I was a member […]

I’m currently sitting at McChevron, having purchased some WiFi, and now I am blogging.
This is working pretty well, however, I am going to see if there is any kind of Web based alternative to the built in text editor in Wordpress. Obviously, when you think about the limitations of the iPhone as a text editor […]

Why in the hell do I do these? Because I care, bokay?
In any event, I have now found online editor nirvana. Having discovered a plugin that turns the native Wordpress tag system into Technorati tags, I feel I can now blog from the native editor comfortably enough. The plugins I have are Simple Tags, and […]

I actually found Blogo by accident. There are some pretty cool features here, preview using my blog theme being the best one. Mostly, though, it feels uncooked.

Great tip article by Ron Griffiths
Create iCal events from anywhere:
While I rely on iCal to help me track meetings and to dos, I’ve always found the actual process of adding new events and to dos much more complex than it need be.

Flock, a browser designed on the Mozilla engine that powers Firefox and many others, like the Mac only Camino, is probably the only tool you will ever need if you are into social networking. It is designed around blogging and new media per se, with hooks to Weblogs like Wordpress, Movable Type, TypePad, and LiveJournal. […]

What I’ve seen so far, I like. Flock is based on the Mozilla engine which means it’s based on Firefox, bottom line. So far, I have not used any of the blog features, as I paid money for ecto, and I like the convenience of that too much. I will probably post my review using […]

If you updated your iPhone to 1.1.3 yesterday, and you’ve been using Gmail’s POP service (in other words, you hit the "Gmail"  button instead of "Other" when you set it up) you now have IMAP.
