My experience: I read the book, learned the concepts. It was great, and I even setup OmniFocus (Apple only) on my iPad and iPhone. Life was great, and then I changed employers and I was back to Windows and BlackBerry. It completely broke

There is a readme and a tutorial in the repo. The installation was simple and the first couple of tutorials run well. There is plenty to be desired, but it is much better than what I usually find in a V0.1 release. This looks very promis

So the bad news is that it is difficult to stop using Facebook. They let me export my data, but not birthdays of my friends list. I had to break the list down into family, friends, actual friends, then check each of their pages to update

This is a great story for people working for an HID startup. The finished product always seems so simple. I always liked the trackpoint more than trackball, and the ThinkPad always had the best implementation. However, I was introduced to

I only realized XMPP support was ending a month ago, I am not sure how I missed the notification but this just introduces a new way for me to miss messages. I think the writing is on the wall for XMPP, even Cisco is now working on Project S

It sure looks like Woz is holding solder with his mouth in the video. A lot more brave than I am, even if it is lead free. Maybe it is a generational thing, but my parents and adults around me when growing up were always warning me about
