Flight 002: The Night Before Departure

I never appreciated being home so much before. At this point, I find myself going into the office mostly for the social aspect. It's nice to actually go to lunch with friends instead of quickly grabbing a bite alone at the closest Starbucks, Subway, Chipotle, or (fill-in-generic-commercial-food-here).

As I was browsing through my Google Reader today, I came across a posting that proved my iPhone point! Check it out - Karl Rove uses an iPhone. Need I say more? Found it off Valleywag - http://valleywag.com/tech/politics/karl-rove-uses-an-iphone-286619.php.



Yes, I read Valleywag - so what? :) I've recently finally organized all the content I read into Google Reader and it's helped me reduce all the crap going into my mailbox. However, I now find myself with hundreds of items to read every day and I can't stand the idea of the number just going up and up if I slack off.

I signed up for Twitter today after reading in multiple places on what a "killer app" it is. I'm sorry to say that I just don't get what all the hype is about yet. I'll keep sending out the minor details of my life until I have no followers left though . . .

I did discover an app recently that has brought me much delight: Digsby. It would be doing a disservice to compare it to Trillian because it's so much more. I've used Trillian for so long now that I liken it to the abusive boyfriend that makes you think all men suck. Digsby is the guy who picks you up off the ground and dusts you off. Or something like that :) Anyway, I would highly recommend Digsby to any Windows user who has multiple chat accounts and doesn't want to run AIM, Y!M, MSN, etc. simultaneously on their machine. It allows you to double-sort on your contact list and includes not only more IM protocols (e.g. Google Talk, Jabber) but also social networks (Facebook, Twitter) and email (gmail, y! mail, imap, etc). Check it out and tell me what you think.

Back on the road tomorrow headed for SoCal.
