There are 2 things that have kept my Blackberry from completely replacing my laptop and I think these problems represent a threat for Blackberry.
I can’t blog easily from Blackberry. Opera min is enabling that but it still lacks all the browser capability I’ve become used to in from FireFox. A lot of that functionality aides […]

This is something that every business owner or manager (especially US ones) needs to be thinking about. Recessions are only bad for those companies (and people) not prepared. For businesses that are well prepared they can propell […]
Maybe that’s a bit melodramatic but if you’re one of my local readers and a blogger (or a blogger groupie spouse/significant other of a blogger) we’ve finally scheduled our long awaited Boise Blogger Meetup. This does of course include those within driving/flying distance to Boise.
January 29th around 5:30 or 6:00 @ Lush (on Main […]
As I’ve said before I’m a huge fan of The Office. For me it has been the biggest casualty of the writers strike. Fortunatley I have all three seasons on DVD.
