I’ve moved most of my personal “PIM stuff” online this weekend. I had been a bit frustrated lately, organizationally and technologically. I had been “living” on my PowerBook, using OS X’s mail client, address book and calendaring program. They’re great, especially as integrated with each other as they are, but they do all live in one […]

Drive Carefully
Not that you shouldn’t all the time anyway, but it’s time to keep an extra eye out for the kids as you head off to work in the morning and return in the afternoons. School’s beginning, at least here in Georgia – some counties started last week, Fulton county’s kids went back to class yesterday […]
