This is a picture of the drain in our water fountain at work. Reminded me of the icon for RSS related feeds. Best picture I could get with the cell phone. I know - I need a life.

While on vacation last week I was messing around with all the syncing options I have. If you read one of my earlier entries about switching from Apple’s Mail to Microsoft Entourage you will recall that I use Exchange2003 at work, which syncs to Entourage on my PowerBook via the Outlook Web Access front [...]

It seems like every quarter or so there is a rumor or discussion about Apple coming out with their own phone. I’ll go along and call it the iPhone. I am of the belief that eventually the phone is going to win when it comes to portable devices. In many aspects it already [...]

I have to figure out what it takes to get my kids (you know, Paris and Nicki) to use utensils when they eat. We finally got through the wide open mouth eating with the smack, smack, smack, that comes along with every chew, but they would still rather pick up everything with their hands. [...]

I did a bunch of research on a GPS Navigation system that we could take with us on vacation. I ended up with the Garmin Nuvi 350. This thing is nice and tiny with a crystal clear screen. It gave us very good directions and talked us through all the upcoming turns. [...]
It’s great to get away for a while, but it always feels good to get back home. Don’t get me wrong, I would definitely rather still be on vacation, but it feels good to be sitting here in my own house after traveling for 9 days.
