Managing e-mail on your Blackberry … block it all

Huh?  Isn’t the whole point of having a Blackberry getting e-mail on the go?  Yes.  The problem is that if you let all the e-mail through, your Berry might be pinging (or whatever your alert sound is) all the time.  At first I just tried routing everything through GMail and that worked pretty well.  Then […]

It takes more that a cool tool to GTD you have to learn how to use it

Glen over at LifeDev does it again.  I’m a huge fan of Basecamp and the other web-based apps by 37Signals.  Thing is I think, like many folks, I don’t begin to tap into their full potential, or even to use them to really help me in the whole GTD process.  Well, Glen got some advice […]

How to Make Your Downward Dog Work for You

Sitting on your bum all day “working” (yeah right, we caught ya surfing), can be tough on the tushy. The long and lean and mellow and zen folks at Yoga at Work, want to help you change all that.
They get that life is a circus and we’re all just juggling little colored balls or spinning plates […]

Blind Carbon Copy (Bcc) a blessing and a curse, when do you use it?

This might be a tad overblown, but still lots of people don’t know when to Bcc and when not to.  Blind carbon copy is a very interesting e-mail thing.  Unlike Cc where everyone sees who has received the e-mail, with Bcc you only see the person in the To line (hint: for mass e-mails, it […]

Scrybe looks amazing! Web-based organization with offline use!

I caught this on Download Squad this morning.  The movie says it all, so I’ll let you watch it, then we’ll chat.

Ready?  Is that freakin’ awesome or what?!?  I’m blown away.  Like the folks at DownloadSquad I’ve requested early admission into the Scrybe beta test group.  Since this blog is so new, I’m going on […]

Use desktop search to find your stuff

Okay so how many e-mails are in your inbox right now?  Me?  773.  That’s from October only.  Now, what about that presentation you created three months ago and need for something else right now?  Word doc?  Spreadsheet?  I think you’re getting the idea.  With today’s massive harddrives (my first Mac had a 20 meg HD […]

Remote access software. is it worth using?

LifeHacker suggests remote control software to help friends and family with computer problems, which makes some sense.  They point to a new player LogMeIn which offers one free version and several pay options.  The pay options seem a tad steep to me, but let’s think about this from the PYW perspective for a moment.
Should you […]
