David over at Nuevasync was kind enough to let me know about Nueva’s Yahoo! Contacts sync feature a month or so ago when they were testing it. My reaction was (almost embarrassingly) “Yahoo! has contacts?”. Yes, it has been a long time since I used Yahoo! Mail for anything and didn’t realize that their address book had been fleshed out in recent years. If you’re a Yahoo! lover or just user, and want to sync your Y! contacts with your Windows Mobile (or other Activesync compatible smartphone), Nueva has a new feature for you!

“The hot platform of the two is definitely Android, but Windows Mobile still has a lot to offer. While criticized for being an aging platform that has been around seemingly forever, the evolution of the WinMo ecosystem is, in fact, an advantage. If only Microsoft would make that clear.”

WinMo is not hot compared to Android, that’s for sure, but James Kendrick offers some insightful thoughts on the pros and cons of both platforms. Personally, I’m a fan of both (Android currently living in my pocket, WinMo 6.5 currently living in my bag – however that switches periodically!). The choice is up to the user, but it certainly isn’t an easy one by a long shot. Windows Mobile is far from being the featureless wasteland sometimes described by… Continue reading

About a month ago I decided to try something. For over 4 years I’d had a Gmail account that did little more than filter SPAM before it passed up to my exchange server, yet I kept hearing about all the awesome things you could do with Gmail. Sites touted various features and gizmos, the ability to search easier and the quicker load times than my existing solution, Outlook. So I decided to take the plunge and go Google for a bit and see how I felt about it.

On February 26 I disabled Gmail’s forwarding to my exchange server, and now after 1 month, I’m ready to share my impressions. First, I’ll share a bit about my motivations regarding the Google experiment. First, Outlook can… Continue reading

Red Sox being Red Sox not enough in October
Red Sox being Red Sox not enough in October
He was proud. He was pleased. He was a peacock. He was behind 7-3. He and his Boston Red Sox were still well on their way to a 3-1 American League championship series deficit to the Indians….Celebrating and taunting a solo shot to bring your team within four? This is what they call “Manny being Manny.” There was a reasonable chance he didn’t even know the score or situation when he hit it.
I’m not down on Manny in this post – I think he’s been an excellent player and enjoy a bit of flair (a term the announcers applied, not me in my office-space mind). However it was quite odd to see… Continue reading

LifeHacker has a great write-up on Yahoo! Pipes, a great new service that lets you take multiple RSS feeds and integrate, filter, truncate, and do other neat things to create a customized “pipe” or channel. I use it to take multiple RSS feeds and make them into one. Quite Cool Stuff!… Continue reading
