Does anyone still smoke?
I was happily jogging on a treadmill at the gym today when this women gets on the treadmill next to me and it starts smelling like a chimney. Has she not read that smoking will kill her? Besides the kill her part, how about the bad smelling clothing and the funny looks people give you when they smell you? When I was in college I took bowling with a friend of mine (hey, it was $2.50 for 3 games of bowling...couldn't beat that). Basically before we went, we changed into almost disposable clothing as the smoke filled alley made our clothes smell awful. Luckily smoking isn't allowed in bowling alleys any more. Speaking of bowling, I need to do that again.

iPod Nano
I received an iPod Nano yesterday and must say that it's a pretty cool little device. The display is readable (however, the font is a little fuzzy) and the weight is amazing. Due to the small size, Apple sort of has you buy accessories...how can I hold this when I goto the gym? Had to plunk down $30 on an armband. The armband is just a piece of neoprene with some Velcro. I actually thought of using some duct tape and a plastic bag to fashion my own armband, but used by better judgement to spend the money on something that is proven to work.

Missing Sync for Palm OS 5 Shipped!
For the last 6 or 7 months, I've been working on Missing Sync for Palm OS. We have finally shipped and it is a big relief. I acted not only as the lead engineer, but as product manager due to others at Mark/Space being quite busy. Needless to say, at times, I've been overwhelmed taking on two major roles. I think that this product has killer features. It has much better syncing support for Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks, as well as the features I worked on: overhauled UI, auto sync vs sharing detection, iTunes conduit, folder sync conduit, iPhoto to handheld, as well as a number of bug fixes. If you're a Macintosh and Palm OS user, I highly recommend you purchase or upgrade! If you're on the fence about upgrading or purchasing, trust me, it is well worth the money as it is leaps and bounds better than Palm's HotSync Manager, Apple's iSync Palm Conduit and even Missing Sync for Palm OS 4.

Election time is always a fun time of the year
I sure do love receiving the phone calls (luckily to a voicemail only number) and the printed junk telling me what to vote for in the upcoming election. Luckily I don't have to sit through the TV commercials as we skip through them on TiVo. One of the interesting pieces of junk mail we received today had Mac OS X written all over it. They modified the Finder's Go menu and added Uncover->The Hidden Agenda. Very slick looking and then they used Safari for the web browser pictured in the ad.
