Why I Wish the iPhone Was a Flip Phone

January 8, 2008

So we’re on vacation in Fiji. Our flight gets delayed, so I called my parents (who were picking us up) to let them know the new plan. Hung up. Stuck the phone in my pocket. Went for a walk. Didn’t think about the phone for almost an hour. Pulled the phone out of my pocket. [...]

It Just Works: Jott and Remember the Milk

September 23, 2007

Two new (still in beta) web services have become favorite parts of my digital life: Jott and Remember the Milk.

Remember the Milk is a nicely done personal to-do list application. I’ve been using it for about two months now and it’s become the official repository for all of my “honey-do” lists. Most [...]

September 23, 2007

Very cool things are happening in the world of in-car navigation systems.

Paul Stamatiou wrote last week about the upcoming Dash Express. It’s an in-car GPS navigation system that is Internet-powered.

It’s still not totally wonderful, but I have a new Treo 700p (now on Verizon instead of Sprint) and it’s mostly working now.

Cisco VPN, Bluetooth Internet Phones, and Intel Macs Don’t Mix

July 9, 2006

Just a quick note: I’ve discovered that the Cisco 3000 VPN software (version 4.9.00.0050) will not work on an Intel-based Mac when connected to the Internet via a Bluetooth-enabled phone. When you click on the “Connect” button, it stalls in the “connecting to server…” stage and never presents the password dialog.

I’ve tried this on [...]

Using a Treo 700p with a Mac: It’s Rough

June 26, 2006

Update: See “Persistence Pays Off: Treo and Mac Get Along — Mostly.”

Talk about life on the bleeding edge. I recently got a new MacBook Pro laptop for work, which kind of triggered a chain reaction of other purchases.

I have a two-year old Samsung Palm phone hosted by Sprint , which [...]
